82. When was the last time since 1969 that the Democratic Party
had control of the Whitehouse, Congress, Supreme Court and Media at the same time? Since 1969 we've briefly had Carter, who was hamstrung by the effects of the oil "crisis" and betrayed through the machinations of Nixonian cold warriors, and Clinton, who, for most of his presidency, faced one of the most vicious, partisan Congresses in American history. What, pray, do you expect? Perhaps you should compare the achievements from periods when the Democratic Party has *really* enjoyed ascendancy (New Deal, Great Society), with the last two years of Republican domination. I know which I prefer...
