As I've said, I think the responses (especially since they aren't answers) are very enjoyable as well as enlightening. When you and the other supporters of this Congress and Administration are forced to address the reflection of your position, you insure that the proper message is getting out. The Administration and a filibuster proof majority in place are all rhetoric without substance. That is the obvious message being conveyed as more and more disappointment is generated from the actions taken in Washington. Your attempt at misdirection only support that the coalition that put these indentured servants of special interests and PACS in place is breaking up. Rhetoric in lieu of substance was talked about during the campaign, we are living through that analysis being correct.
But lets move on...

in consideration the consequences, I'd equally be curious. Your non-answer considered I'd be happy to.
You set a false assumption in your question, or at least a different standard than you hold the Obama Administration and Congress. Was the question of consequence considered when the promises were made during the campaign. Is that a rhetorical or sophomoric question?
However, without concern that you have kept whatever "consequences" you have in mind secret; I'm still happy to give you my opinion. However, not being the President or a member of Congress, my position regarding "consequence" should be considered similarly to my opinion regarding what to do on 9/12/01.
We're I elected on January 20th, right after the sign in, I'd sign an executive order to send everything that floated, flew, or had the ability to cross the terrain and carry personnel over to Iran and pick up each and every US soldier deployed. Later that same afternoon, I let the drug lords and corrupt local officials in Afghanistan know, "Its been fun, but on the way by, I'll be picking up any troops deployed there also." It would be my stated stance, that the returning troops will man the US borders, on the ground and in the air, and become a visible presence defending at all borders, against terrorists, illegal aliens, drugs; whatever. I'd announce the release effective February 1st of all GITMO detainees and give the time between January 20th and February 1st for any country to either take them off our hands, or welcome them as returning heroes. In lieu of any takers, I'd send them back to whatever country they hold citizenship. On January 21st I'd get in front of the people who elected me, and say; "This is what you voted for - lets move on!"
You don't ask, but the first move would be the 'health-care' issue. I'd sign another executive order opening up every Military facility to any US citizen without coverage. If need be I'd set up military tents in every major city until more facilities could be built. The money saved from foreign intervention should cover the cost, but if not, I'd institute my 'Medical Domestic Corp' idea and staff the project with medical personal who participated in the paid education program.
Since I brought up illegal aliens, on that issue I'd implement a $100,000 fine for the first offense against anyone hiring a worker with fraudulent paperwork or no work papers at all. Second offense - surrendering of all property and 2 Years in jail. I'd figure out what to do against any individual or corporation foolish enough to get a third offense. The workers, would be sent back to their countries of origin.
But that's all bullshit.
You see MM, the question is pointed to the Administration. Unlike me, they have the power, Congressional support, and until lately the mobilized constituency to actual do what candidate Obama represented he would do prior to election. As much as I'm critical of him, I didn't expect any better. I knew he was beholding to too many PAC and special interest groups to affect any change. I'm more critical and disappointed in the constituency.
This was, and perhaps still is, an opportunity to recognize the lack of influence in the hands of the general voting public. I hoped that now, with a clear representation of no change regardless of the political party in power, that the anger, excitement, and desire to charge would stay mobilized to cast the only vote that would effect change. Simply put, that vote is NO! 'No' to the reelection of any candidate.
