Obama’s Moves Defying Label of Lame Duck (NY SLIMES to the Rescue)
NYSLIMES ^ | Nov. 13, 2014 | PETER BAKER and JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

WASHINGTON — President Obama emerged from last week’s midterm election rejected by voters, hobbled politically and doomed to a final two years in office suffering from early lame-duck syndrome. That, at least, was the consensus in both parties. No one seems to have told Mr. Obama.

In the 10 days since “we got beat,” as he put it, by Republicans who captured the Senate and bolstered control over the House, Mr. Obama has flexed his muscles on immigration, climate change and the Internet, demonstrating that he still aspires to enact sweeping policies that could help define his legacy.

A "legacy" that no normal person would want.

Oh Yeah?

Congress can gut the budget for his resort to executive orders.

Let’s see what federal agencies will do if there is no money to implement his legacy.

Bring it on.

Obama’s moves are suggesting a label of mental illness. How else to explain the bizarre America-punishing global warming agreement with the Chinese, the attempt to takeover the internet, the Berghdal swap etc., etc. He’s acting erratically and against the interests of the citizens. He seems angry at the “stupid Americans” and wants them to pay.

If you’re willing to be lawless you can do a lot of things the lawful won’t do.

Did you notice how they tried to make this a George W Bush connection??

Although they do not present it this way, in some ways Mr. Obama and his aides are taking a page from President George W. Bush’s playbook after his own “thumping” in his final midterm elections. Instead of pulling out of the deteriorating war in Iraq, as Democrats interpreted Mr. Bush’s election mandate, he sent more troops. Democrats like Mr. Obama, then a senator, accused the president of defying the voters. In the end, the reinforcements and a strategy change helped turn around the war.

LOL. The Slimes....oh so anxious to help Obamugabe destroy America.

His “Legacy” is that he FU*KED this Country and tried to burn itto the ground because it dissed him. The people who will be most affected are Black Americans that swallowed this muslim BSr’s shite and lose what little jobs they had to illegal immigrants.
