Obama To Press Corps: I Can’t Make GOP Cooperate On Budget

51. He DID do a good job touring the country for modest Gun Control legislation....

...AFTER the issue had 90% Approval with the public.
"Way to get out in front on that issue Mr. President"!!!!

Looks like he got the part about standing in front of approving crowds down pat,
but the part where he has to twist arms and cut deals INSIDE HIS OWN PARTY
to Get the VOTES......another failure.

"Johnson was the catalyst, the cajoler in chief. History records him as the nation's greatest legislative politician. In a great piece on the Daily Beast website, LBJ aide Tom Johnson, writes about how his old boss would have gotten a health care reform bill through the current congress. It's worth reading to understand the full impact of the "Johnson treatment" and how effective LBJ could be in winning votes for his legislation."

"Strong and successful presidents (meaning those who get what they want - whether that happens to be good for the country or not) do not accept "the best deal on the table". They take out their carpentry tools and the build the goddam piece of furniture themselves. Strong and successful presidents do not get dictated to by the political environment. They reshape the environment into one that is conducive to their political aspirations."

Have you finished rolling on the floor,
because I'm not laughing,
and if you took a REAL look at the direction we are heading,
you wouldn't be rolling on the floor either.
(By the way, you should see someone about that.)
