The weird thing about Barack Obama is that he had the talent and timing to be one of the most important presidents in US history, comparable to FDR, but instead he just wanted to get $80 million from Netflix

People with this perspective on Obama should read the many books by and about him http://www.tinyrevolution.com/mt/archives/002530.html https://twitter.com/zoe_samuel/status/1320740333630689287

It's hard for people to be rational about politics, but we should try. During FDR's 1st 2 years, there were 59-61 members of the Senate Democratic caucus & ~315 in the House. In Obama's there were 58-60 in the Senate Democratic caucus & ~256 in the House. https://twitter.com/davidabenner/status/1320724865675104259

More important than simple numbers is that the ideological makeup of the Democratic Party was far different in the 1930s. The hard right southern Dems of the 30s were no longer Dems in 2009 & that congress was at least as liberal as the congress of 1933. https://twitter.com/davidabenner/status/1320724865675104259
