He doesn't have any more elections coming up, so he has no more Independents or swing voters to win over. Obama can go all out and finally throw support behind more liberal policies. And if he wanted to try to end the Drug War, he could do that without having to worry about anti-marijuana interest groups burying him in attack ads. The end of the Drug War alone would really help with the deficit.
