conscientia mille testes
The OP is absolutely right, and the inability of anyone to refute it proves it.
I made myself watch the vid.....oy.
so what is there to debate or refute? yea, he signed laws and got legislation passed, that in the end will cost his a historic loss, and truin the pres into a lame duck 2 years onto his term...(wonderful, great thats like sooooo huge an achievement.did you watrch the vid btw? )..
all done with a majority in each house I and senate. I am sorry, so what is this vast huge achievement? Unless of course, your attitude is fuck whats in a bill, just win by passing something, anything.....only a died in the wool uber partisan can actually believe this type of nonsense is a net plus for dems...or the country...but then again today wouldn't have been possible without this type of uber partisanship so I guess I have answered my own question.
but hey some of us know this, because we have a grounding HISTORY....so Carbineer, my take is; LBJ, though I don't have much love for the man as a man and generally as a pres. was a master legislator. He knew that for legislation to have a chance AND last, he needed the 'others'.
you see, he too had majorities in both chambers, BUT he helped craft the legislation with the house and senate leaders and folks from the other side of the aisle, which resulted in? Taaa daa, substantial bi-partisan sppt. for the landmark bills he got passed as pres....
So flash to today, here we have madcow trying to make it appear as though the leg. 'vcitories' of obama, resulting in what may be the drubbing of a life time, was some millennial benchmark...Obama could not sniff his socks, neither can harry or nancy carry the bags of Mansfield or McCormack.
In short this was just self serving dreck.
