It’s the ideology—that won’t change

In 2014 and 2016 many Democrats running for office claim they are not Obama. They will be running from the sluggish economy, from Obamacare increases coming in January, from the executive order that will come on immigration right after the election, from the IRS scandal, from snooping on journalists, from worsening relations with Israel, from the expanded wars in the middle east, from the rollout of Obamacare and the sign up mess, from the sloppy Secret Service mess, from the questions about Ebola. But Obama isn't a person as much as he's an ideology, one that many Democrats subscribe to. They too believe in a government too big to fail.
