Obama however has issued the most Memos of any president. They are used in place of executive orders making him seem like he isn't using many orders but with the way he makes them have similar effect.


Same thing. Its just semantics you are playing

Cheerleading adds nothing to the discussion.

Barak Obama ceases to be President at 12:00 noon on Jan 20 2017. Until that minute he is still President and he has the legal power to submit the name of a person to replace Justice Scallia to the Senate. Several supreme court justices have had their name submitted in the last year of the (then sitting) President's term. It is perfectly legal.

It is a game of semantics you are playing,period. He can't get his legislation through Congress because he is so inept.

The only bias I am aware of in that respect is considering him the least fragrant turd.

Misleading graphs may be created intentionally to hinder the proper interpretation of data or accidentally due to unfamiliarity with graphing software, misinterpretation of data, or because data cannot be accurately conveyed. Misleading graphs are often used in false advertising. One of the first authors to write about misleading graphs was Darrell Huff, publisher of the 1954 book How to Lie with Statistics.Graphs may be misleading through being excessively complex or poorly constructed. Even when constructed to accurately display the characteristics of their data, graphs can be subject to different interpretation

none of those apply to the above graph as the axis is clearly labeled and isn't in a misleading shape, nor is it correlating with anything as there's only one dataset.

The point of the graph is somewhat misleading, executive orders can be for things like formally honoring some accomplishment or milestone, naming a national park, mostly non-controversial stuff. It doesn't matter how many executive orders Obama has made, that is not the issue, but rather whether or not he has exceeded his constitutional bounds and I would say that Obama has pushed it further than any president since at least FDR.

But I don't know what LKL was implying by the graph anyways tho...

(clicky)McConnell, back in 1970 when tricky dicky was POTUS, said on record that it was perfectly legitimate for POTUS to alter the ideological direction of SCOTUS
ok, why does he say the opposite thing now? how does that not make him and his supporters the most rank hypocrites? this is just another example of the GOP straining at gnats but swallowing camels.
