I've already mentioned...

...that LBJ passed Medicare in 1965 when he had 68 Democrats in the Senate. I just read that FDR passed Social Security in 1935 when the Senate contained 75 Democrats. And he got 16 of the 25 Republicans in the Senate and 81 of the 102 Republicans in the House to vote with him! Puts Obama's task in perspective.
