Legislators Don't Want Signature Legislation Associated With President's Name -- Not a Bakken Story

His party does not want his name associated with his signature legislation.

To the best of my knowledge, this was not the case with Reaganomics.

Meanwhile, the president hasn't even phoned the House committee chairman to talk about the budget even though the president has made "many public statements that he wants 'aggressive' conversations with Republicans, especially Mr. [Paul] Ryan.

It's interesting to note that Mr Ryan represents the state of Wisconsin where there's been an outcry of support to rein in government spending.
