what will Obama do now?
Will it be a continued, incremental march to impose government dependency or will they make a full-on dash with an outright disregard for the law, due process and rights?

what will Obama do now?
He'll have more "flexibility"............

what will Obama do now?
Anything he wants to. He now believes he has the mandate to finish wht he started in ruining this country.

Gun control. Rule by edict. Energy prices necessarily skyrocket. UN treaties ratified by a democrat senate.
Political enemies punished. Fairness doctrine. The War on religion continues.

All of the above, plus God Almighty is going to withdraw any protection He has granted on us.

It's obvious he has done so already.
I can't say I blame him, we have let our society decay so badly. We have allowed abortion on demand, we have limited ourselves from using the resources that we have been given, we have voted ourselves the wealth of other people, and we have replaced compassion with enabling those who choose to do nothing for themselves.

"We" have allowed no such thing. "We" have opposed it at every turn.
If you're worried about the wrath of the Almighty, what of Israel?

We was in the context of our country, Our country has not only allowed all this, many of them have cheered and tell us what a wonderful thing it is.

Nothing can hold; it's crumbling away underneath his feet.
Barack Milhous will be less powerful his second term than during his first four years.

I doubt that Frank, he has that flexibility and it's time for payback according to Jarret.

I hope you are right Frank. I really do.
But I don't see it that way. We still have a DEM controlled Senate and a spineless House Leadership.

He's no more "flexible" than he was at this time yesterday, as he hardly gained any new (D) seats.
And there isn't any means of "paying back" because his own treasury secretary has said he'll run out of money sometime in December. The bank's already empty.

They will just fire up the printing presses again.
Welcome the the New Greece.

I agree with Frank, we still have enough R's to hold back the Doom train...if they will. It's tough when the media lies their butts off, and so many Americans buy the BS. What concerns me most is unemployment and energy prices. I think we're going to look into a wood furnace for our house, and probably look for a water cooler for the summer. Electricity for air conditioning is already sky-high, by the time the next 4 years are over, I think A/C is going to become fairly rare...

Frank, he's shown the propensity to bypass Congress and rule by executive order. Coupled with issues such as Department of Energy initiatives, the growth of government welfare rolls and government employment, the increasing effect of Obamacare, he and the Dems have shown their ability to rule by fiat instead of rule by law, and the ability to institutionalize government control over our lives. I'm not at all confident the GOP has what it takes to stand in the way. Americans, strong and true, will have to fight this war on our values and institutions. We can no longer count on our representatives to be there for us. In the next four years we will be seeing our lives change as we never expected. We have to be stronger, and more focused and committed than we ever imagined.

Beohner said, once again, that the Republican congress will in no way work with him. So good luck to him getting anything done. He will probably start increasing the amount of executive orders.
I hope congress doubles down on the investigation of benghazi. That should have cost obama the election. But people felt saving big bird and getting free contraception was more important.

It's not God who is moving; God never changes. God isn't moving away from us.

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted it. He's probably saying, "Well, you think that you can do without Me? Go for it." Yet, at the same time, He will be there if we want to return to Him.
Methinks that we're in for a rough ten years or so, at the very least.

An unprecedented assertion of EPA power on the regulatory front, leading to drastically increased energy costs next Winter (Figuring that fuel contracts are mostly locked in for this one, and the necessary delay for publication notice and response to comments before new regulations take effect will move the effective date of new regs into the Spring). On the legislative front, taxation and the deficit will be the big battleground for the next year, which will suck all the oxygen out of the room for most other causes. Obamacare rolls forward unimpeded, with a lot of negative unintended consequences coming to light as it does.
Overseas, things are going to go from bad to worse.
European recession or stagnation is the only bright spot, since it makes our bonds relatively attractive, but anything that upsets that dynamic is going to lead to cascading fiscal crises for us.
The heyday of warfare-by-drone-strike is ending, as Islamist regimes fostered by our Administration take over in the countries where we mostly conduct them, and refuse to turn a blind eye to them any longer, as happened when the dictators who previously ruled regarded them as a plausibly-deniable aid to ridding their countries of annoying revolutionaries. A resurgent AQ will be much more careful about exposing themselves to strikes in any place that isn't a safe zone, and AQ attacks abroad, and possibly even something big here at home, are in the cards for us.
We will disengage on schedule from Afghanistan, because the schedule is more important than any other consideration, and the Taliban and AQ will immediately begin their campaign to retake the country, which will probably be largely successful before the 2016 election, at least in the southern half of the country.
Iran will BS Obama around until they finally get a successful weapons test and present the world with a fait accompli. He still won't do anything, which the Iranians will take as a sign of weakness which may empower them to consider some very rash actions. The Israelis will very likely feel compelled to act at that point, and Obama will still not know what to do, as he will not want to support them, nor directly attack Iran himself.

I'm expecting an executive order within one year granting amnesty to all illegal aliens living in the USA. I hope I'm wrong.

The document is written already. Just waiting for the greatest political impact before the signing. :whatever:
Barry is going to ****ing ROLLERCOASTER all over Congress, and the dufuses there will either be complicit or will be too stupid to understand what he's doing.
I'm sure that Boehner woke up this morning sobbing into his pillow -- sobbing because he doesn't have a ****ing clue what he's going to do.

Folks, in the words of the old carol, "...God is not dead, nor doth he sleep." God has not forsaken those who have not forsaken him. I know this - through the testimony of the Holy Spirit - and I pray each of us can know this in the depths of their souls over the next week or so.
We, as a people, must individually force ourselves to understand God's ways, if we intend to emerge on the other side of this with our faith and sanity intact. God, for all his omnipotence, is a God of order. He has created this universe, established the laws by which it operates, and scrupulously follows those laws. One of those laws - one which we who call ourselves his children have ignored - is the law that you cannot get something for nothing. We have mistakenly believed that our parents and grandparents busted their asses, sacrificed, lived frugally, lived humbly, so that we, their descendents, would not have to.
This - in my opinion - is the core of our error as a nation, for in so doing, many of us have come to believe that one of God's other laws - that actions and choices have consequences - doesn't apply to us. God can stand by us while we go through the inevitable consequences of 100 years of national insanity, but like the loving parent with a child going through detox, he can sympathize, he can hold our hands while we go through the worst of this, he can do what he needs to in order for us to LIVE through the withdrawal symptoms, but he cannot take away the natural consequences of our actions without devaluing the lesson we need to take away from this. Without risking that we'd turn back to the false ways that got us into this mess, like a dog to it's own vomit. As much as watching us go through this has to break Heavenly Father's heart, watching us turn back to it after having gone through this would hurt him even more.

I fear it is much worse than that:
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad?
5 Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled.
6 I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it.â€
7 The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.
8 Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land.
9 The Lord Almighty has declared in my hearing: “Surely the great houses will become desolate, the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine; a homer of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.â€
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets, pipes and timbrels and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord, no respect for the work of his hands.
13 Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding; those of high rank will die of hunger and the common people will be parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Death expands its jaws, opening wide its mouth; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revelers.
15 So people will be brought low and everyone humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will be proved holy by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture; lambs will feed[d] among the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit, and wickedness as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry; let him hasten his work so we may see it. The plan of the Holy One of Israel—let it approach, let it come into view, so we may know it.â€
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent.
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
26 He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come, swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired or stumbles, not one slumbers or sleeps; not a belt is loosened at the waist, not a sandal strap is broken.
28 Their arrows are sharp, all their bows are strung; their horses’ hooves seem like flint, their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roar is like that of the lion, they roar like young lions; they growl as they seize their prey and carry it off with no one to rescue.
30 In that day they will roar over it like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks at the land, there is only darkness and distress; even the sun will be darkened by clouds.
I pray that those who believe survive, but it rains on the just and unjust alike.

Option B. Despite winning barely 50 percent of the vote, the left and MSM (I know, redundant) will call this a "mandate" and rush headlong, knowing that by 2017 (or later, if the American people are REALLY stupid) it'll already be too late to reverse it.

Oh, rest assured, it's no holds barred. From now until the Marxist in Chief HAS to leave my White House, he and his sycophants will run pell mell into their marxist bag of tricks and come up with shit that we couldn't even imagine he could do.
Of course you remember Barry's live-mike comment to Putin's minion that he'll have more "flexibility" after the election. Flexibility, my ass. That ****er's a regular Gumby.

I would say we might as well adopt the Greek flag (Changing the stripes to red), but I know the Dems would go apeshit because it has a cross on it.
