Does Obama putting his agenda on hold have anything to do with the upcoming election?

Dodd Frank rules, delayed temporarily. Some EPA job killing rules, delayed temporarily. No chatter about cap and trade. Strangely, all of the social justicey, hopey changey Obama agenda has suddenly gone silent. Could it possibly have anything to do with Obama gearing up one more time to convince the so-called "independents" that he is a so-called "centrist"? Probably just a coincidence, don't you think? I mean, a guy like Obama would never put his agenda on hold to get elected, only to unleash it once more... would he?
