On taking office in 1981 Reagan had a slim majority in the Senate but the Democrats controlled the House. This is the mirror image of the predicament that Mr Obama is having to confront only now, after two luxurious years of having a majority in both chambers. Like Mr Obama, Reagan inherited an economy in greater distress than America had experienced since the 1930s. More than 7% of workers were unemployed and inflation was north of 12%. But by the time he and Nancy retired to Bel Air in January 1989, the man known as the Gipper (after an early role in Hollywood) was basking in an approval rating of 64%, the highest of any departing president since Franklin Roosevelt.
