Doesn't mean he won't try.
Correct that Constitutionally states make the rules and govern their own elections, but the date has been set by Federal law since 1845.
Not sure about that.
Article II: “The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.”
There is a presidential election date defined by Congress:

http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/2/essays/81/presidential-vote: “Congress has exercised this authority to set a uniform day (the Tuesday after the first Monday in November) for states to appoint electors.”
Why on earth would he try?
What is possibly in for Obama to cancel the elections? Jesus, people. This crap is so silly.
Here's what Barack Obama is going to do. He will leave the White House peacefully on January 20th. He won't pilfer the china or silverware. He's actually above that. In the next couple of years, he'll get his wife elected Senator in a safe blue state, create a slush fund disguised as a charitable organization to sell political influence, and become wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. A dozen or so years down the road, Michelle will campaign as the United States' first African-American female president.
He's learned from the best.
