Analysis: Victory puts Obama in position to expand government's reach

What a great day for freedom of choice, charity and brotherly love. I feel like I just watched the end of the Tolkien trilogy.

The Dark Lord has been defeated. Not Romney: he was more like Boromir. No, this was the end of the dark force of hate-based, bigoted, birthers such as Karl Rove. I hope the ring has been destroyed.

I hope the GOP can move back to the center and become once again the same party that gave us honest Abe. Then we can have a real national dialog and solve national problems.

*In fact, Zelizer said, both Obama and Romney were “relatively in the middle of the political spectrum, with limits on what they (could) achieve in a gridlocked Washington.”*

And Thank God in both cases! The more their power is limited, the more the people benefit.

More expanded federal government in our lives – as if we don’t have enough already. And this is not “government money” we are talking about – it is “taxpayers’ money”. You know, the taxes we pay on gas, on internet, on almost everything we buy in our daily lives.

So convenient to call it “government money” – as if it comes from only the pockets of the administration, the Congress. Maybe if that were true, they would be more careful about spending this “government money”!

lovejoyone, obama won the popular vote by 1 million. u think this puts to bed the divisiveness and hatred of both sides for each other? LOL.

The Death Of The Republic 11/6/2012

Who re-elected Barrack Obama? By the numbers, women and minorities. While many members of both groups may fervently oppose Obama, and his quasi euro-socialism, those are the facts based upon the data. Both groups, based on exit polling, see a greater need for government intervention into our lives on a very personal level, whether it be healthcare or monthly benefits/aid related. With Obama in power, the power and scope of the federal government will continue to expand across the board exponentially, thereby further increasing the dependence of the aforementioned groups. All the while enlisting millions of more on the dependence rolls and solidifying an unbeatable single party rule. We have entered the death spiral from which no Republic has ever recovered based upon the history of failed democracies.
Mitt ran a good campaign, the country is in a mess, unemployment is higher than when Obama took office, Benghazi is an obvious cover up and occurred just before a major election—and Obama won handily. Mitt should have won, in a landslide, it’s not complicated. It’s also not complicated to see how this story ends. Our republic died last night, it will not recover, it’s important to understand that fact and move forward accordingly. By 2016 the republicans will lose all power in all three branches (and also lose our last line of defense, the Supreme Court, in the process) and cease to be a relevant political entity. There will then be nothing to stop the left from dismantling what remains of our once great nation, and they will do so with great haste and enthusiasm. All aboard for the slow boat to Venezuela. Slow, but inevitable in it’s destination.

Hope everyone had a Plan B, if not, today would be an excellent day to start.

Alexis de Tocqueville was right when he said the “American experiment” in democracy would end when politicians realized they could bribe the public with its own money. We will now be relegated to the ash heap of history and become just another nation among many that overtaxes and over regulates its citizens. When unemployment hits 10% (1 million more people are already slated to lose their jobs on January 1, 2013), gas costs $6/gallon and the dollar is worth even less (causing hyper inflation), I don’t want to hear my liberal friends (and relatives) complaining about how hard it is to make it. Don’t say we didn’t try to warn you.

How delusional can people like LoveJoyOne be?!. They claim brotherly love by voting for a “president” whose whole presidental term has been based on everybody hating everybody else..Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Medical, Big Insurance, Big Money, White People.

The article AGAIN preaches division and alienation, by dividing Americans into hyphen this and hyphen that or classes and parts of parts. We’re all supposed to be AMERICANS FIRST!! Not your ethnicity or income tax bracket.

What is truly bizarre and dispiriting is when you vote, the emblem of the Democratic party contains the visage of a man who once said:
Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”

John F. Kennedy’s country and vision is now dead as Obama will continue to throw dirt on the grave of the Great American Idea.

loejoyone, this is what honest Abe believed in and it has nothing to do with Obama’s agenda:
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further brotherhood of a man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

…..Abraham Lincoln

Sounds a little like the Conservative view, doesn’t it?

Revolution is coming, people.

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Romans 13:1-7

LoveJoyOne – the Republicans ARE in the middle. That’s how skewed the portrayal of the political landscape is by the MSM. The Dems are dominated by what they even call the ‘coastal’ dems… a group that wants an expansive roles for the federal government, a nanny state in the eyes of Republicans. If you don’t mind reporting your health records to the federal gov’t, being told what health access you will be granted, being told what your children are to eat in school, what kinds of vehicles you can drive and how much gas or energy you will be allowed – this is all viewed by this democrat party as ‘for the greater good’ and so justified. Some of this goes on now, e.g., requirements on vehicles. These Dems want more. So much bad in the world has been done under this rationale. Be careful what you wish for LoveJoyOne.

I once had an obese friend, I tried to encourage her to eat a balnced diet, get exercise and lose the weight becasue the she already had co-morbidities due to her weight. My efforts resulted in a strained relationship, she didn’t want to change. She had to experience a crisis before she got serious about her problems.

I think it’s time for the republicans to give the progressives unobstructed access to implement their economic policies. If they are right, we all win, if not, we will quickly go over the fiscal cliff and hopefully rebuild at that point.

I have a feeling that Barack Obama will try to play a game of “Chicken”. However, the only people who will really suffer is the public. The article’s lead in is quite misleading. Also, in 2014, the Affordable Care Act will start really coming into force. If your employer opts to pay the fine and not furnish any employee health care, you will be at the mercy of a health care exchange that may or may not furnish what you would deem to be affordable health care. The fine as currently structured will be far lower than what any employer would have to pay for any legal form of health plan.

Expand govt reach!? Have you read the IRS powers in Obamacare? You can’t expand the reach much further up your ass than that!

No matter how deeply Obama and his socialist pals dig in and strengthen their positions on Obamacare and whatever else is on their agenda, WE THE PEOPLE can undo it, just like we did in 1776. As for any racked up loans, we can default on them, and then the world community can chip in and support us, with billions in grants, for a change. Not sure it works that way…though. If the Chinese try to move in, they will be met with the Right’s 200 million guns and the Left’s bent-over eagerness, iPads and free phones.

[The Dark Lord has been defeated. Not Romney: he was more like Boromir. No, this was the end of the dark force of hate-based, bigoted, birthers such as Karl Rove.]

Proof positive you loonies are STILL obsessed with George W. Bush. What are you going to do now, blame Bush for another 4 years for Obama’s incompetence?

United States of America
July 4th, 1776 – Novenber 7th, 2012
R.I.P.

In the past four years, the challenge for unemployed American citizens who never abused illicit drugs and who don’t have criminal records was finding a job while the government offered employers so many tax breaks for hiring certain foreign nationals, “at risk” youth, drug addicts and convicted felons.

In the next four years, the challenge will be keeping a job.

We have reached the point where we have a sufficient number of people who will vote for what they can get…instead of for what’s best for the country. These people are not only boring to be around, but the damage this president can do in 4 more years will change America forever. All this is a product of what we have allowed our education system to become. They teach what to think, instead of how to think.

It’s gonna be Athens vs Sparta again, boys. Athens has just robbed the treasury of the Delian League and is about to build it’s temple to her municipal god in the form of redistribution and bailouts (they are just getting started–take a look at Ca and Il). We won last time and we can do it again. Better hide behind those walls while you can. Did I hear somebody sneeze?

As the reach of federal government expands there is the inevitable destruction of individual liberty and freedom! But who cares? We are broke, we are trillions in debt, the cost of living is sky rocketing and crime plagues our nation. But who cars? Let us dance and sing for tomorrow will never come! Delusions? They are are ours to enjoy…for a moment.

Why have we not learned from our past. Public Education has turned out an uneducated class very year since it was reported to all 50 Governors in 1989 and not one of those Governors said a word.

How can you sit at home with your children and grandchildren and just ignore what is happening in our Educational system and it is an acceptable practice by our Federal and State Governments.

Those children in 1989 are now the ones that voted and using only the color of their skin as the measuring stick as to who is best qualified to lead this America.

Continuing to produce an uneducated social class is and will be forever America biggest downfall as we now have seen. It has caught up with all of us.

This is not me saying it, these are supposed to be best in the field of Education leading our 50 Governors.

“In 1989, a senior director of the Mid-Continent Regional Educational Laboratory told the fifty governors of American states that year assembled to discuss government schooling, “What we’re into is total restructuring of society.” It doesn’t get much plainer than that. There is no record of a single governor objecting.

Two years later Gerald Bracey, a leading professional promoter of government schooling, wrote in his annual report to clients: “We must continue to produce an uneducated social class.”

This is not the America I know and love.

The icon of the party of deficit and death returns to the White House after running the sleaziest campaign in modern history – defined by his character – with virtually half the country literally despising him.

The foreign press rejoices. Schadendfreude. Soon we will be Greece, but our single women will be able to get their free contraceptives and government sponsored abortions right up until the moment we go broke. As for the next generation who would be born owing more than $50,000 each (so far) in national debt, well we can just abort them.

Because this as worked so well for USSR, Cuba, China, Venezuela etc.

When the Big R Republicans boot out the progressives then we can expect different results (Scott Brown, John McCain, Romney-care etc). Until then, expect the socialist party to continue to win. Better pray for divine intervention, other than that there is no good reason for hope.

Obama’s going to eat this economy coming. It would had been the same for Romney, but Obama has no idea what to do with it. Japan’s lost decade comes to the US.

It is truly amazing that a nation would be stupid enough to re-elect a demon who has already done grievous damage to a people and promises to do more. I guess the threats of violence of his minions frightened enough people, the suppression of the military vote, and the customary voter fraud was sufficient to return the Marxist to the White House. Four more years of this? Ghastly.

RIP, USA 1776-2012
Yesterday America chose to commit suicide.
Buy Food, Guns, and Ammo.
Close out your IRA. Empty your bank account.

a very violent and chaotic place to live,
before it is ultimately destroyed.

“Political analysts and strategists expect Obama’s second-term agenda to be layered with increased federal spending for education, job and energy programs.”

No, actually none of that is going to get funded by the House. He’s going to turn into a pragmatic centrist, cutting expenses, or he is going to be a whinny lame duck. He does not have a mandate, the House does not answer to him. I’d have hoped that concept would be obvious by now.

LoveJoyOne, actually waht you are seeing in that smoldering ash is the remnants of democracy as we know it. Half the population just found out it can vote itself money, now the source of that money will shrivil and die.

The Democrats did an excellent job distracting voters into grievance groups while preventing the Republicans from forming the only split that really matters: taxpayers vs. non-taxpayers.

It’s time for the Republicans in Congress to find a pair and put somebody other than Boehner, who doesn’t have the sense to use the power of his branch to rein in the Executive and the Judicial, in leadership positions. The permanent resident class in Washington need to learn who employs them and perform their duties ethically.

A nation divided will fall (you can count on it)

It’s already happening I just suspect many have not caught on to that yet.

I hope that conservatives wake up and stop that silly middle of the road dance they’ve been doing. Time to vote more true conservatives in – we need more men and women who are more right of center.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Ignorance – wins out. The truth being hidden or cloaked by an arrogant media. This is the second Dot BOMB. Remember the youthful creators of all sorts of .coms crashed and burned because of ignorance of the principles of business and simple maturity. I hope and pray we don’t have to learn a hard lesson – that you cannot have it all and have someone else pay for it. This is lost on the me generation. Maybe Obama will actually realize that he doesn’t have to please the NAZI left – an d will move toward fiscally responsible policies – and an actual budget. We have been without one for 4 years.( but no one noticed)

As The Govt allows Others to continue to walk in and take as they please, the ones That keep being taken from object and say earn your own.

Their response is, “move more to center. Taking from others is the new normal. Get used to it. Maybe you should elect people that are used to taking from others too. Then we can get things done.”

This whole election reminds me of the movie Doctor Zhivago when he returns to his home and finds his house full of people who ungratefully commandeered it for the good of the People.

Expand the government’s reach?! Are you high?!
Where DOESN’T the government reach these days?

Obama ran his first campaign on transparency, which never happened.Now it’s time to demand his college records, his actual birth certificate, all the files on Fast And Furious, the terrorist attack on Benghazi, and his hidden agenda with the Muslim Brotherhood. There is more than enough to impeach him and bring him up on charges of treason. It’s really disturbing to think that this Country has drifted so far away from what it was built on. Half this country thinks they are entitled to everything that other half of the country works hard for. We have a very lazy and degrading society, that is mirroring Europe and it’s Socialists. This Country was built on pursuing life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not entitlements! The backlash is going to be severe. And to the rest the world, the United States has become a third world power, that makes our allies very worried and our enemies very happy. Wake up America !

“For some, that would be enough to secure his place in history.”

Actually, it is enough to secure socialism in the American system of government. The Founders must be spinning in their graves.

Seeing that the country wants higher taxes, a Marxist government, fewer jobs, lower paying jobs and an ever expanding government, maybe the Republicans should allow them to achieve that goal! Be ready for higher prices on electricity, natural gas, gasoline and food!

Obama didn’t save the auto industry. He saved the UAW–for now. He hobbled the auto industry by sticking them with the union contracts, making it harder to get credit (because creditors got shafted in the “bailout”), and dictating that the carmakers make small, unprofitable cars (at UAW rates) and expensive electric cars that spontaneously combust. Thanks Prez!

The idiots now outnumber the ones of us that can actually add, subtract and multiply. We are buried in debt and all they worry about is cutting the ANNUAL debt by half by 2021,lol. Can any of you liberals add up the annual debt over the next years and put that what we already owe and figure out how much interest we will be paying? Stick a fork in us, we are done.

People who are clue-less and who vote for popularity…that’s who voted for him last night…….Republicans better stop being so gracious and stop taking the high road…. thinking that will win them votes…Sad, but true.

Of course minorities always vote Democrat. The Democrats promise them something for nothing and they lap it up. Well, with 16 trillion in debt, those days are drawing to a close. We are no different than Greece and when are debt gets too high, our choices will be extremely limited.

The party of “give me free stuff” beat the party of “freedom”…with the government now poised to increase it’s hold over every citizen, be prepared to lose some of your God given rights. When doctors retire and no one wants to do the time required to become a doctor because ObamaCare has made it unprofitable, then try and find a doctor or specialist when you are sick. Just a Palin said, there is a panel of 15 non-medical types who will decide on what Medicare will provide and to whom…All I can say to you liberals is watch out what you wish for because you just might get it…

He did not save 1.5 million jobs. He saved maybe 100,000 but the spent a fortune doing so. We will be bailing them out in 6 months.

I just want the Republicans to keep up this mantra when Obama and the democrats argue for their expansion of government: Who is going to pay for this?

The Spending is out of control and government expansion means more spending. Somebody has to pay the bill and the countries lending to the US aren’t going to simply keep signing more checks if they feel they’re not going to see a good return on their investment.

“a choice between Democrat Barack Obama’s brand of government activism and Republican Mitt Romney’s commitment to reducing Washington’s role in Americans’ daily lives.”

Wake UP!!!!

It is a choice between freedom and servitude. NOTHING MORE OR LESS.

The die is cast.

The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money. Alexis de Tocqueville

LoveJoyOne: Go back to your fictional fantasy world and keep drinking the party kool-aid. Maybe you should ammend your comment to say the following:

“I hope the Democrats can move back to the center and become once again the same party that gave us JFK. Then we can have a real national dialog and solve national problems.”

Basically, the people get the government they deserve. I sit here this morning more bemused than angry, as I reflect upon the simplicity of our electorate.

Make no mistake, ours has become a celbrity-obsessed culture, and it shows in the way we approach our elections: we have a celebrity President.

Until we can approach our elections for US President in a more serious manner than we do for High School class President, we are doomed to repeat this cycle over and over.

THE DREAM HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

Government, that nebulous set of interests is now free to consolidate power in tyranny. For an expansion of government simply means a limit on the individual. This Republic was never meant to stand after the people became lost to the old siren song of plunder.
Be aware now my fellow citizens, so many of you have what you have wished for.
Now we will all pay for the fantasy.

Indeed. As those who’ve read the terms of the NDAA and Obama’s willing execution thereof are acutely aware, it’s a push toward TOTALITARIANISM and the further planned erosion of the nation state.
The crux is this: an entirely new generation of minds has emerged in both America and Europe. They are pro-globalist, anti-white and specifically anti-white-male even though many themselves are white males, pro developing world, and above all, they proclaim diversity and global citizenship as the mantras of the New World Order. In other words – your typical glazed-eyed Obamacan. This new mindset simply does not understand that they are nothing more than pawns in the hands of the international banking elite, which is implementing its strategy to consolidate power by eliminating individual nation states and replacing these with regions of centrally controlled dominance. These are long-term, well-planned moves toward the most dangerous form of totalitarianism the world has ever seen. But it appears there is nothing more than can stop the agenda.
These trends are regularly visible in the language used in application forms to foundations, which serve as gate-keepers for the accepted ideology. Europeans are being pushed into accepting the entire Maghreb region into its fold; Americans have been trimmed to accept all of Latin America as an integral part of the NAU. The election results and proud supporters of “The One” prove that this agenda is well on its way to fulfillment.

Totalitarianism in the making!

Unfettered by having any RINOs left in their ranks, the House can use its sizable Republican majority that was elected yesterday to push a sensible, conservative federal budget through the House. All spending bills originate in the House.

AZreb: believe it or not, about 75% of the people I know and have known over the years, DO believe in government money. When I explain that without taxpayers the govt. wouldn’t have any money, they stare in wonderment (or blank stupidity). Sad, but that is the result of a public school education. Let’s face it honestly, the president is himself clueless about economics and finance.

Obama “closer to the middle” – that’s a laugh. Illegal immigration and Obama’s pandering to illegals and every other self interest group swung the election. No voter ID required. Illegals immigrants, completely out of control spending, and the narcissistic left voter spells doom for America. As for the right pandering to those groups in in the future – don’t bother. Bankrupt, ignorant and selfish – America isn’t worth the trouble anymore.

The Republicans must have a ground game in the big cities. They don’t and it cost them. Its not enough to scour the countryside for votes. They have to be driving major City votes to the polls.

Our downfall is inevitable – we have more debt per person than Greece and we just vote for overdrive

Actually, it just creates 4 more years of gridlock, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing

Thank you to those who’re so happy today that your savior has 4 more years. Question is, 4 more years of what, what we’ve had the last four? Can he still blame Bush? Will he be willing to work with those who may not fully support his agenda or will he turn away as he’s done in the last four? Are you gonna be happy when your taxes go up in 2013 with the extension running out and the tax heavy Obamacare? You’re in the same boat all of us are in. You now own what you’ve voted for and whatever happens, you deserve it.

Second term agenda….Increase surveilance capabilities of every major city across the nation. Too much privacy is now a crime. Government needs to know who we are talking to, spending our time with. What we are reading, eating watching, saying and where we spend our time during the day. Of course, this is all under the umbrella of “national security”. Sound familiar?

I will never buy another Big Three and I use to work for GM. My parents have stated they will not buy a GM or Chrysler product ever again. Will be shopping for a new car, diesel in the near future and it looks like a VW will fit the bill. Out family use to be 100% Big Three and within the last decade are down to only one, soon to be replaced.

A government-run economy never out performs a market economy, but impoverishes a society at every level (except government elites). Obama has not learned this as few left-wing ideologues who have never held a real job, or worked a business, understand. When the taxes rise and regulations kick in and restrictions ham-string people’s economic freedom, and Wall-street is constantly under seige, the second honey
moon will end. There’s a rough ride ahead for this 2nd term president.

There is no mandate, the race went 51-49 and the swing states were tight as well. Additionally, Obama campaign simply spent all their time and money running negative against Romney, they never took a policy stand, no-one knows what they will do because they never had to say anything. Deficit? Nope. Budget? Nope. Fracking? Nope. Economic growth and employment? Nope. Romney? Yes, bad rich man. The only mistake Obama made was allowing Univision to ask a serious question. It was all E tv and “the view” after that.

Lovejoyone writes: “What a great day for freedom of choice, charity and brotherly love”. Then in the next breath: “No, this was the end of the dark force of hate-based, bigoted, birthers such as Karl Rove”, and then goes on to compare the election to a movie about good vs evil.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. Their vision of peace and brotherly love involves ridding the World of all dissenting voices and creating a like minded hive of drones.

Great… and who will pay for it all???
That is the only question.

Bill O’Rile was right… people want STUFF for FREE!
Ok.. USA we hear your call… and WHO is going to pay????

The takers came out in force to continue their looting of the productive. It won’t last for long.

Haha. I’m having a good laugh here. First posts certainly get a lot of reaction :-)

There are almost no democrats posting to this thread. I may be the only one. The others have been out celebrating. You others have been sulking.

Therefore, Hitler must have been a liberal (according to your definition). Doesn’t that therefore make Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh marxists?

What a failure by Reuters to even hide their conservative bias. The Republicans are for big government too, just the kind that invades women’s privacy, people’s bedrooms and foreign countries.

Get over yourselves, and when you bring an option for actual smaller government that functions well and protects the people, you’ll get votes again.

as long as I get my free phone, I don’t care who pays for it!! The democratic establishment uses the same tactics 6th graders running for student council do (e.g. free stuff- candy, phones, whatever…) and the sad part is that 50% of the electorate falls for it… again and again- guess they are hoping that somehow it will turn out that this is all “free”…

The one thing in this article that struck me was “the nation’s first black president”…
That is not entirely true, Reuters. Do some research.
Perhaps they only look at skin color nowadays to determine if someone is black. Or maybe it was Obama’s southern accent.

U.S.S.A is coming.
