It was a big night for the Democrats. Obama won by large margins, they added to their Majorities in both the House and Senate.
Now what? What can we expect? Will it be a Left Wing agenda? More middle of the road?
I think that the Country will be watching with a great deal of angst. Obama won with 62,532,271 votes to McCains 55,454,540 or 52% to 46%. Each and every decision he makes will be analyzed to see if he is falling in line with Reid and Pelosi or working Bipartisan.
He owes a great debt to the Left Wing of his party. They in a large part got him to the White House. He also owes a great debt to the African American Community, without them he wouldn't have won. He received 95% of their votes.
He only need to look at history to guide him. Clinton had a majority and lost that quickly when it appeared he was pushing their agenda. Bush had a majority and lost it. It is very difficult to have a sing Party control system. A majority of Americans do not support that. Obama will have two (2) years to prove himself before the American People will once again decide. That is when the American People will let him know what they think. They can sweep out the Democratic House and Senate and stale mate him, much as they have Bush.
A key to watch over the next few weeks will be the Stock Market. If they think taxes are going to increase quickly the Stock will fall.
Another key is to watch is the House and Senate. If they feel like they have President Obama in their corner they will drive through bill after bill, ready for him to sign on day one. Watch to see what they entail.
