(4,835 posts)I just don't think you're comparing apples with apples when you set him up against Clinton or Obama because FDR had 12 years of democratic controlled congress.
Both Nixon and Eisenhower had pretty liberal administrations - not because they were liberal themselves, but because the president is somewhat limited by the 'work' coming out if congress.
It doesn't matter how much you care about ALL Americans - when all congress does is hold votes to repeal Obamacare. The president's hands are tied.
It's the same with Dubya, pound on him all you want - he would have been a liberal president if he'd had 8 years of democratic congress. Unfortunately the makeup of congress is somewhat representative of the attitude of Americans, and there's still too many people leaning right to push an extreme left position.
