A Smart Democrat

Ted Van Dyk served Democratic presidents and campaigns over a lifetime in politics and administration. Here he writes for The Wall Street Journal a sad apology for the current state of Democratic governance.

Van Dyk compares the governing styles of Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton to that of Obama, and Obama comes up wanting. They did at least some bipartisan governing, Obama has not.  In Van Dyk's view, those earlier Democratic presidents experienced successes while Obama has not. It's an interesting column.
