United States: bye-bye, Obama!

Consequence of his severe electoral defeat in mid-term a president forced to live with his opponents and shunned by his own camp.
It remains about 730 days before the US presidential election. Forever when we lost most of its levers to govern both legislative chambers have majorities opposition and the party that you elect has already abandoned to look through the eyes of one who aspires to Chimene you succeed Hillary Clinton. In short, Obama has virtually lost power and lost the hand.

To be convinced, one has only to look at what happened two months ago when the Democratic candidates in the Senate or the House of Representatives were campaigning to get elected or re-elected. Very few of them wanted to come and support Barack Obama, as he has been invited in thirty meetings. And in states where the Democratic Party was not likely a priori much. At the same time, Hillary Clinton was claimed where the election was going to be tight, such as Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida and North Carolina. She made 42 appearances as well. And Bill, her husband, a real rock star of the party, even more, since he chaired 53 meetings in 54 days.
However, economically, compared to many countries, particularly in Europe, the United States off again: a significant increase in growth, a stock that is doing the best, unemployment steadily declining. America gives the feeling of being distributed at a steady pace. Yet every newspaper across the Atlantic the point: the main reason for the victory of the Republicans is that the Americans do not feel that their country has the wind in its sails, as was the case of time Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton. Average incomes no longer progressing, or very little. It is the richest who profited from the recovery. And for the middle class, not to mention the left-nots, pessimism about the future is required, and with it, the American Dream has disappeared for two-thirds of voters, their children will live less well than they -Same. According to a survey in the exit polls, 45% of voters cited the economy as the main concern that guided their choice. Before immigration, reform health care, gun control, or the foreign policy accounted for only 13% of citizens in the decision.

The problem for Obama is that within two years he has left by the end of his term, there is little chance he manages to give his countrymen the optimism that has failed to inspire them when he had a free hand. Indeed, it will now have to live in cohabitation with a hostile Congress that he will present legislation on which he will be tempted to exercise the veto power given to it by the Constitution. Suffice to say that America may make on-site until November 2016.

Unless Republicans calculate that put the country on the pause mode for two years could be the best gift they could do to Hillary Clinton. It is doubtful that the disenchantment expressed by voters to Barack Obama is a rallying Republican camp not completely rid of excess populist Tea Party followers. To accept the new majority to cooperate with the White House might be tactically clever. This is the only opportunity for Obama to complete his term better than expected.
