All presidents want to do something...give them Congress and they will be liberals otherwise look out...I love president Obama but there is no doubt in my mind he would have worked with the GOP had the GOP been willing...he put chained CPI on the table! Clinton was a good president who barely got elected with help from Perot...and saved us from eight more years of the GOP ...had he not been elected, the GOP would have been in held the office for 20 years. As for re-balancing...the country has moved right...look at the states so no matter how much you and I want it to be true that the country is liberal, it isn't at the moment...and the balance you speak of would lead to electoral losses just like in the 70's and 80's.
