President Barack Obama will never again have to face voters. Nothing he does will have to be calibrated for how it plays in swing states or with Independent voters. He is now governing solely for his own legacy. This is one reason I so opposed his reelection. Given his left-ward lunge in his first term, I shuddered to think where he would go in his second. An article today in Obama fan-zine Buzzfeed confirms my fears.
“I’m hopeful,” said Slama. “He’ll try to play to the middle, but he’s got the Tea Party to deal with, and he can take out his baseball bat and wail away and he won't have to worry about the implications of reelection.”
The "moderate" era of Obama is over. The progressive era begins today.

Exactly. He does NOT respect the separation of powers, and since we don’t have the Senate, and we do have “Let’s Make A Deal’ John Boehner, it’s gonna be a wild ride right into the dirt.
Yep. Change is a comin’, like a runaway freight train.
Obama’s going to ram through so many Executive Orders, that he’s going to need a brace for the carpal tunnel. Now the real fun starts....
I’ll add that he will never see himself as a lame duck at any point. He will wield the Executive Order like a chainsaw.
I’m sure glad so many Christians wouldn’t vote for Mitt.
He was encumbered before?
Which news agency , other than Fox , exposed anything he ever did?
52% of the US are so gone that Obama could nuke Kansas and not one of them would care.
Are those percentages known?
I’ll add that he will never see himself as a lame duck at any point. He will wield the Executive Order like a chainsaw.
With the full blessing of donks in Congress. They will happily yield/give their Constitutional powers to obama.
they may never get a chance to vote again
I don’t buy that at all. You don’t know who voted and who did not. You don’t know how many votes were “shredded” by those electronic voting machines.
You just want to blame someone and your personal bigotry shines through.
Predictions?
I’ll make a couple.
- A new oil cartel will emerge in the Middle East made up of the new terrorist Islamic fundamentalist nations representing a significant change in the OPEC guard.It will become very obvious to all that every drum of oil the U.S. buys adds to the power of a significant threat against the U.S.
- New taxes will fuel new spending, not reduce the debt or the deficit. Interest on the debt will become a major national focus as a major problem making daily headlines.
- FreeRepublic will end fund raising drives because every FReeper has signed up as a monthly contributor.
No. I bet just as many moderates, secular and liberaltarians stayed home or went third party as Christians or any other group.
His EPA has just taken a new mega-dose of steroids.
trust the Lord. remember Lot. remember Job.
They are dead....and soon many of us may join them when the debt
fueled spending binge produces the economic armageddon.
Nah, just had a run in with someone with a Bible based name who was very proud of not voting for Mitt because:
He governed to the left of Bill Clinton.And my snarky comment was directed at him/her/it and ilk.He was and is culture of death.
“Squeaky clean” is more than a peck-and-sniff monitor’s list of Things To Not Do.
He is a backstabber.
He is a liar.
He is weak, so weak he was punked by lil’ Barry Obama.
“Massachusetts Moderate” did not even sell in benighted Massachusetts.
Although, now that you mention it, it was an Old Testament screen name...
You know there’s two sides to this coin.
We know the man is not up to the job, and for 4 years he apologized, appeased, and bought his time from Putin and the Mulahs to get through his first 4 years relatively UNTESTED.
Now the note has come due.
We have Russian subs cruising our coast lines and the Arabs are demanding paybacks and concessions not even 24 hours after the election.
Businesses have been holding back on shutdowns and layoffs in anticipation of a more business friendly change of leadership.
And on top of all of this we have a narcissistic prideful little child getting ready to face a major international crisis with absolutely no testicular fortitude to fulfill his duties as commander in chief. Bengazhi was proof of that.
I said a long time ago that a LOT of people are going to have to die before our elected representatives find the courage to remove Obama from office. I was hopeful this election that I would be proven wrong. What idiots our republican leaders were thinking that they could ignore their duties and depend upon we the people to do their job for them. Now the ball is back in their court, and we will pay the price for their incompetence.
Obama is in way over his head, and everything he has devised against us is going to come squarely back upon him.
Thats just how God does justice... and nobody will escape the consequences, whether it is us for our laziness and complacency, or whether it is Obama and his right hand operatives in the Kremlin.
Obama WILL fail. Things will NOT go as he planned.
We will see God’s judgment against him... as we will also see God’s judgment against ourselves.
