best example is LBJ getting massive amount of legislation through the Congress.  Legislation that even JFK couldn't get through.

Been reading these comments and they are interesting. haven't  commented here for awhile, but read at times.

Punchy and Flyerhawk:  LBJ worked-arm twisted congressmen to get his legislation through. That's how it works-not literally, figuratively.  He cut deals with them, traded votes, and knew what the vulnerabilities of each (knew the skeltons in the closet)--that is how it is done!

Plus, I thought Obama was suppposed to be the supreme one in reaching across the aisles and getting things done. No more excuses.
