Sometimes I hate it when I'm right.
A sampling of today's headlines, neither random nor nonpartisan:
Obama Re-Election Signals New Phase in Syria War
ABC News
a.k.a. the US will now give even more weapons (that it won't allow its own citizens to buy) to fanatic Muslims.
US election party in Beijing: part celebration, part education
Los Angeles Times
This one speaks for itself.
Kremlin Cheers Obama's Re-Election
ABC News
As does this one.
Hard Mass. race ends in victory for liberalism
Boston.com
It wasn't just in MA, though "socialism" might be a better word.
Dollar Falls After Obama Victory, Losses Seen Limited
CNBC.com
I'm surprised they're willing to admit the first part, but not at all surprised it happened.
Obama Win Keeps NASA on Course — Toward an Asteroid
Space.com
For those who flunked math and physics, collisions with other objects in space are Bad Things.
The best Election Night tweets
CNN.com
Because it is much more important to cover fluff than substance - after all, if we covered substantive issues in detail Romney might have won!
Asian Shares Warm To Obama Re-election
Wall Street Journal
The dollar is falling but Asian markets are going up. So the people with money on the line think Obama's win is good for Asia and bad for the US.
Republican Karl Rove calls Barack Obama Fox News projection 'premature'
Telegraph.co.uk
Well, technically the electoral college hasn't cast their votes yet, but while it isn't official yet I don't think any sane, informed person is in any doubt.
Obama win has US investors staring at fiscal cliff
Chicago Tribune
Yup. The man who gave us the fiscal cliff in the first place is now in charge of leading an almost identically divided Congress to solve it. I feel so much better now!
I've expected PBHO to win for months, though I'll admit being disappointed that Romney didn't do better. Worse, however, is that I can't really see the election four years from now being any better. For the record, I'm not ruling out PBHO being on the ballot again. It's not like he cares about the Constitution or that he won't have a stacked Supreme Court ready to rule flagrant violations of it as valid. Sure, I heard a lot of comments from him that this was his last election.
Four years ago I heard him promise millions more jobs, among other things.
I'd say 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me' except I wasn't fooled the first time.

You're actually more optimistic than I am. Mr. Wright pretty much expresses my opinion.
To include a quotation from the above link: "Life and Death was set before us, and the majority chose death."
Or as I noted when New Hampshire's results came in: "I guess they decided to go with 'die'."
