If you are going to pump this "This guy should be your leader" stuff, at least try to justify it.

Not surprisingly, not doing anything would make him an excellent President compared to people like George W. Bush. If we had good leadership, then that is where candidates would have to compete by creating good policies to be better than their opponents. Currently, leadership is abysmal and saying "well, at least I didn't completely fuck up the US and Iraq" makes one a worthy candidate, whereas "not authoring any legislation" makes you one of the best.
