Reverse evolution of Democratic Presidents

Of the last few modern Democratic presidents, it sure seems to me like each is more conservative than his predecessor.

LBJ? Set aside ’Nam, and he’s clearly a liberal.

Carter? Semi-liberal, and probably more so, in some ways, than the majority of the Congress he couldn’t work with.

Clinton? DLC Democrat, long before taking hits from the crack pipe of Dick Morris’ “triangulation.”

Obama? Jury so far says, latching on to most of Bush’s “presidentialism” power grab, and in the hip pocket of Big Finance.
