The Next Two Years

The big question for the second half of Obama's term as president is how he is going to change his politics. This last year President Obama had very little to do with the Republicans since he had a majority in both houses he did not need to make anything bipartisan. Now it will be interesting to see if he will move towards the middle like Clinton did after his first midterm in 1994. I think the Tea Party is going to be his biggest challenge, especially after he still underestimates them. He said that his "shellacking" was because people were unhappy with the economy, which is true, but 40% of Americans said that they agree with the Tea Party. This shows that people are not just tired of the economy, but government in general.
