No; he's not the president yet. Wait til next Feb or March, after he submits them to Congress.


'Scuse me? He's a Senator, isn't he? When it comes to working across the aisle and getting proposals actually PASSED, Senator John McCain (who has equally never been President) can point to bills: McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, Gang of 14 agreement on judges, all the things that movement conservatives are mad at him for.

And where was Barack Obama when these proposals were passed? Even for the ones since 2006, he was notably missing in action. He wasn't part of McCain-Kennedy or the Gang of 14.

Barack Obama has never crossed the aisle to work on anything or to get anything passed. In fact, he's gotten nothing noteworthy passed, period. He just votes the straight liberal ticket in the Senate. He's a highly reliable partisan Senator.
