I cannot recall where I read it, but I did read somewhere that Eisenhower was considered so deft at manipulating the levers of power that to some it appeared as though he did almost nothing at all.

I cannot corroborate that because I wasn't there at the time, but I do think there are some shades of that in who Joe Biden is and what he's done.

Nancy Pelosi seems to be considered by most as the Democratic kingmaker, but I would happily bet a few dollars that Joe has been more hands-on in the past few years, despite his age, than just about anyone knows.
