Paul Ryan, not a closer

[naynay]

wow. he passed 2 bills in 10 years!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/12/paul-ryan-bills_n_1769816.html

Ryan, who Mitt Romney has tapped as his running mate, passed a bill into law in July 2000 that renames a post office in his district. Thanks to Ryan, the post office on 1818 Milton Ave. in Janesville, Wis., is now known as "Les Aspin Post Office Building."

The other time Ryan saw one of his bills become law was in December 2008, with legislation to change the way arrows (as in bows and arrows) are hit with an excise tax. Specifically, his bill amended the Internal Revenue Code to impose a 39-cent tax per arrow shaft, instead of a 12.4 percent tax on the sales price. The bill also "includes points suitable for use with arrows in the 11 percent excise tax on arrow parts and accessories."

You missed his budgets didn't you? And how many bills are sitting on Reid's desk?

[Vertnut]

I find it interesting that you never discuss Barry's true accomplishments or his budgets from these last 4 years, though I know it would be a VERY short discussion considering there's none of either.

Where are the pics of all the 400k houses in your neighborhood over flowing with democrat yard signs? Just like Obama and not follow thru with your promises?

[DON SVO]

Y'all are completely missing his long-term election troll-job. I don't agree with NayNay in the slightest regarding his views but I think they're more geared towards a rebuttal of posting trends.

Rodney, carry on. It's spectacular work.

I know this is his claim but I don't buy it. It's his true opinion masked by a fabricated troll job so to not be bashed by 95 % of the board on the subject. He wants Obama in office but doesn't have a valid reason as to why, hence the troll job

Totally agree.

thanks. not crawfishin' says something about you. with that being said, where were the $200k-$400k houses again? that was the point. not that you couldnt find a yard sign here or there, but rather you claimed a neighborhood of $300k houses jam packed with doctors, lawyers, and learned men were heavily one sided on the left. those pics mean nothing

No Donald. You have to pick the Republican side, otherwise your always wrong.

You're still missing the point.

Is this a setup?

Obama was elected senator in '05. He passed 0, hell he voted present 96% of the time too. You ain't gonna pass shit with present.

What has Obama passed since becoming president besides Obama care?

[CJ]

When your candidate has no accomplishments, attack the other guy.

Correct. At least this time around.

Barack Obama sponsored 137 bills from 4 Jan 2005 until 16 November 2008. Two became law.[1] This figure does not include bills to which Obama contributed as cosponsor, such as the Coburn-Obama Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 or the Lugar-Nunn Cooperative Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance, and Conventional Threat Reduction Act of 2006. Nor does it include amendments to other bills, although in the Senate these are not required to be germane to the parent bill and can therefore effectively be bills in their own right.[2] During the same time period, Obama has co-sponsored 689 bills in total; 408 of which had secured his support by the day they were originally introduced in the Senate.


The focus of legislation reflects his minority party appointments in Senate Resolution 6 of the 109th Congress to the Committee on Environment and Public Works, the Committee on Foreign Relations, and the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and subsequent majority party appointments in the 110th Congress to the latter two committees and the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.


The status of Obama's bills and resolutions as noted in the below table is in accordance with thomas.loc.gov. Introduced in the Senate (IS) refers to bills pending approval in committee. Reported to the Senate (RS) refers to bills that have received favorable report in committee and may be placed on the calendar for vote. Approved by the Senate (ATS) describes bills which have gained approval.[3] Govtrack links from this column provide updated status, summaries, and full text of the bills.
