I hear you about 2013. But for 08-09 he had both houses. He did zip on guns and immigration.
House passed stimulus in January 2009 with no Republican votes. Senate passed it with 61 votes (3 republicans). Signed into law in February 2009. You are right though, he did get big things done during those few days when they had control. Don't think he could have tied gun legislation into the stimulus though...

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
