re: #209 NelsFree

The last time a Democrat President had a majority in both House and Senate was LBJ. What resulted was the War on Poverty, Medicaid/Medicare, Public Housing complexes filling with Welfare mothers, and the President personally identifying targets for airstrikes in Viet Nam.
Clinton had a chance to sign more Liberal legislation until Newt and Rush got involved in 1994. It is my opinion that Obama knows he has an 18 month window, and he’s pushing as fast as he can.

I say 12-16 months. The latest RCP polling data shows that the majortiy dont like the direction of the country. Obama has been stuck at near 60/30 approval for a while now.
