My point stands, though, Total number of bills pushed to Obama each congress isn't that much lower than the average, and him having fewer ceremonial signings (although he still had 60) doesn't mean nothing hit his desk. If you wanted to complain about something, you could complain that Obama sponsored something like 140 bills and only 2 made it to his desk, but the popular meme about congress completely stonewalling Obama by not passing anything is just objectively untrue.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about with this post. Like I said, the comparison is wrong because Reagan pushed policies that were transformatively conservative and that the Democratic party at-large would be opposed to and still managed to pass as much as Obama, who openly attempted to put together compromise plans for years to get GOP buy-in and failed to do so. It's not just a bean-counting game or whatever
