How Obama victory could
affect areas of US economy

Associated Press, by Staff

Upper-income Americans may face a tax increase. Auto fuel economy standards might be raised. Stocks of construction and engineering companies could benefit. America's decision to re-elect President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney will affect all that and other elements of the U.S. economy and financial system - from the health care law to the overhaul of financial rules. At the same time, a gridlocked Congress will limit Obama's influence. Tuesday's election kept Republicans in control of the House. Democrats still control the Senate, but without a commanding majority. Here's how Obama's re-election could affect key sectors:

Its the day after the election and the APee discovers the economy is in the tank;
the stock market is falling like a rock;
and taxes are going to increase Jan 1.

Way to go, dummies.

Wrong! People will keep their money in their pockets.
No new cars, no remodeling of the house, no college for the kids.
The housing sector will sink deeper than it already is.
Illegals will self-deport and cost the Democrats the 2014 elections.
Corporations, who have trillions of dollars off-shore to avoid punitive US corporate taxes, will keep them out of the US and not use them to create US jobs.
Companies will reduce workforces and convert them to part-time consultants to avoid Obamacare penalties.
Many Corporations, sick and tired of the shifting political winds in this country, will by the stroke of a pen, incorporate in Bermuda, or Dubai, as Halliburton did.
By the way, isn't it interesting that we never hear any nasty things about Halliburton since they moved their corporate offices from the US?

In addition to what #2 said, many small companies were hanging on hoping that business might improve after the election. They now know it will not and will be closing up shop. No sense throwing good money after bad.
The country now belongs to the freeloaders. I hope they enjoy it.

More nonsense about winners and losers in the economy and what Congress must do to help with an economic recovery.

Obama does not want a recovery. He wants power. He intends to rule. Perhaps reign is a better word. And the poorer and more helpless the general population the more he can do that with force and edict.

Following up on what #4 said, I've long thought that O and the Dems want to keep Americans uneducated, unemployed, drugged, and focused on sex. Makes us easier to control.

The ONLY sector of the economy that will boom under a second NØbama administration will be guns and ammo sales.

I did my fair share and bought some 30-06 ammo today. Plan on buying as much 30-06 and 45 ammo as possible over time, but not so much at any one time to get on the government's radar.

Of course, that will only last until NØbama signs that UN treaty that bans us from owning firearms. He will sign that the day after he flips one of the conservative Supreme Court seats to a radical, anti-gun lie-beral. That will be the day the Constitution becomes a list of ''suggestions'' that was written by a bunch of old racist white men...

Very good #2. I'm with you except for the second part of your fourth point. By then more people will be on welfare and there will be more handouts. Obama will have found a way to bring in more illegals and they will add to the welfare roles. Even fewer will be voting conservative.

More alarmingly, if Obama could win re-election despite a disastrous first term, it seems impossible for a Republican to be elected President against any Democrat.

The GOP better not sit on their haunches, thinking success falls in their lap once Democrats fail! This election proved that no matter how badly they mess up, millions of Americans STILL refuse to vote for the current dilapidated , clueless Republican Party.

I suspect #7 is absolutely right. The more people on the producers take, the more they want and the more they'll vote to get it.

The good news is that many Obama voters and states that voted for Obama will be the first to feel the effects of Obama.

All those left wing journalists, pundits, news anchors and actors WILL see their taxes go up.

Virginia will see an immediate cut in defense spending. Likewise Washington. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia will see coal production plummet and manufacturing cut. Michigan wont see Detroit "come back". Many like myself will never own a GM or Chrysler product ever again.

California will be the first state, followed by New York, Illinois and Michigan over a financial cliff......and the government doesnt have the dollars to bail them out. More business will shift to the red states and the wealthy will relocate to lower tax states. There is already an exodus out of California and New York.

The poor pitiful poor will be the first to discover that their is a TAX for not having healthcare, and most of us will be paying more at the Doctors office. Energy will increase causing the cost of EVERYTHING to go up, which will affect the poor hardest.

And WHY the GOP hasnt been hammering basic economics to the electorate for the past 4 years mystifies me.

It is good to see so many comments about the financial implications of Obama's re-election.

streetsmart21 (You Tube) predicted silver might fall to $29.00. I believe it only got to $31.00. It can only go up from here....

LONDON- Two British men of Nigerian descent accused of hacking a soldier to death on a London street in revenge for wars in Muslim countries were known to security services, a source close to the investigation said Thursday. One man, filmed calmly justifying the killing as he stood by the body holding a knife and meat cleaver in bloodied hands, was named by acquaintances as 28-year-old Londoner Michael Adebolajo - a British-born convert to radical Islam. So frenzied was the attack, some witnesses thought they tried to behead the victim.

Ford Motor Co. (F) will stop making cars in Australia, nine decades after founder Henry Ford first began building Model Ts in the country, as a surge in the currency undermines the local industry’s ability to compete with imports.

An obscure November 2012 Wikileaks email dump points to former White House counterterrorism adviser and now-CIA chief John Brennan as the person behind the “witch hunt” of journalists who reported unflattering Obama administration leaks. A little over a week after President Barack Obama’s reelection, Wikileaks released an email dump of global intelligence files from the private intelligence company Stratfor. One particular email, dated September 21, 2010 discussed President Obama’s “Leak Investigations.”

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Thursday is expected to address some of the thornier aspects of national security policy, including drone strikes, the prison at Guantanamo Bay and the dire threats Americans continue to face , even from fellow citizens. On the eve of the president´s speech at the National Defense University, the Obama administration revealed for the first time that a fourth American citizen had been killed in secretive drone strikes abroad. The killings of three other Americans in counterterror operations since 2009 were known before a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder to

President Obama will announce Thursday that the White House plans to lift the ban on sending detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Yemen, Fox News confirms, a move that could effectively resume efforts to close down the prison. That effort, however, has been stymied because many countries don´t want the detainees or are unwilling or unable to guarantee that once transferred, detainees who may continue to be a threat will not be released. There are currently about 166 prisoners at Guantanamo, and 86 have been approved for transfer as long as security restrictions are met.

Newly uncovered court documents reveal the Justice Department seized records of several Fox News phone lines as part of a leak investigation -- even listing a number that, according to one source, matches the home phone number of a reporter´s parents. The seizure was ordered in addition to a court-approved search warrant for Fox News correspondent James Rosen´s personal emails. In the affidavit seeking that warrant, an FBI agent called Rosen a likely criminal "co-conspirator," citing a wartime law called the Espionage Act. Rosen was not charged, but his movements and conversations were tracked.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s
