Well, as Glen Beck said today, elections have consequences and people are going to start experiencing them fairly soon. Any predictions for the America of the immediate future...
--what happened in Bhengazi no longer matters or will be covered, even if it is investigated in the house. The men who lost their lives will be more quickly forgotten than they were before the election.
--the first to feel the effect of this election will be the hurricane survivors. The second the President's photo op was over his concern for them was over. Now, with the election done, he has no need to actually do anything to help them anymore. The press will either ignore the mounting problems, or they will simply report it as interesting stories, with no connection to the President, unlike Bush and katrina.
--recession after january or before as tax increases hit, then a slide into depression
--the energy boom states, the ones using frakking to get at oil and natural gas will dry up because the obama e.p.a. will now come after them.
--fuel costs are going to, as the President said, "skyrocket." That means less money in everyones pocket, and if you live in a cold state, next winter is going to be the first of many where fuel will be an issue
--increased unemployment as taxes increas, fuel costs increase, healthcare costs increase as more people loose their employee based healthcare.
--Russia, China and radical islam will become far more aggressive. Europe, especially the former soviet satellites, will begin to feel the heat as will Japan, South Korea, and the countries under the Chinese sphere of influence.
--as the U.S. slides into depression, the rest of the world will follow it.
For example, it begins...

--after obama appoints the new supreme court judges, religous freedoms, private property rights and gun rights will come under judicial attack. Forget getting rid of the patriot act, for all those who hated Bush for it, it will be increased and have judicial backing.
Let's see over the next four years how I do with these predictions, shall we?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 250 points in the first hour of trading on Wednesday morning, the day after President Barack Obama won re-election to a second term in office. News of poor economic forecasts in Europe also drove the steep decline; the European Union is now predicting that it will slide into recession.
European markets had actually greeted the Obama win with a brief rise, before economic reality set in. Growth is too slow in the U.S.--an anemic 2% at best, driven largely by third-quarter defense acquisitions--to take up the slack in the global economy. With the U.S. headed toward a fiscal cliff, and the balance of power in Washington essentially unchanged, with the president promising more tax hikes, markets see little reason for optimism.
