What is the liberal agenda? Presidents are just a figurehead that takes public flak, I'm not going to pretend they are all-powerful dictators. A liberal president will have a mostly liberal agenda, and a conservative president will have a mostly conservative agenda, and if they don't, they get zero support from their party and funders. The entire system is terrible, and Congress isn't going to do pomegranate to change it because they would be undermining their own authority and power by doing so.
Why does it matter what his agenda is, anyway? The fact of the matter is, he DID try to use the emotions of the public to get what he wanted in that press conference, just like he did in the first election with the hope and change nonsense, just like every other figurehead does. They may not even be aware of the fact that they are doing it at this point, that's how ingrained into them it has become.
