I don't like to get too sucked into politics on these message boards so I will try to keep my statement non-partisan. ANY president who enjoys being elected to a second term, enjoys that priviledge because they are no longer concerned about job approval. Sure they want to leave a positive legacy BUT their chief concern is pushing their agenda through with a ramrod and without concern of public opinion. Their hope is then that the public will see in the following years that they were right and that will be written in history. If they are wrong they have lost nothing but historical opinion.
If you liked what a POTUS did in term one, expect that he will continue moving in that direction in high gear. If you didn't like what he was doing, expect to be VERY unhappy with what you are about to experience. Regardless, Obama is our President for 4 more years....my hope is that it was the right choice made by our citizenry and the beauty of it is it was the choice made by the citizens in the system we are currently in.
I found it interesting that if FLA with I think 30 EC votes that was won by 1% and I think WVA with 18 or 20 EC votes that was won by less than 2% had gone the other way, we'd have a new POTUS....it was a closer election than it seems based on final EC counts. We are certainly a country pretty evenly divided in what we want from our leadership.
God bless America and thank you for all that went out and voted for either candidate.
