There are plenty of funny (and often quite crude) items at The Oatmeal.

The New Republic says he delayed this because it would start a war on K street.

Thanks Mike for your reply. He is over cautious. I wonder if the party asked him not to make any stands on liberal issues until after the election? He hasn't had the experience in campaigning like so many of the career congress critters so he backed off when he really needed to just plow ahead.

I don't know if its lack of political courage. I sometimes wonder if Obama has any strong beliefs about any issue. Is there any issue that he cares enough about the outcome to go to the mat for his preferred policy? I don't think so. The base is beyond angry with him. They've gone through that. Now many are so disillusioned as to be disengaged from him. The criticisms I've been reading from the left after this election seem almost calm, resigned. This is just a ploy to win back a bit of the base that cares deeply about net neutrality. How can the left critique him over the midterms when he comes down clearly on their side on such an important issue to them. Had the democrats kept the senate I doubt Obama would have made that statement. I'm not saying he lied for political reasons. I just don't think he really cares either way about the issue.

Same reason he didn't

Same reason he didn't announce immigration policy changes before the election and why he tried to avoid same-sex marriage until Biden put him on the hot seat. Obama will not be remembered for his political courage.
