It's been reported that President Obama's goal is to help Democrats retake the House in 2014.
If so, he's picked a strange way to go about it. Pushing gun control right out of the chute isn't likely to do much to persuade voters who elected Republican congressmen even in the midst of the 2012 campaign to switch to a Democrat. In fact, it's more likely to imperil Democratic senators in places like Alaska, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Montana and South Dakota.
Obama obviously was feeling his oats with an inaugural speech tickling the fancy of every lefty within hearing...










A Bridge Too Far?
