| President Barack Obama will never again have to face voters. Nothing he does will have to be calibrated for how it plays in swing states or with Independent voters. He is now governing solely for his own legacy. This is one reason I so opposed his reelection. Given his left-ward lunge in his first term, I shuddered to think where he would go in his second. An article today in Obama fan-zine Buzzfeed confirms my fears. “I’m hopeful,” said Slama. “He’ll try to play to the middle, but he’s got the Tea Party to deal with,

Obama is worried about his legacy.
His Presidential library is guaranteed to have only one section:

His legacy will be the destruction of America.
Four years from now we will be living in a dictatorship. I hope all who voted for Obama will be happy then. They are going to get what they wanted. Unfortunately, they are going to take the rest of us along with them.

"Be who he is"??
No one knows who he is. See if the MSM can explain who he is. They have done everything they could possibly do not to examine who he is, and, rather, to keep everyone else ignorant even if they did know something.
Be who he is. Sure. I'm sure we are about to find out.

Revenge!
The attacks on traditional American values is underway, unopposed by any need for decorum or civility. We are about to see what unfettered Marxist zeal looks like up close. Thank you Democrats. You too will feel the wrath and will wonder in the end what you have wrought.

Free to be who he is? Think Robert Mugabe and the former African "breadbasket" of Rhodesia, now known as the African "wasteland" of The Republic of Zimbabwe!

Obama will soon be in Hawaii, at his Western White House. No need for DC until inaugural, then back to Hilo. Will use this as base for tax payer funded golf outings in Thailand, New Zealand, Tahiti and other locations that neither he nor his mother-in-law have seen. Why care about debt limits, unemployment, fiscal cliffs or Benghazi when you can be in Hawaii. Legacy, smegacy. It's Fore! Not Forward from now on.

Does this mean he's free to be a socialist, inexperienced, empty suit, dictating to everyone else who should do what with whom while befriending all our enemies and hating on all our friends?
So, like, who was he the first term?

We ain't seen nothing yet; see what happens if he gets to one or two appointments for the SCOTUS...the damage will keep on occurring well after his departure. The repercussions are devastating and the only hope is it is so severe we lock up the Senate and House in 2014 with veto proof membership.

At least Obama can now truthfully claim to have inherited a mess. Sensible Americans know he will only make it worse. Just about everything Obama touches gets fouled up. This is because he doesn't understand how things work. He thinks he does, but he doesn't. He has a of of things backwards. His solutions are therefore far more likely to harm than to help. He is not alone. Lots of Americans share his illusions and delusions about how the world works, how people actually behave. To some degree this is the consequence of civilization itself, which makes everything seem easy, natural and necessary. Civilization provides a buffer zone and wide limits of tolerance within with errors and contradictions of reality can take place without obvious, immediate consequences and therefore feedback. It becomes difficult to distinguish between reality and virtual reality. Things that would not normally be possible begin to seem possible, as though they were part of the natural order of things rather than artifacts of advanced civilization. People who grow up in this cocoon of man-made reality take it for granted. The minimization of struggle delays emotional maturity and permits a fundamentally imaginary world view to prosper as though it were solidly grounded in reality rather than sustained by the collective effort of advanced society.
This, I believe, is what makes people like Barack Obama and his supporters and their fantasy ideology possible. They can no longer reliably distinguish the real from the unreal. They are insulated from corrective feedback of the consequences of their false beliefs and wrong choices. They have no way of knowing when they make a mistake.

Headline seems right to me.
I expect to see his administration proceed with the "Final Solution" to many problems.
Guessing. Obama doesn't care much about ideology himself. But he does the personal perks of being President and will keep increasing those.
It is his team that contains the true believers and he will be guided by them.

A pre-11/6 "friend" was ecstatic over the election results. She told me it took Obeyme four years to clean up Bush's mess, and we now owe him four more years to do "HIS thing".
I would've gone for the jugular, but there were too many witnesses...we were at the Mall.

FTA: President Barack Obama will never again have to face voters.
Yeah, well, Constitutionally, he can face voters twice more.
435 in the House.
100 in the Senate.
He's more than earned those "elections."

Schools and police stations were burning in Stockholm as violent riots continued for a fifth consecutive night. Emergency services were called to 70 separate incidents, including two torched primary schools, burning shops and a destroyed library building also housing a local police unit. Despite police claiming that the situation is beginning to calm down, critics say the riots were unavoidable after years of widening social gaps in a country which has the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens in Scandinavia.

The lawyer picked Thursday to succeed Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago´s U.S. attorney is a former federal prosecutor best known for taking on corrupt politicians and powerful institutions such as the University of Notre Dame. Zachary Fardon would take over an office that has made its mark nationally by putting crooked government officials behind bars but increasingly faces pressure to do more to help in the fight against Chicago´s violent street gangs. "Zachary Fardon will be unwavering in his commitment to justice, and I am confident he will serve the people of Illinois with excellence," President Barack Obama said

In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans´ accusations of scandal aren´t legitimate — a claim that´s sure to draw howls from the right."Getting in President Obama´s way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one.

As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli said “every one of those comments has a context and were spoken in my role as a minister, not as a candidate.” In particular, the black Republican took issue with the media’s outrage over his comments on abortion.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

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.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
