The author omits the most obvious reason Obama is pandering now instead of closer to the election: money. He can’t raise money if people don’t think he can (or should) win.
Six more months of campaign ads. Six more months of pandering.
NO one in history has ever been less qualified to be a leader, let alone the POTUS, as our current imposter in the white house.
The voters who elected this imbecile clown should hang their heads in shame.
“The Public Good” is just commie-speak to justify a nanny state. It is not a goal/function of the Federal Government. When the government stays out of the way, “public good” happens because the public takes care of itself. Dole was a lousy candidate, but I still remember him on the floor, talking down Hillary Care. He said, “It is not the function of government to do good, its role is to prevent harm”. That doesn’t mean to coddle one group over another, it means that laws will punish those who harm others and that certain regulations will prevent companies from being userers. To fulfil that role/function, the government muct remain limited as the Constitution insists.
