The Obama Budget and Congress

The Hill: Reports that the Obama Budget does not have the votes to Pass in the Senate. The President has to recall that Senators want to be there after Obama has gone, if he serves one or two terms as President. They have to go home, they have to gain support of the players in their states. They are not going to go down in flames to help the President, Presidential Approval ratings go up and down. Is Obama in the league of Reagan and Clinton in their mastery of Congress, or is he another Jimmy Carter, who thought he didn't have to deal with Congress and could push his Agenda through no matter what, Carter is seen as a failed Presidency due to his failure to master Congress.
