This clip is from the excellent 3 part documentary "The Elected:the Presidency and Congress". Few remember that Clinton also came into office having inherited a cratering economy, and he tried to get Republicans behind a stimulus package. The republicans blocked him from day one, and made no effort to work in a bipartisan manner. Obama has clearly learned something from history, but he shouldn't be surprised that republicans put their Party's interests ahead of the country's.
