Obama cannot introduce legislation outside of executive orders, legislation needs to come from the House or Senate, both of which have GOP majority leadership right now. What few pieces of legislation are actually making it through the House and Congress are heavily GOP favored bills that Obama is unlikely to sign.
And really, the GOP is still so busy trying to expose Benghazi for the 40th time and trying to repeal the ACA for the 100th time, when do you suppose they actually will have a spot open on the schedule for actually doing their jobs of running the country??
This country might not have so many issues if the GOP would stop wasting money on Benghazi hearings that will never go anywhere and wasting even more money trying to repeal Obamacare. And that doesn't even begin to touch the desire to stop Gay Marriage and the need to defund Planned Parenthood. Those things are far more important.
Maybe if our Senators and Representatives would focus on the actual problems at hand--continued low wages, a lack of good employment, making sure all Americans have access to healthcare, stopping the Pharmaceutical industry from bankrupting all of us, keeping Wall Street from wrecking the global economy again...etc.--maybe then Obama would get more done.
Until we have a legislative branch that's willing to even attempt to do their jobs correctly, the POTUS can't accomplish all that much.
