Clinton's tax increase was straight party line, with Gore breaking a tie in the Senate. All else follows from that.

<<Not true in Clinton's case. He and the Pubs reformed welfare together (and Clinton took a lot of heat from the left on this) and compromised on budgets.>> Clinton passed his budget with not one Republcian vote and the Republicans said it would be a disaster. <<True in FDR's case, but he had electoral mandates and a dire crisis blowing in his political sails.>> So did Obama.
