Obama Moving Quickly On His Agenda
Two recent items from the
Washington Times:
1.
Gun ban back on Obama’s agenda:
That didn't take long. Less than a day after President Obama's re-election, the administration breathed new life into the United Nations' previously comatose treaty regulating guns.
Last July, the U.N. General Assembly began formal discussion of the Arms Trade Treaty, which seeks to establish "common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms."

Green-energy and environmental groups said Wednesday that they were buoyed by the president's re-election and that they think it will kick off another chapter for clean energy in America. Mr. Obama's previous attempt to tackle carbon emissions, the ill-fated and unpopular "cap-and-trade bill," died in the Democrat-dominated Congress during Mr. Obama's first two years in office, but many of the president's supporters see his re-election as an opportunity to resurrect it....

The above two items are just the beginning of the Obama Agenda. In his 2012 victory speech, he uttered, "The best is yet to come."
We're about to discover what he means by the best, and the meaning will become clear with great alacrity!
