What Changed Today? (unemployment, Congress, legal, Afghanistan)

[Wynternight]

The next four years will look like the last two: Obama is President, Dems control the Senate, and Republicans the House. It's going to be another four years of gridlock. Nothing will change unless our leaders remember they represent us and not their own special interests.

Yes, half the country voted for exactly the same as we already have.


Forward indeed.

Unemployment will slowly fall down to 5 or 6% by the end of Obama's second term, the economy will be roaring back, gay marriage legal in at least half of America, and our troops will finally be out of Afghanistan...Obama destined to go down in history as one of our greatest presidents.

I don't think time will prove that out.

The Supreme Court will look dramatically different.

Actually 97% voted for the same thing. Anyone who thinks Romney would have made a difference is in serious denial.

Not really since it's the liberal justices who will likely retire. We can only dream Scalia or Thomas will retire in the next 4 years.

Obama will continue to govern on strictly partisan lines and will shove more mischief down the pike. Many Republicans in congress will conclude that Romney was just too conservative and they need to be more moderate in the future to get things done.

America is toast.
