Divided Government
On pg. 194 of "Leadership and Influence..." the fact that LBJ was acting within a divided government (Republican President and Democratic Senate Majority) is seen as a positive because it "freed [him] of the obligation to shepherd a White House" agenda through the Senate. Is a divided government (either House/Executive or Senate/Executive) seen in the same light today?
