Obama has most legislative success of any modern president -- including Reagan

By GottaLaff

Why, this must mean everyone has been wrong! The punditiots have been wrong, the memes have been wrong, the wrongistas have been wrong.

Yes, as difficult as this is to process, the Democratic Congress (that is apparently in dire straits, especially after President Scott Brown got elected) has been successful.

Under President Obama's leadership.

Democratic.

Congress.

Successful:

Norm Ornstein argues that despite poor approval rates "this Democratic Congress is on a path to become one of the most productive since the Great Society 89th Congress in 1965-66, and Obama already has the most legislative success of any modern president -- and that includes Ronald Reagan and Lyndon Johnson. The deep dysfunction of our politics may have produced public disdain, but it has also delivered record accomplishment."
Imagine that.

Obama/Biden is like Kennedy/Johnson


In the video down a bit, faux Dem Kristen Powers maumaud the comparison of Obama/Biden to Bush/Cheney, but wouldn't a fairer (and more accurate) comparison be Kennedy/Johnson?

Both Biden and Johnson shore(d) up a area or demographic that the headliner needed. Cheney didn't do that for Bush. Both are known for "downhominess", shooting off at the mouth etc. Not Cheney.

Did I miss any other similarities?
