Eisenhower. Not LBJ, Not St. Ronnie, Not Clinton, Not W but, Barack Hussein Obama. If that isn't a mandate, I don't know what is. You know what Ike did with his mandate? He paid off the WW2 debt, and built the interstate highway system with borrowed money, balanced the budget (the last republican to do so) So I agree, He has as close to a mandate as there could be in today's political climate.

I agree 100% JeffHead Jan 2013 #50

51% isnt exactly a 'mandate'. it means that 49% of the voters dont agree with it. pasto76 Jan 2013 #48
