Barack Obama Wins Election for Second Term as President
by Wes Annac
Note from Wes: Well, was there ever any doubt in your mind? I'll say it again - this man is meant to help lead our world and the polls have spoken for themselves!
Let us remember that SaLuSa told us of the assurance of Obama's victory, as did Archangel Michael through Linda Dillon. Even SanJAsKa today has acknowledged Obama's victory [hours before it was apparent] during a communication that I will quickly work to get edited and posted. This is a very, very important and deciding time in the history of mankind and I say bring on the Light!!!!

President Barack Obama handily defeated Gov. Mitt Romney and won himself a second term Tuesday after a bitter and historically expensive race that was primarily fought in just a handful of battleground states. Networks project that Obama beat Romney after nabbing the crucial state of Ohio.
The Romney campaign's last-ditch attempt to put blue-leaning Midwestern swing states in play failed as Obama's Midwestern firewall sent the president back to the White House for four more years. Obama picked up the swing states of New Hampshire, Michigan, New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Ohio. Florida and Virginia are still too close to call, but even if he won them, they would not give Romney enough Electoral College votes to put him over the top. The popular vote will most likely be much narrower than the president's Electoral College victory.
The Obama victory marks an end to a years-long campaign that saw historic advertisement spending levels, countless rallies and speeches, and three much-watched debates.
The Romney campaign cast the election as a referendum on Obama's economic policies, frequently comparing him to former President Jimmy Carter and asking voters the Reagan-esque question of whether they are better off than they were four years ago. But the Obama campaign pushed back on the referendum framing, blanketing key states such as Ohio early on with ads painting him as a multimillionaire more concerned with profits than people. The Obama campaign also aggressively attacked Romney on reproductive rights issues, tying Romney to a handful of Republican candidates who made controversial comments about rape and abortion.
These ads were one reason Romney faced a steep likeability problem for most of the race, until his expert performance at the first presidential debate in Denver in October. After that debate, and a near universal panning of Obama's performance, Romney caught up with Obama in national polls, and almost closed his favoribility gap with the president. In polls, voters consistently gave him an edge over Obama on who would handle the economy better and create more jobs, even as they rated Obama higher on caring about the middle class.
But the president's Midwestern firewall--and the campaign's impressive grassroots operation--carried him through. Ohio tends to vote a bit more Republican than the nation as a whole, but Obama was able to stave off that trend and hold an edge there over Romney, perhaps due to the president's support of the auto bailout three years ago. Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan all but moved to Ohio in the last weeks of the campaign, trying and ultimately failing to erase Obama's lead there.
A shrinking electoral battleground this year meant that only 14 states were really seen as in play, and both candidates spent most of their time and money there. Though national polls showed the two candidates in a dead heat, Obama consistently held a lead in the states that mattered. That, and his campaign's much-touted get out the vote efforts and overall ground game, may be what pushed Obama over the finish line.
Now, Obama heads back to office facing what will most likely be bitterly partisan negotiations over whether the Bush tax cuts should expire. The House will still be majority Republican, with Democrats maintaining their majority in the Senate.
The loss may provoke some soul searching in the Republican Party. This election was seen as a prime opportunity to unseat Obama, as polls showed Americans were unhappy with a sluggish economy, sky-high unemployment, and a health care reform bill that remained widely unpopular. Romney took hardline positions on immigration, federal spending, and taxes during the long Republican primary when he faced multiple challenges from the right. He later shifted to the center in tone on many of those issues, but it's possible the primary painted him into a too-conservative corner to appeal to moderates during the general election. The candidate also at times seemed unable to effectively counter Democratic attacks on his business experience and personal wealth.

Dear Sohini, I agree no one knows what will happen tomorrow. I personally strive to be unattached to the fruits of my efforts. However, I feel we are an integral part of the divine plan. We can embody the mind of the universe or Goddess/God. Connect with the flow of cosmic intelligence and become a co-creator through our intention of Love. Take Amma for example. She could easily stay in India and not bother traveling around the world spreading her love and Darshan. One could say she is following the will of God. But honestly it is her intention to get up off of her meditation pillow and see more and more people. Is her intention the will of God because she is doing such great work? We each have God given will expressed as intention. The tricky part or the Dharma lets say, is to connect with the Tao or the way or the process that leads to the highest good for as many as possible. To shy away from this challenge in the name of the Divine plan is not wrong; but is it right? We are here to learn, make mistakes and get up and learn some more. Or else we would be as the animals following the prompting of nature, like the apes content with bananas and such. In this learning ground of time and space I feel we must take a risk to expand. To come willingly of our own volition and personal vibration and perspective into the presence of the creator her self. Directly to the Galactic center, unashamed, not as an equal, but as a friend of the almighty power that we are very much a part of. I see it like this now. I may well be wrong and so be it. I am not afraid of tripping over my own feet in a rush to catch a glimpse of the Goddess for her own pleasure. Our intentional awareness and love for her is her delight. If not than she would be content to have us as some kind of pet. Thank you for allowing me to speak of my own thoughts to you. Much lovelight to you!
Dear Indra,
I believe in the Divine Plan and I have an idea that whatever will be in favor of the Divine the result will come according.....So I am with the Divine Plan only and who knows what will happen to morrow ?

American politics has not yet recovered from getting involved in WW2. When the same forces that infected Germany landed here. Prior to that time, politics here involved very strong small family farms, strong unions and a relatively weak corporate world. America in many ways is being passed by, global capital has moved east, which will be a good thing some day as we go back to our roots as poet farmers. We are really not very good at being world policeman. Believe me when I say the common Heart of Americans are basically isolationist in the vein of Thomas Jefferson. This is a big country with many, many voices. Our politics have not always been so polarized into two parties which are really the same corporate voice. Unions were born here. Read the history of the wobblies. We are still hung over from the power we inherited at the end of WW2. It may not seem like it when we read the lies and half truths in the media. But many changes are happening here amoungst the young people who will not have the "luxury" of being hypnotized by the trinkets garnered from imperialistic expansion. Furthermore, many political parties mean next to nothing when they wield so little power in the long run anyway. The political world is really being operated by the Federal Reserve, the World Bank and the guys with the guns. While I have little faith in politics in its present form. We cannot run away from it. If we try it will run us over.
That being said, the real world is within our Heart. All Hearts are connected. Politics of the Heart are intention to share the fruits of the Earth, allowing the empathetic nature of Humans to surface safely and be recognized for what it truly is...our true nature. WE ARE ONE! So it is and So be it.
Dear Bryan,
Yes, Politics is always brings negative energies .....but we are the responsible persons for any selection and Election....

If "SaLuSa" was well versed in the American Elections then he should have tried to install a Third party candidate. You want change? Install Third Parties. Establishment candidates can not, nor ever will change. This will be the status quoe where Americans will be detained indefinately then sent to Gitmo.
