Someone beat me to the Reggie Love joke...

Seriously, though, anyone who even remotely thinks the guy whose whole campaign boiled down to “Republicans are the devil!” and who shut out Republicans for the last four years is going to be Mr. Bipartisan all of a sudden is a complete idiot. Which means the liberals all do believe it.

Yes he does.

After 4 years, everyone knew exactly what Obama stood for:

1) a larger federal government
2) Keyneasin economic policies
3) government backed businesses
4) the federal government micro-managing entire industries
5) clean/green energy (and killing fossil fuels)
6) higher taxes on the rich and business
7) expanding government benefits

He was reelected with all that front and center.

On the other hand, the GOP-D is shell-shocked. Romney was their perfect candidate, and he lost. They are abandoning the idea that they can win with conservative ideas, and are already talking about moving to the left.

The result of this election is a political setup like they have in Europe:

1) a far left party (Democrat)
2) a “conservative” party that is slightly left of center (GOP).

As a practical matter, there will be no major “conservative” party in the USA, just a liberal and a very-liberal party.

I don’t know what to do, or what our answer should be, but we’ve got to start by facing reality. And, the reality is the Reagan revolution (at least at the federal level) died yesterday—and so did the GOP (they just don’t know it yet).

The BFN has no mandate, no conscience and a taste for revenge.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for him and Hillary to go at each others throats.

For whatever reason I am having a difficult time finding the national vote count. Any suggested websites?

I am interested because the term "mandate" implies strong popular support.

mandate, ARF, why because blacks voted in their masses due to their racism.
Because layabout lazy welfare, food stamp trash voted to keep their freebies coming.

Because th emedia ignored fast and furious, Libya, border agent being killed, solyndra, debt, unemployment, homosexual agenda, money wasted, and they were always bias and corrupt.

He;s got an agenda and to know what it is then read the commie papers of 1963, he;s already done half of that

President Obama sees voter mandate on taxes

Analysis: For Obama, a Mandate Only if He Now Earns One

New blame game in town - "I cannot get anything done with a GOP run obstructionist Congress, thus my use of Executive Orders" Harry Reid's Senate will never be mentioned and we will probably live without a budget for the entire 8 years. The question is - Will Boner allow the debt ceiling to be raised again? IMHO he has to or face the wrath of the media and we all know the GOP does not want to defend this in front of TV cameras, now that Obama has a mandate to raise taxes.

SINCE WHEN DOES A MANDATE MATTER TO A DICTATOR???

I heard them discussing this on Fox last night.

This is why we are losing. Eggheads are in the deep weeds fighting the last war, when Obama is invading Poland and Czechoslovakia, so to speak.

WAKE UP. IT’S A WHOLE NEW WORLD!!!

Having a "mandate" based on vote-margin is more of a courtesy, or matter of integrity, than a rule. To obama, as little as a one-vote victory is a mandate for him.

The power of the media is in his pocket, and is a formidable foe against the rest of us. This election will only empower them MSM crew and it's going to get a lot worse.

He might even - with enough MSM support and executive orders - get a THIRD term.

So, mandate, spandate...doesn't mean a thing in obama's world.

He doesn’t care if he has a mandate or not.
He won.

I don’t think it matters. Obama can now do most anything he wants, and he will.

We didn’t just lose an election, we lost relevance, we lost our country.

He has all the “mandate” he wants. He can now rule by fiat. He started openly using that power already and the congress did not object.Some Republicans objected to the purposes of the fiats but they did not object to the president’s right to use them. Ergo, thus and therefore the Constitution and Congress are no longer important parts of our system of government. They now exist only for formality and the illusion that the USA is still a republic. It is not. Analagous to the Romans, we have made the transition from Republic to Empire, or rather, to despotism that may turn out to be empire. This would be true, even if Romney had won. Once the presidency has used fiat successfully it becomes a part of the Presidency. The election passing without Fiat even being an issue of the election ensures that result.

He turned the election into a referendum on Big Bird. The only thing he has a mandate for is to save Big Bird.

If by mandate you mean he will cator to a small core of the population at the expense of everyone else then yes.

Of course he did. The GOP lost the White House and 2 senate seats. It’s all go for broke now.

Obama does have a mandate. The mandate is to divide the nation , bring about its fiscal destruction and its military failure.That mandate does not come from Americans, it comes from elsewhere.

America will rue the day it re-elected Obama. Now the real hurt begins.
