lysias commented on the blog post Democrats Push Back Against Obama Budget As Republicans Take Advantage
The powers that be saw to it that Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, because they had seen how Bush I would not be able to get NAFTA through the then-Democratic Congress. So that was the mission given to Bill Clinton, and, as an added benefit to the powers that be, the result of his success in getting NAFTA approved was that the Republicans took the Congress.
The powers that be saw that Bush II in his second term was unable to privatize Social Security. So they saw to it that a Democrat was elected in 2008 that they thought would be able to initiate their plans about Social Security. Ever since, Obama has been trying to carry out that mission.

lysias commented on the blog post Bracing for the Impact of Hurricane Sandy on Election Day
Isn’t it just an Act of Congress that requires states to hold their voting to no later than Election Day? So Congress, by passing emergency legislation, could empower states to extend voting for a few days past Election Day. And President Obama has the power to summon Congress to an emergency session for that purpose.
