Obama is very skilled at disarming or neutering his enemies. But if your understanding goes beyond his smile and steady voice you'll understand what will happen to America now. The permanently immature, the serious-looking silly judges Obama and his lefties favor on the Supreme Court will become a reality. There are few if any threats to America more serious than deconstructing and misinterpreting our Constitution. Respect for the Constitution has held America together for 232 years. How long did it take America to unpack the Roosevelt courts? Decades. We KNOW Obama is going to pack the courts again. He needs to pack the courts. There are too many disagreements between the Bill of Rights and the Communist Manifesto - his working model, not to have to pack the courts. He won't wait for the judges who respect the Constitution to die. The Constitution is alternately a play thing, a worthless piece of paper, a tool of convenient authority when they can twist it's meaning and propagandize former precedent.

The Supreme Court if the golden treasure they have captured. The only other threats to America of equal danger I can think of is immediately disarming and standing down the Armed Forces and all other organs or bodies which will impede his grip on power. The Borg is here.

I do hope that both parties keep in mind why they lost and why they won. That needed change that Obama hypes and what Americans want and need put him in the White House. Well, That first big change would be to get America out of the World's Policing Role. Both Parties share the blame for the sad state that America now finds itself in, and there's plenty of blame to go around. Do hope that Mr. Obama isn't A Robin Hood who steals from the rich and the poor And I would keep this in mind, if I were him. He is the elected Caretaker of a great nation,elected by the people to serve the people. And should he fail to serve the people,then he too,can and will be deposed in due time.

I too didn't vote as I am tired of Bush-ism And the Obama BS and Little Substance Platform was a turn-off for this old man,who has seen too many conmen

come down the pike.

Obama has won and this causes me great concern. I respect the man and believe he will attempt to do "right" as he sees it. My concerns are his liberal leanings and liberal record. Mr. Obama does not seem to understand that we must have productive people as the core for our society. We shall not enjoy economic success if we develop a welfare state. I oppose his goal of increasing taxes on the "wealthy." His targets for more money are mostly hard working, successful small business people. To punish their success with increased taxes is lunacy. The tax burden in the USA is already too high and the government has been out of control on spending for decades. Better to reign in the politicians and substantially reduce government spending and welfare (at all economic levels). I also fear his stand on constitutional rights, especially in regard to the second amendment. There has been a long and successful battle against Democrats to erode our right to bear arms. We must not allow politicians to "steal" our constitutional rights again.
