Point 2- Obama's ability to do damage will be limited by a GOP House and GOP senate (unless ROmney proves so unpopular that he drags down everyone lower on the ticket, which I don't completely discount.) Romney will obligate the GOP In congress to do along with some of his liberal schemes.
Neither the House nor the Senate will limit Obama's ability to appoint two more Supreme Court justices over the next four years.
Well, a couple of points on that.
1) It is unlikely any conservative justice is going to retire while Obama is the guy who appoints his replacement.
2) A republican senate isn't going to go along with anyone who is in the Sotomayor/Kagan mode of liberal. (You do know about the whole "Advise and consent" part, right?)
3) A conservative MIGHT be tempted to retire under a Romney presidency, and that could lead to us getting stuck with a liberal justice, because Romney is really just as liberal as Obama is in some ways.
