The real silver lining of the President winning reelection.

[RB TexLa]

As other two term presidents did, he can focus on foreign affairs in his second term no longer having to pander to voters for a future election.

1. It's be nice if he was voted in with a congress that can support him past KKKon filibusters

2. Sorry, but he's got work to do

on issues at home, too, assuming we can get a majority back in both the house and Senate at some point. ENDA and DOMA come to mind as well as more work on health care reform.

You see, he doesn't have to worry about reelection so he can go for broke. Unfortunately the House always has to worry about reelection so they will put a damper on things.

So expect some sort of painful compromise in order to get those issues dealt with in our favor, just like with DADT repeal. I, for one, am willing to pay the price for equal rights.

3. Which is why he will be able to focus on foreign policy
