No one to blame... but himself.

President Obama may find it might have been better to lose than to win in the coming months, as he must confront the consequences of his own fiscal policies.

No matter who won, the economy is likely to improve somewhat over the next two years. Not due to any politicians policy, but due to simple economics, and the American spirit. We have been down long enough. But, President Obama must now confront staggering debt, with no end in sight, a looming debt ceiling 6 months earlier than expected, trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, a bankrupt social security and medicare system, and the staggering tax burden of his own Obamacare.

Given his lack of seriousness about dealing with the economy, jobs, and debt in his first term, and his reticence about describing his second term plans, combined with his pronouncement that his first priority in his second term is immigration reform, not jobs, or debt, He may find it would have been easier to be on the golf course laughing at Romney's efforts, than to be responsible for his own, with no predecessor to blame.
