Keystone may be dead in the water, but if he wanted to poke at the Republicans some more about infrastructure, he's got it. Over the next few months internal developments will be a big talking point. If Obama wanted to do all that you were discussing, I think he would have picked another target instead of what amounts to being merely an extensive scholarship for people going to college.
Obama continues to bedevil the GOP since the election, as you've already seen with the lame duck.
Boehner had 67 GOPs vote against him on the cromnibus and 25 more on his Speakership.
And then he had his Grimm problem and still has his Scalise problem.
So Obama's doing what he does best--get out of DC and use the bully pulpit.
Though I agree he should have waited on the veto threat.
Instead he should have said he would trust McConnell on the open amendment process .
