Obama didn't get the senate majority which could turn into a problem later, imo.
He's got to stamp his authority early while he's still got the messianic following. He'll need to confront the MIC and explain the facts of life. Then there's the Israel lobby, that'll be harder still. Then there's big pharma, big oil, big business, the drug prohibition industry, and fundamentalist Christianity. Basically, most of the interlocking influences which corrupt western democracies, especially America's. I almost forgot--America's broke as well, although this might work in Obama's favor.
Of course, his most powerful enemy will be the MSM.
He's facing a hard task.
Add to the above the lobbed 'nuke' - announcing a Russian medium range set of missile bases to counter the American ones in Eastern Europe. He may yet also soon have some mess in Iran to clean up - all created by the current monsters still in the throne room. He's going to have to do a lot of quick growing-up and learn about the men behind the curtain - if he doesn't yet.....he will soon enough.
