Although President Obama has promised to use "pen and phone" to work around an uncooperative Congress on key priorities, such as immigration reform, the administration is delaying action before the midterm election. (Olivier Douliery, European Pressphoto Agency)

President Obama is taking time out from his much-trumpeted "year of action" to observe a period more important to his Democratic allies in Congress: the season of campaigning.

One by one, the Obama administration is setting aside key priorities, in the hope that voters won't do the same to his fellow Democrats.

Immigration reform, once deemed a pressing back-to-school item, will wait at least until the winter holidays.

Enrollment in Obamacare will start six weeks later than last year. The climate will warm at the same rate, with new regulations pending.

The latest addition to the not-to-do list came this week, when the White House put off an announcement on the president's nominee for attorney general, a pick he has been privately thinking about a long time.

We live in 'interesting' times, for sure.

The investigation of Bowe Bergdahl is complete, but they won't announce the results until after the elections.  Too many of the Dems backed Obama on swapping 5 terrorists for a traitor.

Well, we all know WHY he's placing these on hold. My comment is more about how "key" these priorities are. Seems to me, if "key" priorities can be placed on hold for politics. then your real key priority is POLITICS. I'm not going to wait for someone in the MSM to latch onto this, they've willingly blinded themselves, again for POLITICS.

In stark contrast to the Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi case.
owebuma couldn't figure out how to give Mexico 5 of the worst jihadist terrorists in the world in trade.
