Obama plans to campaign hard, with legacy on his mind

Expect to see a whole lot of President Barack Obama this campaign season as he works to spell out what he sees as the stakes in the 2016 election and tries to defend his legacy.

As he approaches the end of his term in the midst of an election year that has been defined by heated, often controversial rhetoric coming from the leading Republican candidates, like GOP front-runner Donald Trump, the President is vowing to do all he can to make sure a Democrat replaces him at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He also wants to retake the Senate and win more seats in the House of Representatives.

"The President has been clear that as we get closer to the general election, it will become even more important that the American people understand what is at stake," said White House Deputy Press Secretary Jennifer Friedman. "Do we continue to build on the policies that reward hard-working American families, advance our economic and national security, and address challenges for future generations, or do we stop in our tracks, reverse our progress and move in the wrong direction? This is a choice that the President does not take lightly, and is something he will lay out for the American people with increased frequency in the weeks and months ahead."

While I know it isn’t possible, I have for years wanted the Obama Administration to be the first control-alt-delete presidency. But the principle of easy come, easy go applies to Obama. He didn’t want to bother with building a consensus to implement his policies; instead he chose the pen and phone approach which has a much shorter shelf life. That legacy is almost as easily wiped out as built. I hope the next president knows how to wield a pen and eraser.

Is it possible that 0 is behind all the anti-Trump agitation that is fermenting on the left as well as the continuing Hillery mess so as to cause so much disorder to call off the election until things have “simmered” down?
I know it's a stretch.
But when you think about it, would you put it past him?
