"Legacy Competing with Lame Duckery"


       I heard that risible but thought-provoking characterization today of President Obama's situation for the remainder of his presidency.

       Obama will be focused on what he most wants to achieve and be remembered by before his second term ends; opponents will hone in on defeating and delaying, knowing the president cannot be re-elected.

       "Two powerful forces," says diplomat Aaron David Miller, "legacy competing with lame duckery."

    I believe his 2nd term will only firm up what some of us suspect already - his 1st term was self serving, thus his 2nd term will be a re-run!
