The lack of hands across the aisle was because none of them reached back. Hopefully his re-election will show that they failed and the tea party Republicans will start putting the good of our country and of the world first before their petty bigotry.<br /><br />That said, Obama's re-election did ensure that women's issues will not be rolled back to 1950's nor will the land mark ACA be repealed. So maybe everyone will move on to things that matter and are needed.<br /><br />Yes, except for more women in both houses we still have the same imbalance of power which means with the filibuster the GOP can block a vote on any piece of legislation they want.
