If you think about it, crisis mode is just one way the Prez practices misdirection. The Dems are backing away from Obama whose popularity is diminishing because, there is no other way to say it, he is a f***k up. Lets see if the jobless "recovery" from the Great Recession can be ignored if Obama leads a crusade as leader of the middle class recovery.
Since day one Obama has been playing politics. He has one speech that he keeps rewriting over and over. During his campaign and six years later he's still "defending" the middle class. He's just worried that the shrinking middle class (to which he was a big contributor) won't be able to fund all his give-away programs and put back all the billions of dollars he has wasted. The middle class was on a slow decline starting with Clinton, but when it reached Obama, he put his foot to the pedal and accelerated the decline. All Obama has focused on since taking office is creating/expanding/funding government agencies that has done nothing for America. An inflated stock market propped up by the government has been a band aid for the economy. When they pull that band aid off, that cut will hemorrhage.
