listen Listen: Mike & Winey, Talk The Vote Election 2012
Mike & Winey discuss the results of Election Night 2012.

Washington D.C. is going to look a lot like it did the last four years, according to Valley political insider Mike O'Neil.

Besides a few changes in President Obama's cabinet, O'Neil said Capitol Hill will have the same cast of characters.

"We're going to have a Democratic Senate, and a Republican House, which is exactly what he had yesterday. And the same president, and the same problems."

O'Neil said the most notable shakeup in Washington will be what happens with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who could be running for president in 2016.

"Hillary Clinton is the obvious Democratic nominee," O'Neil said. "She goes out after an almost unblemished record, though I think there will probably be issues raised about Benghazi at the tail end."

As for the Republican nominee four years from now, O'Neil expects it will be Congressman Paul Ryan.

    Bill O'Reilly made a comment the other night as to why he believes Obama got re-elected. While I don't agree with all his comments, I believe he is dead on in his idea that America has changed in the past 20 years, and that many Ameircans want stuff given to them, and that Obama will be the one to give them that stuff. In some American cities, such as Cleavland Ohio, over 40% of the population is on some type of welfare. We are creeping towards socialism, and we will meet with the same result as all countries that practice socialism.

    Socialism will bring us down to an unsustainable mediocrity, where there is no incentive to do better, and everybody suffers in the meantime. If you believe my assessment of Socialism is just rhetoric, then I pose this question for anybody to answer: Name one country that practices socialism, has a population above 150 million (less than half of U.S. population), and is still practicing socialism after 100 years, and while doing so has seen a general sense of economic prosperity, and its citizens have a comparable set of civil liberties to the U.S. Name one country.

    I guess I did go over the top with the free abortions for everyone but everything else is on track to head that way.
