Obama's Solo Strategy To Pit GOP Anger vs. Democrat Zeal

Tries to win Congress by acting without it

With his new emphasis on creating government policy through executive fiat, President Obama is betting he will fire up his Democratic base more than he will infuriate Republican voters in this year’s midterm elections.

Democrats increasingly are abandoning their dream of winning back the House in November. Even Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said last week that she can’t “confidently predict” it. But the president needs Democrats to hold on to the Senate, where a swing of six seats would give Republicans control, to have any hope of achieving more of his policy goals and reshaping the judiciary during his final two years in office.

The presidential party historically loses congressional seats in the midterms, and Mr. Obama’s chances of defying that trend don’t look good. The troubled launch last year of Obamacare has Democrats on the defensive and Republicans re-energized.

Watch for Democrat corruption, intimidation and more Government interference in the upcoming election.
If Democrats can not win honestly they will cheat, lie and steal to maintain power.
They will stoop to every low, ANYTHING to advance their corrupt and perverted agenda.

And they have the media whose followers also believe they are justified to lie, cheat and steal in order to achieve their agenda.
