Though Reagan had to contend with a Congress that was dominated by Democrats, the atmosphere was much more congenial and parliamentary. Democrats and Republicans worked together and there was some civility. It was when Newt Gingrich became Speaker that it all changed. Neither Clinton nor Obama enjoyed that level of civility, and it was largely due to Gingrich.
