A question is whether we will have sequestration or not.
Obama Re-election Solidifies Military Policies

President Barack Obama held off a late-autumn charge by GOP challenger Mitt Romney to secure a second term, etching in stone his plans for a smaller military and policies such as lethal drone strikes against al-Qaida targets.
Though polls showed the incumbent's lead in several key swing states and in Electoral College projections shrinking in the race's final month, Obama wrapped up the 270 votes needed to win the Electoral College around 11:20 p.m.
The president leaned heavily on his foreign policy and national security credentials throughout his re-election bid, touting his decision to green-light the bold raid into Pakistan that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and what he says is the drone campaign's weakening of al-Qaida.
And he did not run away from his plans to create a leaner, meaner military.
