I have a question about a preposition used with the noun "*ambition*" [here](http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/05/us-usa-elections-idUSKBN0IO0C620141105):

> 
> The Republican takeover will force Obama to scale back his ***ambitions to*** either executive actions that do not require legislative approval, or items that might gain bipartisan support, such as trade agreements and tax reform. 
> 
> 
> 

When one have ambitions, it is usually "*ambitions* ***for***" something, not "*ambitions* ***to***" something. So, is the example passage wrong?
