He has no friends. It's clear he's alone and doesn't like the job anymore. He's going to be distant and aloof this next term. He might even have physical issues we don't know about yet.
It's entirely possible the Dems will begin dumping him in preparation for the 2014 races. Don't forget the Fast & Furious and Benghazi stories have yet to unfold, and Rep. Issa is still in charge. Obama's pinned into exactly the same situation he's had for the last 2 years. Not much has changed.
And even if he does get 2 liberal SC Justices seated, that whole un-Constitutional Judicial activism crap is something we've needed to address for a long, long time. Let's clip their wings.
Stealing an election will have consequences. Also, God is not mocked.

More wishful thinking. Again based on the idea that O somehow wants a prosperous and happy America. And to leave it better than he found it.

#1 And that's where BJ Clinton fits in. The Faustian bargain: BJ gets to govern behind the curtain while Dear Leader shows up for photo ops...always looking cool and refreshed.

It is up to the House republicans to block and block everything they must.

But they won't. They are worried that the negative campaigning that brought down Romney will beset them to. He'll try to do it on a grand scale and trash the whole R party.

Obama doesn't need congress. He will make a couple of supreme court appointments, then liberals will control the court system. The WT thinks obama is going to govern according to the constitution? Not a chance.

As long as none of the (somewhat) conservative justices on the SCOTUS die or retire, O won't be able to affect the basic makeup of the Court. He may get to replace Ginsburg with another liberal--a wash. Scalia will never step down while Obama is President.

Well... "Duck" is I guess the cliche, and the PG version, but....

9 million fewer votes than 2008? Spent all that cash and the ingrates didn't even show up?

#1: He never liked the job, but he does like the parks. A private 747 for vacations and campaigning? What's not to like? Especially with a nifty 757 to tote Michelle around.

#5: Indeed, indeed. No more letters. Tooth and nail over everything, including the paperclips for the Oval Office.

#6: Some will, some won't. The "won'ts" can be dumped in 2 years. After 2 years of us on their backs.

#8: Good take. IMHO, Scalia would "pull a Cheney" [mechanical heart] if necessary to keep that seat out of Stinky's hands.

War soon he will have his hands full and the
agenda goes out the window.Syria. Israel. Iran.
The pressure cooker is on...

#1 brings up a point. What if Soros talked Obama into running again just so they could win back the WH with the understanding that he could quit if he wants to in the next term because they would still have the WH with Biden and we know what a puppet he is. They could state health issues or whatever.

Then Biden could nominate Shrill as veep and then he could be asked to step down and she becomes president and picks another veep. This would make her the incumbent for 2016. Stranger things have happened.

Obama spent his whole first term running for re-election. I don't know how he makes the mental shift into doing his real job.Campaigning and fundraising kept him busy and out of the WH where he's now trapped behind 4 walls with MO nagging and nitpicking the whole time..

He placated the left but they're not who makes the country work. If he doubles down on this stupidity,he'll be a failure for sure.

The left, which otherwise hates god is now thanking him for the hurricane,despite the misery of millions of people.

It's the dog in the manger story. He doesn't like the job (he hates work, period) but he doesn't want anyone else to have it, either.

I'm wondering if he will take out revenge on the papers that did not endorse him, the states that did not vote for him, etc. He's so thin-skinned.

We found two squeaky-clean men to run, and they lost anyway. America is gone. Down with Amerika.

Change the "d" to an "f" in the headline and you have it right.

Republicans should not block the dem agenda but vote ''present'' on every thing they want to pass. Let them own,completely own, the oncoming disaster. They will have no one to accuse of ''obstructionism''-''oh we could have done this, and this, if not for the republicans...blah blah blah.'' Let them OWN it!
We might get both houses, then, in 2014.

Only if he can't get his 3 Supreme Appointmens to approve an FDR

If the first words out of the speaker of the house are .... we are here to compromise and do what obama tells us to do....I don't think we have a lame-duck potus.

He's already claimed he has a mandate so forget saying he doesn't. Remember he claimed Obamacare was bipartisan. He will now rule by decree.

#7 has it exactly right, Obamao will bypass congress.
