Obama is like a rolling stone. When ya got nothing, ya got nothing to loose, according to Presidential historian. How does his imperial attitude play out in Alaska and lands legislation? Look for blow back on a permanent ban on drilling in the Arctic, National Monuments in the Tongass, and National Monuments all over the country--since he will hang fellow Dems in Congress out to dry. The Financial Times had this analysis: “He is going to do things the way he wants to do it. That is pretty much the attitude,” said William Daley, Mr Obama’s former chief of staff. “If you hesitate, and this is what a lot of people were critical of in his first few years – he was too cautious, too conservative, too unwilling to take a little risk – now I think that burden is off him.” The congressional midterm elections in November have only injected greater urgency into the US president’s timetable. The Republicans are in pole position to gain control of the Senate, and thus both chambers of Congress, and are prepared to make his final two years in office a misery. “He recognises the clock is ticking – he has to do things this way or face the fact that he may get nothing done at all,” said Tom Daschle, a former Democratic Senate leader who stays in close touch with the White House.
