An Obama with Nothing to Lose
Dr. J.’s WSJ sweetheart wrote this column last week. Reading it should be enough to get any freedom loving American out to vote:
Just as important are the things Mr. Obama will not do. His record gives no indication he will revive America’s leadership in free trade. Nor is he likely to restore America’s influence in the international arena. And so we will inch closer to a nuclear-armed Iran and the threats that the regime will pose to international peace and order.
None of this is hyperbole. Mr. Obama is open about his tax aims, is proud of his spending and has never apologized for his regulatory ambitions. Despite a shellacking in the midterms, he moved left, and a November victory will reinforce his sense that he was correct to do so.
In other words, a President who’s taken one step backwards occasionally while waiting to move two steps forward to achieve his goals will push harder in a second term where has has nothing to worry about, including the prospects of his VP candidate’s run in 2016.
President Obama has a vision for America and has how qualms about doing whatever he can as the chief executive to achieve his goals. Congress has been loath to fight him too hard when he over reaches out of fear of backlash against them for being even an appropriate check and balance.
Enjoy.
