If you’re thinking about buying or refinancing a home and wondering how President Obama’s second term in office will affect future mortgage rates, here’s the short answer: It probably won’t.

Mitt Romney’s election would mean higher ones, their interest rate theories aren’t much more than guesswork, simply because of the limited influence that presidents have on mortgage rates.
