WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's sweeping health care legislation won precious support from a longtime liberal holdout in the House on Wednesday and from Catholic nuns representing dozens of religious orders, gaining fresh traction in the run-up to a climactic weekend vote.

Exactly when did the President of the United States gain the power to craft legislation? Is this the President's creation?

Article. I. - Section 1.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Source: U.S. Constitution

Seems pretty clear, doesn't it? If all legislative power is granted to the Congress, why call it President Obama's legislation? Is the Congress embarrassed?
