CHICAGO — Only hours after the thunderous ovations ended and President Obama had managed a short night’s sleep, the challenges beyond his hard-won victory quickly eclipsed the sights and sounds of a raucous celebration.
America’s longest war, in Afghanistan, has not ended. The nuclear ambitions of Iran remain a threat. The economy is still struggling, the federal debt has not evaporated — and the bitter divisions that continue to hobble the country need to be bridged.

Not only everything said below by System, but they have started killing rich white people and installing Welfare Queens in their homes after distributing all their money to black and Hispanic people and illegal immigrants. Boy...the Tea Party was right! Trump was, of course, the first to go!
Pres. Obama was the one who caused this division in the country, so lets see how many more years he can blame Pres. Bush and ATM machines for our fiscal and other problems.
The only good news is that he returns to a tanking economy . . . which he and the press corp lied about rebounding!

Unable to find solutions in the past 4 years! Obama hasn't learned how - BUT - ahhhh . . . another 4 years living in Washington, AIRFORCE 1, living off the stupid tax-paying Americans. Life is good.
Who is the party going to blame it on now?

The fact of the matter is that Obama won reelection. All you Globe commenters who've been predicting his political demise for the past four years: you've got egg on your faces, even though you don't seem to realize it. Wake up and smell the coffee: you're out of step with your countrymen and all your clever barbs and moaning and crying "wolf" isn't going to change that nor will it contribute to dealing with the nations problems.
What's his plan?
You mean we elected a President with no plans and no solutions? How the *&#@ did that happen?
Mr President, I hope you reach across the isle to heal the wounds. Your slogan Blame Bush got old. You did nothning to help the economy except bail out GM and do you realize the stock holders got ripped off on that one. GM paid back some its debt but the stock holders never got there money back. They lost there butts. To clarify a point I do not invest in the stock market not everyone that invests in the stock market is RICH. This election was close look at the popular vote. I vote every chance I get and the electoral college does not tell the whole story my example I live in a state right now with a small population, I sometimes wonder if my vote counts. I am a middleclass citizen 67 years old and I still work for a living. I plan on retiring but this Health Bill you passed is going to hurt me finacially. Enough said Mr President you need an attitude adjustment and I hope you follow through with your promise to try and help this country please do not push your IDEOLOGY to try and socialize this country. It does not take a rocket scientist to realize that European style politics does not work. Please govern from the center and read the constitution.
