    Forty four years ago this year, Lyndon Baines Johnson traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to deliver a speech that outlined the vision that would guide his administration. The speech may be read profitably today. Barack Obama has evoked "change" and "hope" while denying he is a liberal. Yet Obama's supporters expect his administration will become the third stage of Progressivism, the two earlier being the New Deal and the Great Society.

    In 1965, democrats held more than two-thirds of both chambers of Congress. As LBJ said on his inaugural night, "We can pass it all now." Democrats may gain seats in Congress this year, but they will not have the same majorities LBJ had. President Obama will not say "We can pass it all now."
