The Post reports that almost immediately after his re-election, Obama began working behind the scenes to win back the lower chamber and attempt to secure his legacy. The plan, the paper suggests, is to nationalize the 2014 race around issues which have popular public appeal — gun control, immigration reform, the minimum wage, climate change and others — but little chance of moving through the House.
Obama used his State of the Union to begin to build support for his agenda, and has continued in campaign mode over recent weeks to illustrate the effects of the sequester cuts on the economy. The Post says he’ll continue to voice his frustration that popular legislation can’t move through the House.
“This approach marks a significant shift in the way Obama has worked with a divided Congress,” the Post claims. “He has compromised and badgered, but rarely — and never so early — campaigned to change its composition.”
And to insure that everything is in motion and/or accomplished so that he can run for a third term ..... and more. In my opinion ..... the country is his.always thinking
