Well, Obamas first day after the election is starting off just as he left off. We need immigation. We need a carbon tax. We need global warming taxes. We need more green energy, etc.

Well, folks, the few jobs we had left will be long gone and the only thing you can count on is energy costs are going way up. He still has not figured out, "It is the economy and jobs, stupid."

He sends out one of his senior staff to the press conference to have her talk about how Obama has heard the will of the peole with his new 0.5 percent victory mandate vote of the people. He is going to offer compromise to the oposition party. But if they will not cooperate with his views, then it will be just like the past four years -- stalemate.

Welcome to Obama's country. Of course, this really does not matter to the voters who returned him to office. We proved again that we are stupid enough to elect him and should get what we deserve.
