Beware the wounded lame duck

Obama may be a lame duck, but -like a wounded bull- is still capable of causing much damage with his executive orders.

Hillary's early start produces unintended consequences, including for Obama   ...."Don’t get us wrong: The Democratic Party is still Obama’s party, and there is unity for most of his agenda. But some are beginning to cast a wayward glance at Hillary Clinton. That has an impact. The last thing the president needs is for HIS political arm (OFA) to be competing with Clinton for resources, and we’re not just talking about financial resources."....

NBC's Chuck Todd thinks she may be intensifying Obama's lame duck status  by launching into her campaign so early, marginalizing Obama sooner than necessary. 
 
Is Obama Already a Lame Duck?  " It’s been a bad summer for the Obama administration. At home, the president’s negligible legislative agenda remains stalled as his incessant attempts to demonize Republicans have poisoned efforts to find common ground on even those areas where large elements of both parties might work together. Even Democrats consider the rollout of ObamaCare to be a “train wreck”.... A late spring of scandals ... has given way to a summer of paranoia about the National Security Agency that the president has proven incapable or unwilling to address."
