Elections have Consequences

You will hear - once again - the Obama Administration repeatedly tell their friends in the liberal media that "Elections have consequences" - or words to that affect.

All the platitudes about hope and change and compromise that we heard the last few days leading up to the election are now being purged from the memory of all of the liberal media and the administration talking points.

Since the President's reelection there have been lot's of lay-offs in anticipation that some industries - like the Coal Industry - will be further attacked by their own Government and other companies in many industries are cutting back employment knowing that the unaffordable Obamacare will be fully implemented

Today the President held a press conference where he claimed that the vast majority of American's had agreed with him that tax increases were the right thing to do.

“A majority of Americans agree with my approach,” he said at the White House, citing his victory over Republican Mitt Romney on Tuesday. “We can’t just cut our way to prosperity. The wealthiest Americans have to pay a little more in taxes.”

That's not true on several levels

24 states voted for Mitt Romney out of 50 - that's hardly a mandate

The popular vote will ended up being about 51% to 49% Obama versus Romney.

That's hardly a mandate to do anything

Harry Reid's Senate has managed not to come up with a budget in 4 years. That's unprecedented - but the President has not applied any pressure to get the Senator to get that fixed.

Now the talking heads at ABC - CBS - CNN - MSNBC will begin the mantra that it's the selfish Republicans in the House who are holding the country hostage. While the President takes off on another "tour" - this time Southeast Asia for 4 days. 

I hope the Republican controlled House stands firmly on the side of jobs and does not cave in regarding raising taxes. It's the right thing to do. Even it means going off the "fiscal cliff"
