Updated at 8:32 a.m. ET: LONDON -- World leaders from Mexico City to Beijing were quick to congratulate Barack Obama on his victory early Wednesday – but the re-elected president faces a slew of foreign policy challenges in his second term.
"I would like to congratulate re-elected President Barack Obama from the bottom of my heart," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told local television. "We know each other well and I am looking forward to our cooperation ... My heartfelt congratulations on this day today."
British Prime Minister David Cameron and Enrique Peña Nieto, president-elect of Mexico, both posted goodwill messages on Twitter.
Warm congratulations to my friend @barackobama. Look forward to continuing to work together.
— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) November 7, 2012
"It will give me great pleasure to congratulate him personally on my next visit to the United States and work together for the benefit of our countries," Pena Nieto said.

Bars and U.S. embassies threw election-night parties to watch the returns came in. At the Redhook American-themed restaurant in London, many stayed up until 4:30 a.m. local time (11:30 p.m. ET) to watch TV networks call the result for Obama.
"I think he's shown a sort of diplomacy and maturity that maybe under George W. Bush we didn't see," Chris Padden, a 27-year-old education worker, told NBC News. "I think we are hoping that he's going to show the same diplomacy over the next four years."

Campaigning with Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, voting and election results.
Ciaran McCafferty, 30, who works in finance, said: "It's still very exciting, even though it's not our election. The United States is a big player in the world and it's important for everyone's life."
Across the U.K. capital at the U.S. Embassy, one Mitt Romney supporter told NBC's Jim Maceda: "I'm incredibly sad. This has been very long and grueling ... We did every single thing we could."
At an election night party in Frankfurt, Germany, student Teresa Isigkeit said: "I am pretty positive that Obama is going to have a great second term and he is a great president, so that's all we were hoping for."
Dr. Martin Thunert, political analyst at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, added: "I think most people in Germany and many western European countries were hoping for the re-election of President Obama. What I think is important for many Europeans that banking regulations that Obama introduced a couple of years ago will continue. And some were afraid that a Romney administration would repeal that, so I think in that sense they are quite happy."
Watch the drama of election night quickly unfold in a three-minute montage of sights and sounds.
China's Foreign Ministry said President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiaobao phoned Obama to congratulate him. Vice President Xi Jinping, who is to begin taking over this week in China's once-a-decade leadership transition, phoned Vice President Joe Biden to congratulate him.
At a party at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, student Liu Xin, who is aged in her 30s, said watching the U.S. election was "like a window to learn U.S. politics."
"Personally, I'm in support of President Obama, because I feel himself is a symbol of realization of American dream," she told NBC News.
Special report: NBCNews.com's The World is Watching series
Zindzi Mandela, daughter of former South African President Nelson Mandela, told a party in Pretoria: "As a mother and as a grandmother who raises boy children, I think that the symbolism of having a black man occupy the highest office is something that can make my children very aspirational to know that this is possible, you know, in their lifetime."
In Cairo, retail manager Mohamed Hindawi, 42, stayed up half the night watching the results come in. "Really we are happy, it’s a very good morning," he said. "It’s a very good morning for all the Egyptians, not me, all the Egyptians. If I were in the states I would vote for Obama. All of my friends there they vote for him."
In Kogelo village in western Kenya, Obama's step-grandmother Sarah Obama congratulated her grandson on his victory. "Take the great job that people have given to you and lead them well. They have shown immense love to have voted for you," she said.

Kenyan villagers ride motorcycles and wave branches to celebrate Obama's re-election in the village of Kogelo, which is home to Barack Obama's step-grandmother on Wednesday.
However, NBC News' Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel said Obama should "enjoy his victory" now, adding:"Starting very soon, the rest of the world will be crashing down on the president’s doorstep.”
“You have the issue of Syria – a county that is imploding, and a conflict that could quickly spread to other countries in the region. You have the issue of Afghanistan, the war that is still ongoing. The expectation now is there will have to be a refocusing on Afghanistan to try and end that conflict.
“There are many Israelis who are not keen on Barack Obama – they did not want to see him elected,” Engel added.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has had a strained relationship with the American president over his policies on Iran and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, congratulated the president in a text message to reporters. "I will continue to work with President Obama to preserve the strategic interests of Israel's citizens," he said.
Top 10 foreign policy issues facing Obama
Would a Romney victory have made a difference to the situation in Afghanistan? Not much, according to Daoud Sultanzoy, political analyst in Kabul. "The bottom line would have been the same, I think - just their style of management would have been different.
"Mr. Obama...said some things that were good but he didn’t do them, he didn’t fulfill his commitments when it came to transparencies, when it came to credibility of both side’s commitment and accountability. He just paid lip service in the past four years and that has damaged the Afghan people."
NBC's Tom Brokaw discusses the unlikely story of President Barack Obama's path to the White House and a second term as president.
In Iran, with whom relations are tense because of Tehran's nuclear program, the semiofficial Fars news agency rolled out the vivid headline, "Republican's elephant crushed by Democrat's donkey."
Professor Cyrus Izadi, from the department of social science at Tehran University, told NBC News: "There are two camps in Iran. One camp favored Romney because historically the Republicans have been less successful in putting Iran under pressure and they are unlikely to start a war so they would have been better for Iran. Another camp feels that the Republicans are serious about starting a conflict with Iran and it would be better to have Obama leading America because he does not have an appetite for war."
Engel speculated that Obama may seek to use his second term to attempt an Arab-Israeli peace deal to secure his legacy, even though he has already been awarded the Nobel Prize for peace.
However, NBC Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell said: "I don't think he's got the opportunity. It has really died on the vine - you don't have the leadership on either side committed on this. I would be really surprise if they could find a way. It is clear this president is going to have to visit Israel, which he didn't do in his first term... and repair damage with Jewish Americans."
Israel gives muted congrats; the Taliban says Obama and Romney are pretty much the same enemy, to continue to fight.

The election result made some late editions of European newspapers. "OBAMA WINS" ran the giant front-page headline in the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph.
NBC News' Andy Eckardt, Ali Arouzi, Ed Flanagan, Michelle Kosinski, Charlene Gubash, Atia Abawi, F. Brinley Bruton, Shanshan Dong, Michele Neubert, Peter Jeary and Alastair Jamieson contributed to this report.

The Americans seem more concerned with foreign policy than their own domestic issues...
Warren-1380094===What foreign policy we have none? What domestic policy we have none of that either. We have a President that won an election with idea how we are going to move forward and people actually voted for that.
Headline translation:
"World leaders welcome Obama's 2nd term - " ---- The line starts to your left. Don't stick your hand out until you reach the head of the line.
"but many challenges wait on his doorstep." ---- These are mostly the same challenges that were waiting on his doorstep in November, 2008. That baby needs a bigger bassinet.
@ denver:
GLOAT!!! GLOAT!!! GLOAT!!!
Your bitterness is especially sweet this morning ;-)
I'm guessing that "Neener, neener, neener!" works much better for you in the schoolyard. I might be hurt, if only (1) I were several decades younger, and (2) I valued your opinion.
(Note to IA Scooter Tramp: The flak monkey bait you sold me works pretty well. However, my wife won't let me keep it in the refrigerator, due to the smell.)
RIP America...
Hello Europe!!
denver bill 2,
"I'm guessing that "Neener, neener, neener!" works much better for you in the schoolyard."
Don't feel too bad! You guys will have your chance again in 2016. I just hope you find a better candidate next time.
YAY! It is a good day in America. This boiled down to good vs. evil. Mitt Romney and his lies didn't fool the rest of us. We knew that he cared nothing for the people...only money and power. President Obama will succeed if the House and Senate work with him. Let's hope they do this time and our lives are not wasted due to greed and politics.
Seems these "World Leaders" forgot what they said last year about Mr. Obama.
Such a short memory span.
Yep, bring on Mrs. Clinton in 2016. Her resume will ensure her defeat (Whitewater and Benghazi ring a bell ?).
Maybe now Mr. Obama will come clean on his college transcripts/student records, "Fast and Furious", promises to Russia, and Benghazi. Nah, "Man on Five" Chicago politics will continue for the next 4 years with him signing an unprecedented number of Executive Orders to get his agenda through.
Got FOX??
Thought so.
Now, get a life!!
Obama's foreign policy views are to take more vacations with his family to foreign destinations.He needs those vacations so that he can keep on apologizing for America.
Obama's re-election drove a stake through the heart of the right-wing in the US (or the spot a heart would normally be,lol). But I see from some posts here,they are still squirming in a death throes.
Except for Israel!

ISRAELI OFFICIAL: ‘WE WILL NOT CAPITULATE BEFORE OBAMA.’ Warns president’s reelection means Jewish state must ‘take care of its own’
Amazed how many people wore black today....mourning the death of America as we knew it!
Headlights on for the funeral procession too!
Obama's words - "the best is yet to come." Too bad we have to wait another 4 years in order for that to happen!!
....when Hillary Clinton is president!
SadDay4Sure-962620
Crying will help! Besides, that's all you can do!
Why don't you just get over it? Do you clowns ever stop?
Can you imagine how much better off this country would be IF there was a little cooperation from the Right? Conservatives need to drop the drama and get behind Obama and get this country recover, instead of pissin' & moanin' for another 4 years.
at Stevoh75: AMEN! I could not have sait it better myself! I think Repubs did a whole lot of whining that Obama didn't do anything last term (I disagree), but think how much he might have been able to do had the repubs in congress not tried to block his every move? And, before anyone calls me a libbie (not that I care), I'm not a democrat either. I'm an independent, who happens to think that the President has been trying his best to fix Bush's monumental mess, trying to cross party lines and make compromises.
...and the president did it with maturity, class, graciousness...he was the consumate grown up in the room, he never made a fool out of himself and personally I believe Romney was set up in the first debate as a political strategy to let him hang himself high. He did as and megalomaniac would. America needs to thank God that a man who is owned by the corporations, banks on foreign soil, hates women, etc has lost to one of the greatest presidents we've ever had and if the color of his skin were white instead of black, more Americans would support him. IMPORTANT: that 49% that did not vote for Obama? Too many of them are the remnants of a bygone day, filled with fear of the future, into slurs, race baiting, want women barefoot and pregnant and under a man's control. Romney and Ryan? Dangerous people who got what they deserved proving all the money in the world can not defeat the American spirit of freedom. Congrats to THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We love you Mr. President, Sir.
He made a fool out of the American public. His public demeanor bears no resemblance to his vile private agenda.
Denver Bill's words: "The best has come and gone." Everyone on this site, regardless of political persuasion, can say, "I lived in the United States when they were at the height of their power."
Cry baby.
I don't understand the Republicans who think trash-talking to the Democrats is going to get liberals to vote for their party. The way to encourage voters is to court them, not diss them every chance you get. I'm an Independent who leans liberal, and the nearly-obscene way liberals were pictured by the Republicans here disgusted me. There is no way I want people like that representing me or having control over my life.
If you really, truly care about this country, you will stand behind the President and try to make it better. WE found out the last four years that the GOP and some on the right just butted heads and didn't do anything at the cost of the American people. That is wrong. And for all of you dissing the President, as you have been doing for 4 years should be ashamed of yourselves. We are all in this together. We are all Americans. If you don't want to cooperate and help your fellow countrymen...the get out.
Diverdown1 -
Well said my Friend.
Ben
I will stand behind the President by going to work and working my 45+ hours a week to pay my taxes so those that don't want to work can enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Keep it up Mr. President.
mikeo46,The real clowns will be crying when they realize that they should have fired the person who has had four years to make some headway domestically.He didn't have time to do this because he was too busy taking vacations,going on the talk show circuit and apologizing for Americans.
@ just a cleaning lady...better check you facts...President Obama took far less vacations than Buchwacker did. Obama spent 61 days during his frist 31 months in office on vacation, Bush 180, and Clinton 28.
always get a kick out of the libs thinking it is the Republicans that need to do all the compromising. You guys are classic. How about we hand the country over to you so you can destroy and socialize it all with a red ribbon on a silver platter. Will that work for ya??
plsthink90-always get a kick out of the libs thinking it is the Republicans that need to do all the compromising. You guys are classic. How about we hand the country over to you so you can destroy and socialize it all with a red ribbon on a silver platter. Will that work for ya??
Well I don't know about the other Liberals here.But your idea works for me,thanks,lol.
Yes I voted for Romney and yes I was pretty upset, however it is what it is. Not much I can do. But for those who are acting like six year olds out on the playground because you won the game does not mean much either. Do you really think you would not be doing the exact same thing if Romney did win?
If the repubs can kill their teaparty cancer and find a way to not scare the begeezes out of minorities and women, they will be able to compete for their consevative ideals. That would be a healthy thing for the country,
Right now they are acting like nit wits......
Iran can take a breather now that their friend Obama has four more years. The secret meetings that grant them a bomb and middle east domination has been secured. Russia can now begin their expansion for the old USSR and Chevez has free reign to continue his Marxist domination of South America. Socialist all across the world are celebrating today because America is on fast track to becoming a Marxist Socialist State.
patriotson,
You know, I used to think all that crap was said just for the election. Obviously, it's not a game. You really believe that B.S.!
You are a total whack job. Can you substantiate any of your ridiculous claims? I thought not.
The word socialism continues to be thrown around. What it boils down to is LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF...that came from Jesus. Helping those in need and making sure they have BASIC needs met, is not socialism. It is called empathy and compassion. Try it...
To Diverdown1,
I totally agree with you my friend.
Diverdown1,It is called socialism. Loving your neighbor does not mean to support them when they choose to be shiftless.Did deeper in that good book of yours.
There are more people who are desperate to work than are lazy and shiftless ,as you hatefull envious and supporters of the 1%plus of the population like to claim. The illegal immigrants and the many hopeful foreigners prove that, why don't you drop your stupid,hateful and false claims.That rubish that you all like to spout is believed by no-one but your like who are determined to find a lower class of humans than you. It won't happen!
just a cleaning lady-Did deeper in that good book of yours.
I'd suggest you look closer. Jesus Christ,feeding the masses,and healing the sick.I don't recall a cash register setup there to charge them. Not even to mention, the chasing the money changers out of the Temple with a whip. All sounds pretty Socialist to me,lol.
SadDay4Sure-962620===Yeah ya right!! The people that voted for Obama have no clue what is about to happen in this country. The "Financial Cliff" is right around the corner. Lord help us!! We will need all the help we can get.
Guess you forgot that it was your guys who created the mess? And you conservatives were so clever that you wanted to hand it back to them to "fix" -- using the policies that screwed us in the first place!! You should be thanking your lucky stars that the liberals saved you from yourself yet again. Now go back to burning your science books.
and you have a clue and know all about what is going to happen now, right? OR are you just regurgitating what your so-called leaders have fed you? Same old crap,OH he's gonna take away our guns, OH he's attacking our religion, OH he's Muslim, or is that a Communist? or Socialist? Fascist? The short age of the Tea Baggers is almost extinct guys, we need moderates that will truly work acrosss the isles, otherwise this country will be like a see-saw, swinging back and forth every four or eight years, each undoing what the previous administration has done.
Again, Stevoh75, well said!
The donkey crowd caused the subprime collapse. The donkey crowd points a hoof at everyone else. The donkey crowd has no shame. BLECHHH.
Agreed. Bush ran the car into a ditch. And Obama has spent four years sitting in it and spinning the wheels.
(Double tap)
Righturn: YOU'RE the one that has no shame. You're a loser, still spewing the (false) hate-message on here instead going back to Faux and Rush - you're nothing more than a minority nut-job.
The REAL PEOPLE have spoken: AND THEY'VE SAID - NO MORE LIES.
@ denver : Even while the Left has tried to push the car out of the ditch, the Right in Congress have piled up to concertedly hold the car in place, preventing its extrication.
Maybe Denver bill and righturn should move out of this country. They obviously hate what America stands for.
Hmmmm ...... that must be the evil Republicans that control one half of one third of the government you are talking about.
car in the ditch? A little mild for the analogy.
Try . . . put the country into an economic tail spin. Oops, not an analogy.
Work toward what? More debt? More erosion of liberty? More taxation? The ultimate goal is a one world government and monetary system and Barack Obama is leading us into it by driving us to our financial knees. We are ripe for a corporate takeover....there will be no fight, we will simply be bought through the purchase of our debt.
The people who have spoken for Obama loud and clear will be but a whisper a year from now.We'll see then who will actually admit to voting for him.
Have you guys noticed that the elections these right-wingers are able to win,are the Gerrymandered Congressional Districts. But the Senate or Presidential mass elections are the one's they have a problem winning.
The right wing wackos are out this morning. I wonder if they slept good last night? When they sober up they will understand the error of their ways. Get over it. 4 more 4 44.
No - they won't. Because the problem with them is that you can bring out the REAL FACTS and they would rather IGNORE THEM and continue on with what they want to BELIEVE.
It's been an apparent problem for the last ten years +. Blame EVERYTHING that the Rwing did WRONG when they were in power on someone else, complain they didn't fix it, lie cheat and steal but point to the other side and say that they are doing it, disregard ALL current fact and keep spewing the same old LIES.
I'm getting to understand finally that a small minority of this country is too damn DUMB to 'sober up'. They CANNOT think for themselves because it's too difficult when the facts don't fit what they want to believe. They just keep eating off the spoon that's fed them: NO BRAINS, NO FACTS, only "feelings" and "beliefs". I am pretty certain that their disease will be diagnosed someday, hopefully before anyone else catches it. The only GOOD thing about that disease is that there seem to be less and less of them to spread the cancer.
Now, however, they should go back to their Rwing cites and leave the rest of us in PEACE.
WE DIDN'T BELIEVE THE LIES, WE WON'T BELIVE THE LIES, SO STOP REPEATING THE SAME OLD LIES.
We voted for Rmney and slept just fine.I'm sorry that he lost but life goes on.Obama is the wrong choice but our lives will go on regardless of who the figurehead is in America.I'm 61 and 4 years of more failure isn't going to affect me.Those from 40 years old on down,now that's another story.I cant wait to be out and about spending my hard earned money and Social Security check in a few years while listening to the younger generation crying over how awful a socialistic government is.
They say God Bless America, it needs to be God SAVE America.l
god wanted Cain, Bachmann and Santorum to win, remember?
god is a loser, too. He couldn't even save his own hand-picked candidates.
Bachman won troll.
You are a cry baby. Hopely GOD will save you.
Robert..you have that statement backwards.
LOL. I know that's right. Tough !$&#, Israel.
Yeah, Netanyahu's comment was very telling: "I will continue to work with President Obama to preserve the strategic interests of Israel's citizens." While every other ally was saying how they would be working together for mutual interests, he showed his true character -- he only cares about what Israel can get from the US. He's a jerk, in the mold of Junior.
President Obama is a great friend of Israel's and will contiue to be, as he knows Israel is the only true friend of the US's in terms of protecting Judeo- Christian values in that part of the world.Would Mitt have been better? Maybe, but that doesn't matter now. Now Argo@@@@ yourself
a good amount of Americans didn't want R/R ticket winning either, so???
TPack - why should America care if Judeo-Christian values are preserved in the Muslim world? Shut off all diplomatic relations with the entire region, give them 15-20 years to let them "sort it out" and let the dust settle, and then see about letting them re-enter the 21st century.
tpack get your head out of the sand. Obama hates Israel.
There will now be another war because Israel will see no choice but to go it alone.
I don't think so tracy....Isreal is smarter than that.... sanctions still has a good chance to stop a terrible war, whereas a unilateral preemptive attack will guarantee an even worse war.
Be afraid....Be very afraid
Nah....the tea baggers are getting weaker and weaker....mid-term elections will finish them off so I'm not even slightly afraid...but I do appreciate your concern for me.
I was really afraid until this morning. But THE AMERICAN PEOPLE RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OBAMA and now things will be much better. Shew...
HALF of the American people elected him......I am in the 50% who did not.
NJ...now's the time to come to the light and be part of the American way. I am sooo glad Our President was re-elected. He will now get to be credited with saving the economy as well as leaving it in great shape for the candidate that will win in 2016. It definitely won't be anywhere near the mess he inherited in 2008.
New Pledge of Allegiance:
Fellow Comrades, I will do my duty as a Subservient Maggot to the Communist Government of America, and to its leader, The Lord of the Flies.
Just think...if The Lord of the Flies gets impeached for the Lying and COVER-up of the Libya massacre..Biden would be president....That is certainly a good insurance policy for NoBama..aka The Lord of the Flies
Yep, Biden might forget who he is and start acting like President Regan.
r.beachiz
I don't think you have to worry about that. bush didn't get impeached for Lying and COVER-up of the 9-11 attack that killed over 3,000 AMERICANS. Or the Lying and COVER-up of why we had the Iraq war that killed of over 4,000 AMERICANS.
Alcoa called. Your hat is ready.
Reagan was only able to push his agenda through due to surviving an assassination attempt. He really wasn't getting much done until after that. Having said that, whether or not that agenda was the correct course is still up for debate.
If the Congress HOR tries that BS,the Senate will slap them down. Then in 2014 there will be a Democratic landslide. Some of you rightie's missed the message of last night. The American people want bi-partisan co-operation. And will take a savage revenge on the party that tries to block that.
denver
I see they still have you on speed dial.
The headline, "the best is yet to come" scares the hell out of me
Sorry to hear of your mental condition....It must be really difficult to type on your laptop with the covers pulled over your head while in bed. You might want to go see a Doctor though because the battery on your laptop will eventually die out.
Great-another four years of record spending and high unemployment, just wait until the military job cuts takes place and the unemployment rate goes over 10%. Wonder who we are going to blame for that? The USA is totally divided now and there is no middle ground.
I am for letting the Obama tax cuts expire and all the other thing the democrat have convinced the followers that they will not let happen.
Ok senate how about going to work?
I will be ugring my congressman to not bend until the democrats bend.
The real good news is that this marks the official end of the republican party. They couldn't beat a black man for president TWICE!! All comments by right wingers are now totally irrelevant until they can create a new party void of mentally challenged candidates who think rape is a blessing from God.
can you say racist?
Good post Comrade..were you one of the ones that got raped at the Occupy protests..or just one of the people at the Drug Overdose tents?
Don't feed the trolls...
His real challenge will be to park Golf Cart One and actaully go to work.
How can you spot a democrat?
Look for the guy without elbows.
He always has this hand out and can't wipe his own a...
My sympathies for your loss....my heartfelt congratulations to the President AND America!
Way past time to curb the atrocities of US MASTER, CHOSEN ISRAEL! Stop glamorizing the ATROCITIES of Israel & financing the US Jew-controlled Imperial Military of our for-sale governments that denies US Gentiles, among hundreds of other services, Universal Health so it can develop ever more deadly weaponry to subjugate all other peaceful humans to the will of the CHOSEN Jews and kill another 2 million Arabs, M.E. Christians and Moslems just in Iraq and Afghanistan. US tail maintains that MASTER, BARBARIC Israel mUSt maintain its hegemony over Arabs even through their traitorous kings who were installed by Imperial US-U.K!! Enough! In all of book 19 of Deuteronomy, a racist ‘God’ calls Jews CHOSEN (in 200+ Biblical passages), gives them the heavily populated ‘land of Milk and Honey’ of ancient Semitic Palestinians and Arabs and sanctions the killing of ALL the peoples Israelites conquered including Arabs, Palestinians, Samaritans, Sumerians etc! This comes after 10 centuries of re-writing of the Bible to sanitize the image of a vindictive, psychopathic God who is childishly obsessed with forcing ‘His creation’ to ‘worship’ Him rather than asking mankind to be equanimous and recognize the equal rights of others! ALL US Presidents (and 90% Jew Congress) since Jew FDR’s time (incldng half-Jew W. Churchill) were Jews or converts from Judaism, married to Jewesses or have Jew blood in them incldng Mr Obama! If you want peace, negate CHOSEN Israel and recognize the equal rights of Israel’s victims!
Heil Tourian!
Sorry you weren't chosen. But I am, and it feels greeeeeeat!
Not a black man. Obama is half black. I thought blacks didn't like half breeds
They like being subservient slaves to their Gub-mint Master..if they can get their Welfare Check
I don't like the policies his white half believes in either.
lol...and the right wing nuts say they have no racial prejudice... ha ha .... Thanks for proving the left's accusations.
Please someone tell me what Obama has done for them. Please be specific.
I know what he did for our Ambassador in Libya, and the Seals that requested back-up...and were left to get massacred by what is supposed to be a Commander-in-Chief..The new term for him is Lord of the Flies
It is a ridiculous notion that the President of the United States has to do something for YOU specifically.
50% Obama, 48% Romney - plurality, not majority, narrow Democrat majority in the Senate, simple Republican majority in the House. Question - Has a sitting President ever won re-election without a majority of popular vote? I don't think so.
Prediction: The next four years will be just as partisan as the last four.
Quite true. The house passes bills and the senate will not even debate them. The senate trys to write bills but the law says they are first written in the house then the senate can create a similar bill and then they reconcile them. At that point it goes to the house for approval and then to the senate.
The senate controlled by the democrats and Harry Reed have been AWOL for the last 2 years. No Senate budget in going on 4 years.
Of course they're excited - people re-elected a person who kowtows to all of them. Thankfully the obstructionst House will prevent him from pushing his leftist agenda.
Ah, but Hairy Reid's ploy to change the Senate's filibuster rules will allow them to ratify all of the UN treaties they have been waiting to sneek in. Once this happens we will be bound by them as if they carried the full weight of law. Case in point;
New Pledge of Allegiance:
Fellow Comrades, I will do my duty as a Subservient Maggot to the Communist Government of America, and to its leader, The Lord of the Flies.
All hail the Chicago Cummunist victory. They have plans for us don't you know.
Now The Lord of the Flies can follow through on his statement to Putin...He obviously has all the flexibility to sell out America now, with the support of all of his fellow Comrades...Excuse me, his subservient Comrades
ah well...this election just confirms the fact that the majority of Americans are easy to con....better hold on to your wallets, here comes the pain again...the fiscal cliff is looming much closer now and there is no way to avoid it with this buffoon on his soapbox.
You are exactly correct...It is a Mathematical Certainty, now that we KNOW there are enough votes in the Majority to vote for Fiscal Suicide
cv - beach: Your right wing ignorance is showing. 50% is not a majority.
Forward... to the cliff
The stock market is going to be in the toilet today. Say good bye to your 401K and other investments
Obama's people don't have 401's, they have BO to protect them. The fun has only begun.
Which is exactly why 401 Ks should not be called or used for pensions!!!! They do not provide like a pension was designed to and they are risky. People can't even balance their own check books. How are they supposed to manage a 401 K?!?? So run from any politician who wants to convert defined pension systems into 401 Ks
Why don't all you white racists go back to where you came from - Europe!
Look around!! You're no longer a part of the American melting pot! You have been left behind.
We are all Comrades now, in subservience to our Master, The Lord of the Flies
Hey dipstick. I happen to be part Native American. Seems like Indians were here first. Africa...need I say more ? And no, I am not racist. I just call it as I see it. Master Joseph? Hmm....
"Part Native American" .... and let me guess ..... part Cherokee correct? No neocon wants to profess to being part of any of those 'other' tribes...I think it has something to do with all those John Wayne movies they grew up with.
