People are looking at the consequences of Obama re-election, watching more people lose their jobs, their retirement, and their spendable income. Conservatives are looking for answers as to how, why, what. Mostly they are comisserating with each other. And the bad news keeps rolling in...
What We Lost in This Election, by Daniel Greenfield, is a fine article if you are looking for consolation after Barack Obama's victory. Here are the last two paragraphs:
Romney ran an effective enough campaign, but it was the campaign that he
needed to run, not the one that the country needed. And now that it's
over, we are back where we need to be, fighting the good fight. We have
the opportunity to organize and radicalize, to bring together growing
numbers of people around opposition to everything that the Democratic
Party has come to stand for. That is something we could not have done
under a President Romney. It is something that we can only do while in
the opposition.
And equally importantly, we once again have the opportunity to mobilize
and transform the party. That opportunity may be more than the answer to
winning the next election. It may be the means of saving this country.

Obama Calls Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President After Winning Re-Election…
And just a few weeks ago Morsi was shown on state-run TV clearly mouthing “amen” when an imam prayed for Allah to “destroy the Jews and their supporters.”
Via WaPo:
A tradition of American presidential elections is that the winner gets congratulatory phone messages from many foreign heads of state. It’s pro forma diplomacy, but it can be revealing in who the president-elect (or, in this case, the sitting president about to serve his second term) chooses to call back, or not call back.
The White House just put out a press release of which world leaders got return calls from President Obama, all of which it says he made personally and this morning. The list is a little bit surprising: Obama called four Middle Eastern heads of state, three European, two Latin American (but not Mexico!), plus Canada, India and Australia. Conspicuously absent: the East Asian states to which the Obama administration has been pivoting.
It is interesting that Obama called Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, the democratically elected leader and Muslim Brotherhood ally who is also a source of some wariness in U.S. security circles. That would seem to suggest a degree of at least interest in high-level engagement with the new Egypt.
The U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Smith, told the Arabic news outlet Asharq Al-Awsat that American foreign policy will now change, especially as it pertains to Saudia Arabie, Palestinians, Israel, after President Barack Obama’s reelection. We already know Obama will change his policies pertaining to Russia now that he has won another 4 years. (Via Weekly Standard:)

Latest Newsweek Cover Depicts Obama As Napoleon….
Newsweek Cover: “GOP: You’re Old, You’re White, You’re History”
Via Newsweek:
The post-election issue of Newsweek hits newsstands and tablets tomorrow morning. On it, a very Napoleonic-looking Barack Obama stands triumphantly with sabre under the cover line, “The Obama Conquest.”
“Give me generals who know something about tactics and strategy,” Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “but best of all give me generals who are lucky.”
So the question: Is Obama a lucky general—or master of the game? Daniel Klaidman’s cover story, Fortunate One, says sure, Obama’s lucky. But he also relentlessly seizes his chances and makes every one of them count.

After Obama Re-elected Benghazi Investigation Suddenly Picks Up Steam

Saw that Newsleak pic of Obama at the Blaze...wondered if they weren't able to find a communist general's uniform as a model (snark).
As to the aftermath, well, I agree with Sultan Knish - unless we're ready to fight, and put forward a candidate who's ready to fight, we're going to be toast in every election from now on (or, for those elections we'll still be allowed to have).
Yeah...I'm a little pessimistic.

Watched that video of those young people saying Israel is Over..just proof that "some" people are not far removed from primates, and proof that the Democrat Party has become the party of extremists and closely resembles the Nazis of yesterday
Chris Christie is an A-Hole, and if the fat sack of manure decides he's gonna run in 2016 , we must do all we can to stop the turd.
I'm so angry at him for cuddling up to Hussein that he made a-hole of the month at my blog.
Me thinks we should allow this entire system to collapse.
give the Liberal a-holes what they want, and then stand back and watch the sparks fly.
Then when people have had enough of the hussein dictatorship they will be so disgusted with the Democrat Party it may just be their demise.
......I've been wishing a lot these past few days.
One thing is for certain, we are moving to a red state where like minded people are the majority.
Let the Liberals live in their gimmeee , gimmmeee states and starve.

The current day democrap party is an unAmerican collection of scum, fraud, and deceit. Tea Party, rev up to take it to the party of scum fraud and deceit in the 2014 mid-terms, just as you did in 2010.
