What would a second Obama term look like?

Human Events: California Dreamin'   "I live in California.  If you were wondering what living in Obama's second term would be like, wonder no longer.  We in California are living there now.
 "California is a one-party state dominated by a virulent Democratic Left enabled by a complicit media where every agency of local, county, and state government is run by and for the public employee unions.  The unemployment rate is 12%."
...."California has seven income tax brackets.  The top income tax rate is 9.3%, which is slapped on the greedy rich earning at least $47,056 a year.  Income of more than $1 million pays the "millionaires' and billionaires'" surcharge tax rate of 10.3%.   
 "Brown's proposal would add 2% for income over $250,000.  A million-dollar income would then be taxed at 12.3%.  And that's just for the state."  Roger Hedgecock
Another California comparison made by another Californian: "But at the core of this breakdown was the abandonment of our basic republican structure of government – and it began right here.
"Our parliamentary institutions have evolved over centuries to distill diverse viewpoints to a common direction within constitutional boundaries. When this process is applied, it works extremely well.
"For a quarter of a century, I watched as these brilliant checks and balances that had produced reasonably punctual and reasonably balanced budgets for over a century, and nurtured the most prosperous economy in the nation, were gradually abandoned in the name of liberal efficiency.
..".I believe that if Californians rediscover these self-evident truths, Jerry Brown will be to California what Barack Obama has been to the rest of the country – a giant wake-up call."
Tom McClintock
:  The best way to judge Obama’s first term — and his second  "In Obama’s case, however, a failure to win a second term will not just color his accomplishments. It will decide their fate."

Letter: Second term would give Obama license to do unspeakable things "He has lost America’s position as leader of the world. His message has become a farce. I believe the world considers him a joke, as their cartoons about him are telling. He has become an embarrassment, bowing to Saudi royalty and apologizing for America’s imagined transgressions."


Investor's Business DailyIs Obama 'Dangerously Close To Totalitarianism'?  "... "A few months ago he was saying, 'The Congress doesn't count, the Congress doesn't mean anything, I am going to rule by decree and by administrative regulation.'
" "Now he's basically saying the Supreme Court doesn't count. It doesn't matter what they think. They can't review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing." "
Romney Warns Gun Lobby of a Second Obama Term  " “In his first term,” Mr. Romney’s said, “we’ve seen the president try to browbeat the Supreme Court. In a second term, he would remake it. Our freedoms would be in the hands of an Obama court, not just for four years, but for the next 40. That must not happen.’’ "


The Nation: Why the Supreme Court Matters  "Four justices are now in their 70s: Ginsburg (79), Scalia (76), Kennedy (75) and Breyer (73). If Romney wins, he could shore up the right flank of the Court; if Obama wins, he could tip the balance of power back to the center. "
...." “If Obama wins re-election, he will likely appoint one—and perhaps three—more Supreme Court justices,” [NRA head Wayne]  LaPierre said. “It’ll be the end of our freedom forever.” "
"....If ever there was a time for the president to run against the Court, it is now."  Ari Berman


What Tax Day Could Feel Like in 2013  "The Tax Foundation reports that because of higher federal income and corporate tax collections, Tax Freedom Day came four days later this year than last. And the bad news is that unless Washington takes action, it will take working Americans 11 more days to meet next year’s tax burden."
