Democrats fear Obama could give in

Democrats fear Obama could give in-politico: Democrats have something else to fear after the November midterms besides just an all Republican-controlled Congress: President Barack Obama. With Obama’s political career winding down and poll numbers continuing to languish, his party brethren fret that their own president — forced to work with GOP majorities — would give away the store on key policy issues ranging from the budget to energy and trade. It’s a concern congressional Democrats have voiced every time Obama and Vice President Joe Biden tried to cut big fiscal deals with Republicans — and the panic is now more palpable with the growing prospect of a Senate GOP majority.
