Reply #37: That was Nixon in the 1970's.....He was hardly a progressive iderologue

So the fact that a douchebag like Nixon failed to get something fairly good passed in the 1970's justifies 30 years of inaction after that, and is a good reason not to try anything meaningful now?

Jeezum...That sounds like justifying not attempting anything ever.

And, once again, that's a diversion from the specific discussion at hand, which is how the actual policies of President Obama compare to other presidents in terms of liberalism.
