The president does not pass laws, congress does. Blaming Bush is unproductive.

No, Bush is partly to blame because in order for something to become law, Bush must sign it. To date, President Bush lifted the veto pen out of the ink well.

Sorry, but yes. Bush is dealing with a bunch of Prima-donnas who all want their way. Bush can veto but it is up to congress to pass the laws. Bush has threatened vetos and congress has followed his wishes, but on other things Bush allows congress to prevail. I'm not a fan of Bush not doing more either, but that is still not where the problem is.
