I mean to me he is. Putting republicans in the defensive and forcing them to either play ball or **** off a LARGE chunk of America. He is pushing for workers rights,tax breaks for middle class,raising min wage,healthcare for the poor,diplomacy over war,He is staying away from guns,abortion etc and the SC is going to settle the homosexual marriage deal...if Republicans refuse to help the middle class and WORKING PEOPLE...they could well put themselves in a deep hole come 2016...Usually working class and middle class folks vote republican..they will remember if republicans put the rich over them.
According to you, but it's really just more of what just got him and his cronies beaten in the last election.
I am sure that if Congress sends the POTUS a "clean bill" that will increase jobs, strengthen our economy, or support the middle class, Obama will sign it into law immediately.
However, something tells me that the GOP will pass a bill that attaches something totally unrelated to it such as repeal of the ACA or some other issue that will be a non-starter. Then the GOP will say, "look! Obama refuses to help the middle class!" The GOP is so predictable and transparent.
This is exactly what I expect to see from this Republican Congress. Nothing will make it to the president's desk that he will want to sign, and it will be done that way by design. The GOP will thus achieve their goal of making certain nothing gets passed while Obama is in the White House.
The difference is now they won't have the Democratic Senate to use as a scapegoat. And the electorate will see exactly what the definition of a do nothing Congress is. They'll have a great record of having accomplished nothing on which to run in 2016.
He is just pushing his failed policies that have destroyed much of the middle class by putting more people on transferred wealth instead of earned wealth with added GDP. The bottom is always the bottom no matter the amount as far as wealth goes.When you have fewer and fewer creating national wealth that is the end by the means.

You think if Republicans don't back help for the middle class,paid leave for sick or pregnant folks,raising min wage that voters that want these things will back them next year? I don't. Especially the paid sick leave thing because that ONLY harms workers if its not passed.
I'm telling you...the Republicans are gonna have a rough 2 years coming up without having a veto proof majority. And they can't politically withstand a reputation as a do nothing congress. They've GOT to pass something that Obama will sign.
That's why I like Republicans taking the Senate back...so long as they don't have enough people to override a veto.
The fun fact will be watching right wingers try to figure out who to blame in the Senate when bills continue to be stalled for not having a filibuster proof majority. It was easy for them to blame Reid for stalling all those bills, but now they can't do that without looking like hypocrites that don't hold their own party accountable.

Not really. He just wants to raise more taxes. Remember, a lot of us voted against his policies in November, as they were practically on the ballot.

President Obama aside, I think the Democrats are going to win big(win presidency, regain control of Senate, pick up seats in the House, pick up stares as Governor), but that will mostly be due to voter turnout.
Probably 40-50million more people will vote in 2016 than in 2014.

You are right about one thing: Obama has put partisan politics ahead of actually governing.
Oh and I forgot he is trying to help young folks and old alike in helping get an education as long as you work for it...
His plan will really be a critical part of our return to prosperity. It essentially cuts the costs of a college education in half for any person ambitious enough to attend college, and will leave an entire generation of new engineers, educators, doctors, artisans and business people without a crushing debt that has to be paid off before they can finally become financially secure and successful.
There are always more good students than there are scholarships. His plan allows all of them to make the best of their lives with an early start. It will also enable all the adults who have yearned for more education all their lives to finally achieve their dream as well.
The timing couldn't be better.
