Is a mutiny happening around President Obama? It appears possible that the president may not have made two of his most recent decisions with complete free will. The announcement that he would delay his immigration initiative until after the election and his formal announcement that the United States would take military action against the Islamic State could have been coerced.
Maybe Democratic leaders in Congress and a few members of the Obama team have had it. Could it be that, after President Obama briefed Democrats in Congress on the immigration plan, they balked? Maybe the president was told that, if he waved in millions of new illegal immigrants before November, there would be an open revolt against him within the party.
Similarly, a few members of this administration who have independence, stature and an adult disposition may have told the president he must act on the Islamic State or else they were out. I’m thinking of at least Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Is it possible they could not stomach doing nothing any longer and told the president that they would quit in protest if he did not take action?

He could care less about ISIS but he was told he better start at least pretending
Yes, I actually read somewhere (I think it was the Washington Post, believe it or not) that he had been told that the Dems basically told him to support this or they would support his impeachment. They’re desperate.
My translation is various Democrats are mightily pissed at Obama because his detached lifestyle hurts their re-election chances. If not for an upcoming election most would not care.
No one every leaves DC these days. Its a boom town and no elected Democrat wants to get the boot from “heaven”. Factor in wives who are addicted to the opulent kiss-ass DC lifestyle....You can have divorces if the Dem loses his elective office.
I am sure every Senators and Reps wife gets their arse kissed at spas, hairdressers, etc. There are always tables available for them at the hottest restaurants etc
We take the Senate? Looks OK. But, doesn't look all that much of a surething, slam-dunk to me. Then what happens?

Re-play of Nixon 1974 after “Universe Shattering” evidence comes out!
I think the “tipping point” is here after the election.
The GOP, the Dems and the Media/Financial/Academic/Military Crony Industrial Complex are all dying for any excuse to save the nation from Barry, IMO!
Impeachment is coming post mid-term elections. It will put the surviving dems on record for either standing for justice and rule of law or for standing with party. From Messiah to Massacre.
Remember...Nixon was never actually impeached. He only had articles of impeachment drawn up against him, IIRC.
“Nixon Articles of Impeachment - Three Articles of Impeachment were drawn against Richard Nixon in response to the Watergate scandal and cover up. In July of 1974 the House Judicial Committee approved the articles to move forward to a full vote on the House floor to impeach President Nixon. Nixon resigned from the Presidency before the vote was cast and was never officially impeached. Nixon is the only President in American History to resign from office. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are the only Presidential impeachment by congress in American History.”
