Do you really think that Obamacare, Stimulus, et al would have occurred without Obama leading the charge. Yes, technically The House has the purse strings, but a President has quite a bit of power over what does and does not get through.

Further, since the left likes to cackle about the cost of "Bush's wars" wouldn't your suggestion place the blame on The House because they hold the purse strings?
