A Lame Duck President?

It seems like President Obama never got the message when told his Presidency would enter lame duck status during his final two years.
In fact, he seems to be revitalized by freedom from worrying about the election of other Democrats during this period. And the race for 2016 definitely isn’t slowing him down.
Of course, the piece de resistance during his new-found vigor involves his sweeping executive order about immigration, effecting up to five million people who have been living in the shadows until now.
And sweeping environmental regulations are due to take effect soon as well. The agreement with China obligated the United States to begin the arduous process of getting rid of our addiction to oil and gas.
