15. And LBJ had the entire Southern tier of Democrats against him,

Along with the Republican party, yet the man was a master of strong arming Congress and immediately put that to good use, and voila, within six months we had the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Complaining about a GODDAMN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS being obstructionist is lame, it's nothing more than a bullshit excuse. If Obama can't get people in his own party to move, then his leadership capabilities are worthless and he needs to step aside in 2012 in favor of somebody who can actually lead.
