To, you have a mandate working with the congress. As Lyndon Johnson said when he get oneresident, you year before they stop thinking about you and start thinking about themselves and their own reelection. In about january of your second year after you have done your year all the members of congress are thinking about their midterm election. Cautious about taking any risk. Tothe president was so eager get things done because this is the moment they will never have again. Are alsoare on they still not as experienced as they will be in for five years. This is why the first year is so. Mportant in setting the agenda i underestimate that. Coded jimmy carter, who is an outsider to that is why jimmy carter was elected.

Today, the president listed about 20 president ial orders that he says the media wont cover. We have covered them. And chip reid has found that not all of them are what they seem. I dont think there has ever been a president elected who in the short period of time has done what weve done. This administration is running like a finetuned machine.
