"One should doubtless keep an open mind...though open at both ends, like the food pipe, and have a capacity for excretion as well as intake." -- Northrop Frye, 'The Great Code'
Since Obama never defined what, exactly he was going to do in his second term (except perhaps to have more "flexibility" with the Russians), there is nothing that he has a mandate to do.
Kraythammer makes some good points. The man is a very astute political observer. Kraut's "no mandate" remark referred to the fact that there was no big issue to campaign on,foreign wars,free trade, Obamacare, just vague promises of what to expect.
Obama ran in 2008 on a vague platform of "hope and change",this time he ran on a campaign of "we need another term to get the job done".
That coupled with MSM hysteria over abortion,gay marriage,and some vile sound bites by a few nut cases was enough to do the trick.
So, Mr. Prez, you're incharge now and for the next four years. You say you have the solutions, let's see your best "stuff" as they say in baseball.
He won the electoral college by 97 as well as the popular vote. How is that not a mandate?
