(14,779 posts)61. My point was FDR was to the RIGHT of Congress
The Democrats had so many Senators that the GOP could NOT filibusterer. it was so far to the left FDR had to veto on an average of at over 50 bills every year. The reason is how far to the left Congress was compared to FDR. OBama did NOT have a Congress that far to the left.

Obama's Democratic Congress was no where near as left wing as the Congresses of the 1930s
