The New York Times: Reports the following on the political relationship between the Obama White House and Congressional Democrats, " Mr. Obama finds himself frustrated by members of his own party weary of his leadership and increasingly willing to defy him. ".
Lets Get Real:
This is the other 2nd term curse folks, first you get a scandals, then the Congress and the people turn you off, Obama's political curses have come early folks, you have the scandal of the death of a US Ambassador in Libya and the reaction of the Obama Administration during that night, then the IRS going after Conservative groups, the Obama Justice Department going after the press and the National Security Agency bugging everyone in the US and the World. The sign that people are turning off is the fact that the Oval could not get the public to support US taking actin in Syria, in most 2nd terms the domestic side comes to end after the 1st year, the Congress just says NO, while on the international front the Oval should have more ways to move, but Obama has given Russia a VETO over his actions, thus the Oval is stalled on the home and international front, its only 9 months in to the 2nd term folks, its going to be a long three and half years for the Oval folks.
