To answer his question, in my opinion the President's only objective for his second term is reelection. Period! He wants to get reelected and hope he gets more influence over Congress so he can push whatever left agenda spins off.
The man has been campaigning since he took office and has a massive war chest. They used to say something similar about the NY Yankees, he is the best President money can buy. He is also comforted in knowing that all of the far left and much of the left of center will vote for him no matter what.
