Obama won and the House and Senate have not changed so....

Now, it's time to finish-OFF.....

....The GRIDLOCKERS!!!

"After being beat back by their own leaders two years ago, rank-and-file Democratic senators are newly optimistic about the prospect that Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will move ahead with a filibuster overhaul at the start of the new Congress.

Just how to do it remains a subject of much debate, but many of the proposals could drastically restrict the minority’s current rights to block almost anything that comes to the Senate floor."​

Obamaphones.

Lots and lots of Obamaphones.

 

[Claudette]

Nothing has changed.

The Reps hold the House. The Dems hold the Senate.

We have that fuck back in the WH.

No change. Same old, same old.

Obama's Holding the Cards​

"At first glance, the results of the 2012 election look like a return to the status quo: President Obama was reelected, Democrats retained the Senate, and Republicans held on to the House. But don’t be fooled. The political dynamic of the next four years will be almost exactly the opposite of the last four.

Sure, partisan bickering will endure. There will still be Red America and Blue America, Fox News and MSNBC. But with one big difference: During Obama’s first term, and particularly in the last two years, the Republican Party had most of the leverage. The GOP’s willingness to reject stimulus, default on the debt, and sabotage the nation’s credit rating—threats that shook financial markets—often put the White House at the mercy of the opposition.

In Obama’s second term, leverage will shift to the Democrats on almost every issue of importance. And that shift has already begun."

What did we buy for the next 4 years with our votes?

We bought higher taxes on the rich; at least four more years of deficit spending (which would have probably been even higher under Romney); some form of bastardized entitlement reform that just pushes the crisis onto a future Administration and does not actually fix anything; a military drawdown in Afghanistan in 2014; Sarah Palin finally being silenced for all time; Paul Ryan at the head of the GOP ticket in 2016; Rush Limbaugh outing himself on the air; Patty Murray becoming a household name; a leftward lurch on the Supreme Court; an improving economy until Europe crashes and burns; one whopper of a bubble pop in China; $3.00 gas every once in a while; more gains for Democrats in the House in 2014; and spotty cable reception.

Elections have consequences, obama is sitting in his own full diaper because he won, without even realizing that the people who opposed him won too. And they won because they opposed him.
