Talk about lowering the bar.

Even if this were true, the Great Society happened 40 years ago. That's 
quite a long time. Ever since then, the Democrats have not been 
responsible for anything vaguely resembling LBJ's social programs. In 
fact, Carter and Clinton took the lead in whittling away many New Deal 
type programs. And Obama has explicitly stated that the Clinton 
presidency is his model.
