President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech this week was a sign that he’s taking a firm stand. It was less about collaboration and compromise and more about a definite liberal vision for the U.S., particularly in the areas of gay rights and global warming.

Scarborough says “there is no competent Republican Party or conservative leader with the standing required to effectively fight his agenda.”
But how will Obama’s decisions play out in the 2014 midterm election?Â
