Obama Plans to Strong Arm Congress

If nothing else, things should get interesting in the coming months. While most Americans disapprove of Obama’s handling of just about everything, he has no intention of dialing down his leftist agenda. In fact, he plans to put more pressure on Congress to get things done.

Politico: Aides say that with the momentum from the most complex domestic bill to pass Congress in 45 years, Obama now will push Congress to close campaign-finance loopholes opened by the Citizens United case, adopt his overhaul of the No Child Left Behind education bill, and perhaps even tackle a clean-energy bill.

“He goes into these into these negotiations, and into these legislative battles, with a stronger hand because people understand that he’s going to fight for what he believes in,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said in an interview. “Congress proved to itself that it’s well within their power to do the big things that’ll bring about the type of change that they were elected to bring.”

I’m sure Pelosi and Reid will be on board with him and his agenda, but keeping their caucus in check may prove to an uphill battle. Continuing to inflame the electorate and divide the country is not a good idea in an election year.
