I think Obama knows his policies will fail, and he’s written off a second term in favor of pushing his agenda and getting as much of done as possible. A shrewd politician like Clinton woul curry favor from the opposition, give in a little, and make sure there would be enough success to point at during the next election cycle. But the way this administration is going the failure will come next year and he’ll be in the toilet by the next election.

I’m not sure I quite agree with this. I think he wants everything to pass quickly while he has a manufactured crisis underway. I think he fully expects to easily win a second term.
I think his plan is also likely to succed. He is going to ensure citizenship to the 10+M illegal aliens, who he thinks will all vote RAT/Marxist. He is also funding ACORN with our money to help ensure swing districts in swing states go heavily RAT through illegal means. I think he expects a second term is a given. He is just anxious because he has so much of America to undue and he might not have 60 senate votes after the mid-term.
