How will the second Obama term be different from the first? [View all]
If the Republicans maintain control of Congress, is there anything he can do differently? Should we simply brace ourselves for more of the same? Will he continue to try and compromise with the insane part of the Republican Party? What can we realistically expect to happen in the next four years of the second Obama Administration?
Will he shake up his Cabinet? Should he? How long before the troops are out of Afghanistan? Will we slide back into a double-dip recession or will we begin to recover? Will government programs continue to be cut? Will the huge deficits begin to subside? Will not much of it depend on how Congress continues to govern?
What if the Democrats take back the House and maintain control of the Senate? Will that make a difference or will the Repubs continue to throw monkeywrenches into the workings of government? Will the Senate finally change the 60-votes rule for continued debate but keep the filibuster at 66 votes? What changes would you anticipate in a second Obama Administration?
