Now all he (and many of you here) has to do is realize the election is over and it is actually time to govern. The easy part is over, the hard has only just begun. He now has 24 months to show he can make a difference before we look at the balance of power again. Watch the congressional approval rating. If they don't improve, there will be another shake up. I wish him luck, he's going to need it.
Come on, what logical reason could you possibly have for owning an assault rifle outside of collecting them?

Wow, how insightful. I'm sure Obama (and many of us here) never realized he would actually have to govern. I'll alert the media.
I think if we just actually enforce and prosecute the 20,000+ gun laws already on the books, that would be a good start.

Yes, please... I was simply impressed with turnout and involvement this year.
I had the worst election day ever. No, seriously.
I woke up bright and early and stood in line before the polls opened in Warren, MI. I used to go to MSU (Michigan State University) and my original voter registration is there 1.5 hours away in East Lansing. I transferred my registration to Warren, but not in time says the voting lady. Sigh...
Since it would go against my very core values not to vote, I decide to pack into my car and high-tail it to EL. On the way, almost there, literally ONE EXIT away from getting off the freeway, my car breaks down and will not start again. I have it towed (for $92) to a mechanic. I then have my friend pick me up and drive me to the polls where my actual voting experience went smoothly.
Then the mechanic calls me up.
My engine is ruined, anti-freeze leaked into certain parts (the bearings were mentioned exclusively) and I need a new engine. I have to pay $80 for the inspection and another $315 to have it towed to my uncle's shop to get the new engine on the cheap. I then have to wait for my g/f's step dad to get off work and come pick us up. We have hours to kill and cannot go inside because we brought the dog.
Told you it was the worst ever, haha! XD
interesting, since in 2004 I walked in and out with no line at the same time. Poll workers commented on it too.As it turns out, voter turn out this year was the same or only slightly higher than in 2004. Newly registered and Young voters only accounted for ~17% of the electorate nationwide.
That huge voter turnout? Didn't happen - U.S. Politics & Elections - Politico.com - MLive.com
