WASHINGTON: President Obama is now truly a lame duck | White House | McClatchy DC
McClatchy Washington BureauNovember 4, 2014
WASHINGTON — Now, President Barack Obama limps into his final two years in office.
All second-term presidents lose considerable clout at this mark. But Obama’s time as a lame duck comes amid a political climate so fractured that compromise between Congress and him is all but impossible. And the likely Republican takeover of the Senate only further complicates his power to confront a confounding array of foreign and domestic policy challenges.
The range of crises is daunting.
Though the U.S. economy is growing at a healthy clip, wages are stagnant and the global economy is faltering. The Islamic State group has racked up victories in Iraq and Syria, testing the administration’s policies, even as the U.S. rains down airstrikes. The appearance of the deadly Ebola virus in the United States has rattled Americans and raised questions about whether a weary White House can handle several crises at once. A budget deal that bought peace with Congress for a while is nearing its end.
Against that backdrop, Obama will head to Asia and Australia next week for summit meetings, even as the old Congress returns to Washington for its own lame-duck session to finish work on the budget and other issues. And a new Senate looms over the horizon, likely Republican-led.
Obama will make one move without Congress.
