I believe Obama has reached one of two conclusions. He is a one term POTUS and does not care/fear any retribution for anything he says or does.
Or he has concluded he is unbeatable and could care/fear even less.

Telling the Russians to openly wait until after the election to use his "flexibility" (= no worry about the electorate any more and do what ever). Then when we the people gasp, he makes a joke of it. We the people in their fickle norm roll over and do nothing more....again.

Now stepping out of line, again, to threaten the Supreme Court justices and make his will known....or else?

His actions identify him as arrogant and unconcerned about anything other than his agenda. He continues to take liberties with the office of POTUS and the Constitution which he swore to uphold as a condition of office....unlike any POTUS before him.

His WH staff and support team and of course the ever present media all are geared to insulate him from wrong doing or criticism. Hence he becomes more arrogant with each passing test of the system he becomes more bold in his actions.

The man raises and or confirms doubts about his role and agenda each and every passing day.

We the people that fell for his charm the first time around should take heed of his performance before they head to the ballot box.

For those who happen to be not alarmed at his actions and performance or lack of performance, to be polite about it we can only conclude they have been charmed.
