President Obama is taking time out from his much-trumpeted "year of action" to observe a period more important to his Democratic allies in Congress: the season of campaigning.
One by one, the Obama administration is setting aside key priorities, in the hope that voters won't do the same to his fellow Democrats.
Immigration reform, once deemed a pressing back-to-school item, will wait at least until the winter holidays.
Enrollment in Obamacare will start six weeks later than last year. The climate will warm at the same rate, with new regulations pending.
The latest addition to the not-to-do list came this week, when the White House put off an announcement on the president's nominee for attorney general, a pick he has been privately thinking about a long time.
White House aides smile and defend the strategy, saying privately that they're trying to be sensitive to the concerns of Democrats, especially senators in tough election races.
The White House is trying to avoid being held responsible for Democrats losing control of the Senate in the midterm election in three weeks, especially when administration officials still hope to get a few things done during the final two years of Obama's presidency and will need help from Democrats who remain in office.
But the delays frustrate some of Obama's most reliable allies, who fear he is squandering what little time he has left to act on their biggest policy priorities.
"We wish they would be as good as their rhetoric," said Frank O'Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch. "We want them to step up and deliver. If they don't, who's going to?"
The delaying tactics, others said, could shake the relationships Democrats rely on.

Bruce Rauner says a push from the governor on members of Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform could motivate them to act on the issue.
Rauner says he's in favor on a comprehensive reform bill that includes a pathway to citizenship for those who are now illegal immigrants, though he hasn't specified what sort of pathway he would support. If he's elected governor, he promises he'll talk with members of Congress to try and get immigration legislation moving in Washington.
I know many of our representatives in Congress. I am very close and work closely with U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.). I've worked with (Sen.) Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and we know each other quite well, Rauner said. I will push our congressional delegation to push for comprehensive immigration reform.
Both Kirk and Durbin voted for the 2013 Senate immigration reform bill which has never been brought up for a vote in the House.
