From this year's midterm election results, its easy to predict if the 'new' government is going to handle its essential job to sustain balance and improve economical and social stability in the country. Will it handle its job? The answer would be both yes and no. Yes, because any government would fight hard to maintain its own country in some type of stability. No, because we, the people of the United States, don't need 'some type' of stability. What we need is great improvements in the economical, educational, social, medical and other systems. This has a great possibility of not working out in the next few years, since the presidential Democracy has a high chance of loosing its power to the enormous amount of Republicans in the Senate. With different opinions on how a state or a country should be governed, will the two parties ever come to an agreement? For instance, how likely is it that the executive branch appointments and federal judges will be confirmed by the Senate if Obama's nominees are Democrats? Not likely at all. The Senate Republicans will wait until the nominee is of their own party, but that would be like waiting for a teacher to give you a 100 after you resisted to complete an assignment because you didn't like the topic. Outside of relationship of the parties in the States, the President and the 'new' Senate clearly have different opinions on whether our country should enter the expensive oversees war or not. If Obama does enter every war possible, chances are that our economy will go down. The Republicans think differently and they will try to get their word across to try to get involved in the conflict, which would cause constant debate and massive disagreement. There are many similar issues that the results of this election brought up, and people will continue talking about them until they see the 'new' government at work. We are hoping that the political parties' differences will not cause any disaster, and since the election is officially over, all we have left to do is watch how the government tries to handle its job.
