If Obama wins, will Republicans be willing to work with him, or will they try to prove their point for 4 more years and work against him? I don't know if this country can handle 4 more years of political bickering and lack of progress like we've had.
Who knows, but my completely wild guess is they won't cooperate at all with President Obama or their colleagues in the Congress.
If Obama wins, the nation as we know it is finished. We will be on a path of fiscal insolvency from which there is no return. Our options at that point would be-
a. break up as a nation
b. continue with deficit spending and become Greece/Zimbawe
c. default and cause a decade of economic chaos
Another term for Obama is jump from the the edge. Are you prepared?
Are you psychic? Are you looking into your crystal ball?
Clearly you're an extremist screaming that the sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.
i'm a democrat and what you are saying is wishful thinking.

I disagree nighttrain. I think there is a real possibility that Wayland Woman is right. Her post makes a lot of sense. When Romney loses, the Republican Party will have a lot of work to do to get back on track for the 2016 election. The November election could very well send a strong message that the country is fed up with the far-right extremists and the people they have sent to Congress.

Since you know what will happen if Obama wins, can you let me know what will happen if Romney wins? Knowing the future will really help me decide who to vote for, let me know asap

Yes, when Obama wins, you can break out that Champange...

Right-
$24-$26 trillion in debt
no budget
continued multi - trillion dollar deficits
No domestic oil or oil shale exploration
shutting down the US coal industry, causing electricity to "necessarily skyrocket"
Obamacare- driving down the ability of business to hire
More EPA regulations
No national right to work act
Higher taxes for individuals and corporations
continued loss of manufacturing jobs
war in the middle east, due to lack of will of Obama
no NAFTA or China trade renegotiations
open door immigration policy
There you have it. Four more years of Obama will be the death of the nation.

You're technically right -- unemployment was 17% in 1936 when FDR was re-elected, and 15% in 1940 when he was re-elected again. And neither 17% nor 15% are 8%. But I suspect that what you meant (wrongly) was that no President with an unployment rate as high as 8% has ever been re-elected.
But you miss the point that there isn't much of a correlation between the re-election rate of Presidents and the unemployment rate.
Perhaps the lesson you might take away from 1936 and 1940 is that when a President comes into office facing an economic fiasco of epic proportions handed to him by his predecessor, the electorate cuts him a lot of slack. But since this is a lesson that is undoubtedly displeasing to you, you are probably determined to disregard it.
i was under the impression this was a 1 term proposition....
