I really wouldn't get too excited if i were you, Obama fans. He won this election by the slimmest of margins, hardly a mandate. Bush's re-election victory 8 years ago was far more decisive... he won by more than 3 million votes when all was said and done despite the two very unpopular wars going on at the time.
And when Bush was re-elected, the Republicans still had control of Congress. Obama still has a split congress, and if he doesn't perform a Clinton-esque move towards the political center, he'll be as big a lame duck president over these next 4 years as Bush was in his last 2 years in office.
