Not by himself, no. But a president with a mandate of the people has an incredible amount of clout to push things through. Reagan got a lot accomplished because he had a clear mandate. If Obama has the support of the people he can get things done. Unless the Republicans in Congress decide to carry on with partisan politics instead of serving their constituencies.
