Obama's Goal: Be The Left's Ronald Reagan
The conservative takeover of the Republican Party and the presidency of Ronald Reagan threw liberalism and the entire achievement of Democratic progressivism onto the defensive, more rhetorically than politically but in fact in both senses, for decades.
O has tried to reverse that, and is still trying.
The congress will not give him what he wants on much of anything, of course, including his regrettable climate stuff.
One can only hope he is prepared to use his veto to defend not just his own progressive achievements but those of the illustrious past, as well.
After progressive advance, gridlock is second best.
