Why Obama Should Learn the Lesson of 1936, not 1996

Robert Reich wrote, Why Obama Should Learn the Lesson of 1936, not 1996 "Which lesson will the President learn — that of Clinton in 1996, or FDR in 1936? The choice will determine his strategy over the next two years. Hopefully, he’ll find 1936 more relevant. Obama shouldn’t be fooled into thinking Bill Clinton was reelected in 1996 because he moved to the center. I was there. Clinton was reelected because by then the economy had come roaring back to life."
