Eleanor Clift urges Obama to get in touch with his inner LBJ and get health care reform passed before his window of opportunity closes. Hate to say it, Eleanor, but here is where hiring a guy with some executive experience might have come in handy. I doubt Obama has an inner LBJ to get in touch with. This is an LBJ moment where Obama's legislative skills will be tested. Just as Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law along with sweeping civil-rights legislation in the window that was open to him after the assassination of President Kennedy, Obama's standing in the country is high enough that he can still ride the wave of the election that swept him into office. The steadily increasing number of people without jobs and health insurance is scary and their cry for change will only grow louder. The true unemployment rate is probably twice what the government records as people get discouraged and fall from the statistics. newsweek.com
