>> Nope. The House rarely has come up with legislation. When it has on occasion, it couldn't agree with the Senate on joint legislation to pass onto the president. I wish you all were learn how our gov't works. There are more than 200 bills that have passed in the House and the Senate has refused to bring them to a vote. Harry Reid has been the worst Senate leader I know of; I can recall at no time this kind of obstruction by any Senate leader. Can you?

Ted, open your eyes. When it comes to immigration, the odds are NOT in favor of Obama: Low marks in poll for Obama on handling of immigration reform While Democrats hope that President Obama’s decision to move unilaterally on immigration reform will buoy their electoral chances in the fall, a new poll shows that approval of the president’s handling of the issue has fallen to a record low. Just 31 percent of Americans say they approve of how the president has handled immigration reform, according to a poll from CBS News. That’s an encouraging sign for Republicans after the House declined to move on a bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill that emerged from the Senate last year. And there’s plenty more bad news for the president, whose overall approval rating is a mere 41 percent. A majority of respondents, 54 percent, disapprove of how the president is handling the economy, while just 40 percent approve, despite significant gains in the stock market and steady hiring. Meanwhile, only 36 percent approve of the president’s handling of foreign policy amid swirling crises in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
