johnson. and this tweet question -- guest: eisenhower did it. of course, he moved troops to desegregate. people forget that. abraham lincoln out to do was completed with a republican president. he did not go to congress for that action. host: can you think of any during the johnson administration when the bill passed? guest: in the johnson administration, what stands out is, johnson had come to the presidency as majority leader. he had this uncanny ability to work with members of congress. to me, the tragedy of lyndon johnson, on the domestic, he was so brilliant, but got it wrong in a war of attrition under the auspices of west and more land. he is crafting these coalitions with these republicans. it was a master class. that is why we felt obama should do that, which he tried with boehner, but back then, you did have more of an ability of the leaders of congress to take the party with them. today, on the republican side, that is open to question. --t: a view forom an e-mail guest: i agree on the last statement, not the first part, because of the way that you have to avoid that decline. we have a choice. we have a high roa

founded the nation pushing president lincoln or the labor unions pushing franklin roosevelt to be a bolder president or the civil rights movement with lyndon johnson, engaged, and hold politicians accountable to the higher ideals of this country. >> but on a personal level, has this president broken your heart at all? >> you know, i also wrote in this book i thought progressives needed to be as tough, clear-eyed and pragmatic about president obama as he is about us. so in a curious way, the book is a mix of both romantic but hard-edged and, you know, cold-eyed about the state of our politics and the belief that the country and our political system is hard wired to resist fundamental change that is requires for example the energy of the occupy wall street movement and the 99%, opening space for the sustained serious conversation we need in the media and this economy. in new hampshire yesterday, i thought it was a masterful weaving of the idea of rebuilding the american dream for the 99% through opportunity and security and smoking out republicans or the grinchs of this season as they block the jobs bill. >> he is doing enough in his job as the lead

investments like these, investments like what abraham lincoln did or what eisenhower did or franklin roosevelt did, investments that were led by lyndon baines johnson to educate our workforce, to retrain our workforce, to make sure every child had a good education in america, all of these, all of these helped people who were unemployed, helped them get jobs, helped them to become taxpayers. and it set the stage for economic growth in our country. so, to me, the most obvious and quickest way to dramatically wrap up our federal investments in infrastructure is to pass this jobs bill. the american society of civil engineers estimates that america faces a $2.2 trillion infrastructure backlog. bringing the u.s. infrastructure into the 21st century would rapidly create millions of private-sector jobs, especially in the hard-hit construction industry, while modernizing our arteries and veins of commerce. mr. president, there can be no economic recovery without robust forward-thinking investments to boost our competitiveness and put people back to work. this means to invest in education, innovation, the infrastructure in america. and it means restoring a l
