Don't think for one minute that Barack Obama wouldn't like to have complete control of the government. He said as much in his speech last night vowing to take action with or without Congress. But to make the point even more emphatically he gave a shout out to Democrat Steve Beshear in Mitch McConnell's home state.
Mitch has been the single most effective check on a runaway Obama administration and anything the president can do to elevate Kentucky democrats in his effort to defeat McConnell and replace him with Alison Lundergan Grimes, who the FLOTUS has already dubbed "a reliable vote" for their plans to fundamentally transform America, he's going to do.
I mean come on, you don't really think that patting Beshear on the head was a sincere gesture of accomplishment now do you? Beshear did fall in line right behind Obama on the socialized medicine plan, but spreading favor to Kentucky has much more to do with helping clear the field for his next three years than raising the political capital of a lame duck governor.
Pay attention folks. The president wants complete control and he won't get it as long as we have Mitch in office. Like it or not, no one else on the R side or the D side of the ticket can possibly be as effective, and that's just a fact.
