What Will Obama Do?

++Odds are he signs Keystone XL Pipeline in law.

++He will resist other measures aimed at gutting EPA.

++He will have to actually veto bills, which he has been reluctant to do in the past.

++While Mitt Romney promised that with an all GOP Congress,they would pass immigration reform, don't believe him. President Obama must use his executive powers to deal with immigration as promised.

++He will get his fast track on the TPP agreement and the free trade agreement with Europe.

++He will allow the law to be changed so that America can export oil and gas.

++He will have to protect Obamacare from the endless attempts to gut it. 

++Any positive change will happen by incidental acts like those of the past two years, things the GOP doesn't observe or pay attention to.

++The GOP Congress raises real risks of a return to recession. Democrats will have to be willing to use the filibuster like the Republicans have to obstruct policy.

++President Obama will get anything he wants for war but little for foreign aid. In fact, he will get more than he wants.

++To re-assert himself,President Obama has to come out with momentum because Mitch McConnell already wants to roll him in 100 days.
