President Obama has highest legislative success rate in 5 decades

To Republicans who joke Obama has done nothing, and to Obama’s liberal critics who vent about the same, a study done by Congressional Quarterly suggests they are both wrong.

Obama’s success rate in the House and Senate on votes where he staked out a clear position was 96.7 percent, beating previous record-holder Johnson’s 93 percent in 1965.

Photos………………

Well, the photo expedition was postponed until Sunday morning due to a malfunctioning hot water heater – Poppa had to be summoned to diagnose and repair a faulty system – so Dee and I went out this morning.

Flickr is a pain, if you ask me, but here are the shots I promised.
