Updated at 12:26 a.m. ET: President Barack Obama won re-election despite an electorate that sees a nation on the wrong track, with a weak and troubling economy, according to NBC projections and exit polls. Exit poll interviews with voters point to three big reasons for Obama’s victory:
- First, despite a slim majority of voters thinking the country is on the wrong track, 54 percent approve of the way Obama is doing his job, and the electorate was almost exactly split on whether Obama or Romney would be better at handling the economy.
- Among the four voters in 10 who said they think economic conditions in the country are getting better, a huge majority, nearly nine out of ten, said they voted for Obama.
- Finally, a slight majority of voters voiced an unfavorable view of Romney personally, while a slight majority had a favorable view of Obama. On the attribute of whether the president or his GOP rival was “a candidate who cares about people like me” Obama had a massive lead over Romney.
Voters were sharply divided along lines of sex, ethnicity, age, income and religion, exit polls showed.
NBC's Tamron Hall breaks down the results of the NBC News national exit poll, which shows a gender gap that worked in President Obama's favor as well as a boost from the Latino community, from which he received more votes than four years ago.
The gender gap was distinct: Among male voters, 52 percent favored Romney, while 45 percent backed Obama. The data reflected slipping support for Obama, who won 49 percent of male voters four years ago. (Full exit polling data is available here.)
Among white male voters the disparity was even sharper: Obama was winning just 36 percent of the white male vote Tuesday, compared with the 41 percent he won in 2008, the exit polls showed.
Women voters favored Obama 55 percent to 43 percent – about the same split as four years ago when 56 percent of women voters preferred Obama and 43 percent supported Republican candidate Sen. John McCain.
Within the female vote there was a sharp divide between married and unmarried women: Married women backed Romney, 53 percent to 46 percent, while unmarried women preferred Obama by a better than 2-to-1 ratio, 68 percent to 30 percent.
Virginia Senator-elect Tim Kaine weighs in on what made the difference for him and the president in his state, how Obama plans to work with the GOP and why it may be a more cooperative relationship in this second term.
Among white voters -– who accounted for nearly three quarters of the electorate -- Romney was leading Obama by 58 to 40 percent, making Romney’s performance among white voters three points better than McCain’s in 2008.
Younger voters preferred Obama, but not by as lopsided a margin as in 2008: Among voters age 18 to 29 Tuesday, three out of five said they voted for Obama, compared with about two of three in 2008.
On the other hand, Romney had a substantial advantage among voters 65 and older, who favored the Republican by a margin of 11 points.

Supporters of President Barack Obama cheer as they wait for Obama to appear on stage during the Obama Election Night watch party at McCormick Place Tuesday, Nov. 6, in Chicago, Ill.
Latinos and blacks overwhelmingly voted for Obama, according to the exit polls. Latinos, an important part of Obama’s winning coalition in 2008, were even stronger in their support of Obama than they were four years ago. Latinos, who accounted for about a tenth of the national electorate, favored Obama by about 70-30. Black voters continued to be exceptionally loyal to Obama – he was getting more than nine in 10 of their votes Tuesday night, just as he did four years ago.
Obama showed strength among lower-income voters, winning three out of five voters with family incomes below $50,000. Among middle-income voters Romney led 52 percent to 46 percent, and he did a bit better than that among voters with family incomes of $100,000 over more.
Another dividing line in the electorate, as in 2008, was religion. Three out of five voters who told exit poll interviewers they attended religious services weekly or more often preferred Romney, while 40 percent backed Obama. This represented about a five point improvement among such voters for Romney over McCain’s performance four years ago.
Among those who said they never attend religious services (a much smaller portion of the electorate) Obama won more than three of five.
A slim majority of voters Tuesday told exit poll interviewers that they felt the country was “off on the wrong track,” but the mood of the electorate was markedly more optimistic than it was four years ago when a record three out of four voters said the country was on the wrong track.
An overwhelming 76 percent of voters said the state of the economy is poor, or “not so good,” but voters did not tend to blame Obama, who came into office in the midst of a financial crisis and deep recession. Only 38 percent said Obama was “more to blame for the current economic conditions,” compared with 53 percent who laid the blame more on former President George W. Bush.

I am so happy that this president was re-elected.
It is proof that America IS a smelting pot...not a country of lily white Republicans! :)
Try to learn to spell. It's not a smelting pot....
whatever...you got the message. Can't you do any better than a spelling error!! hahahahaha
Always figured the Grammar Nazi's have a big OCD issue.
It takes being a little OCD (along with smarts, hard work, etc) to become wealthy; you should try it sometime. Or you could just wait for Obummer to redestribute others' wealth to you.
I have all that I need - I have worked hard for most of my 60 years.
PS
Wealth also comes when your guy starts a war then lets his old company get Billions from the war (Halliburton).
I worked for my money, I didn't cheat people for it.
Huge difference between how I got my money and how Bushtrumperomney got his. My father worked for the State, (no job/$$$ to inherit).
@5th,
Watching the Fox News network doesn't automatically make you a smart person. You watch that for your news right? Yes or no?
No Max, I rarely watch Fox. Another typical liberal assumption. I prefer to watch the enemy's news sources (pretty much every other network but Fox; especially MSNBC). Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Yes 5th, That makes you a true American. Do you really think providing health insurance to people that need it is wrong? Do you think that getting GM out of bankruptcy and making a profit is wrong? Do you think it's okay to deny your doctor, who happens to be gay, to not be able marry a loved one? Is that wrong?
If you say yes to any of these you are in a declining era. You need to go and take a shot of Jack. Sorry. Change or get left behind.
Master Joseph:
Can he do any better than a spelling error? He just showed every person on this message board that you're an ignoramus...........LMAO.
Can Arkius do anything but predict the opposite of what is actually going to occur? Must be tough to be so wrong so often.
OK, you're not a fat, over weight, pimple faced pig, and you don't have sex with your sister.
What has happened to the people of this country! This president has lied to you about Libya and you still elect a liar. Taxes will be skyrocketing next year because of this president and you still elect him. We will be probably going into a serious recession next year because of this president . You dream if you think the Republicans will work with this guy. It will be gridlock and deep animosity for the next four years.
RIP USA. The only thing now standing between America becoming the next great socialist failure (like Greece, Spain, etc), is the fact that hopefully the Democraps still won't be able to get anything of lasting damage done because the real adults (i.e., the taxpaying, working Republicans) still control the House. Four years from now, when unemployment is still 8%-10%, college grads still can't find jobs, and our nation's debt is beyond $20 trillion, I want all the lemmings who voted for Barry to tell us again why they were right in cluelessly voting this socialist disaster back into office.
If in 4 years we still have 8% unemployment, there will be less republicans in the House of Representatives. They better learn to work with the president and to compromise.
5th Gen....Oh!!! I see...you're a Texas racist loser!!
How's little George doing?:)
Just another typical name-calling liberal who is so quick to be the exact type of defaming person they always accuse republicans of being. You incorrectly assume I'm a racist. I have lots of African American and Hispanic friends, some rich some poor. And guess what? Tomorrow, I'll wake up and still be a multi-millionaire...who's the loser now?
@5th,
So you are multimillionaire? If you make over $250,000/yr and Obama wants you to spend the equivalent of one of your lunches per week to balance the budget of the United States for the next eight years? Would you be willing to spend that $138.00/wk? It is $138.00 dollars a week for a person that makes $5,000.00/wk. It is lunch money for the sake of a higher being. If you make more than $250,000/yr and you say no. You are disillusioned my friend. And you will still be disillusioned tomorrow.
No, I am a realist and an unabashed capitalist. When you are ready to cut the federal budget about 25% (targeting welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, requiring mandated birth control for anyone on welfare, etc), and also ask 100% of Americans to pay some FIT, then I would be willing to pay more taxes. Until then, no way! And by the way, one of the ways my wife and I both became millionaires in our own respective careers is by not having $138 lunches! It's called living within your means.
Tex, it won't take four years to see change. If the GOP keeps up it's obstructionist agenda, expect another GOP drubbing at the polls in 2014.
I think I'll watch FauxNews for a couple of days; between the exploding heads and the cannibalism, it should be quite entertaining. Unless of course it was all a left-wing conspiracy if that's the alternate reality they go with... LOL!
Why would the "Tex" deny a "poor" family birth control, etc.? You don't make a lot of since. PUNISH the POOR! Because you need to have a tax break of $138.00/wk! Look everyone. This is a multimillionaire talking. Get rid of birth control for the unfortunate poor, welfare for people that are poor and need it to survive, food stamps so people can eat food and survive.
So, if I understand your position, It's screw everyone else! I'm keeping mine.
Right?
@5th your a milti millionare and you spend half the night blogging on here LOLOLOLOLOL is your name really romney?
Hey Koch Bros,
Kiss our A..
The problem with Americans is that they never vote for the good of the country as a whole.It's an all about me and my needs way of thinking that has continually voted losers into office,Republican and Democrats.I can't wait a couple of years from now when everybody deny's voting for Obama.In Clinton's and Bush's second terms it was hard to find anybody who admitted to voting for these two.
We all see our worst faults in others.
I wonder how much the Koch bros spent - probably not the best investment! I guess the threatening of their workers to vote GOP 'or else' wasn't enough.
Potential gains in Senate! Thank you tea party for providing a gift in Indiana!
Wisconsin went blue.
It's a very scary thought that Obama is going to be president for another 4 years. He has helped ruin this country when he was only playing at being president for half the time. Now he won't be campaigning for anything so he should be president full time. This country is in big trouble. What will the debt be in 4 years? 20 trillion?
If Boehner and friends continue to fight eliminating the tax BREAKS for the wealthy the debt will go through the roof.
In case you haven't paid attention it was the Tax BREAKS combined with 2 wars (on credit) that got us so far in debt.
Bush/Cheney ran the con that Iraqi oil would pay for the wars - It Didn't.
The Tax breaks cut our income and cut jobs. Remember those working for the Government are paid by taxes.
Zero jobs were created by the tax breaks, but American Companies (such as Anheuser Busch) sold off their assets to foreign investors because the tax BREAKS let them pocket more of the money.
Tell Boehner to SHUT UP!
BJ: Election is over. relax and get some sleep.
Yea!!!! President Obama
The problem is.....the Republicans won't work to move this country and economy forward. They'll just do what they always do.....act like a bunch of three year olds.....and make things worse....
Congratulations, Mr. President, for winning reelection and for destroying the flip flopping governor. Now, get back to work!
Well;
At least now we know why the administration bailed out the auto industry. It wasn't about workers and jobs; it was about securing swing states for the future election. Must say, it was a brilliant strategy. Kudos to his campaign strategists.
Good bye middle class; see you in four years...if you're still here... And all you hapless autoworkers thought it was all about you the whole time... Right!
three birds, one stone. Workers have jobs, country has striving auto industry, and we have the best President in the modern history.
I've never seen so many ignorant people be so proud to vote for a Colossal FAILURE as a president. Can't blame Bush forever morons. Congratulations on buying into the liberal media's agenda. Here's a crazy idea to think about before you go vote four years from now....how about you actually vote on ISSUES AT HAND and actually do some research on your own instead of voting for someone that is African American just to try to prove to yourself that you are somehow "progressive". There Truly should be a minimum I.Q. for people to vote and this election proves that more than ever! Pathetic
While Bush certainly deserves the bulk of the blame Boehner and friends have done everything they could to interfere with the recovery of this economy.
justin...SOUR GRAPES MORON! :)
No I'm someone who is a REALIST. I'm also and accountant and if you pay taxes you will SOON realize how ignorant you really are. Unless of course you're one of those that gets his money from the government...in which case it's VERY understandable why you would vote for this fool.
there should be a minimum IQ to post here...and justin would fail. This "you only voted for him to prove you aren't a racists" is an epic fail. :)
Justin
I pay taxes.
It is interesting back in the Good old days when America was Strong and our economy was growing the taxes the wealthy paid were almost twice what they pay today.
Since you hadn't heard that tax cuts hurt the economy here is an educational site that my help you out:
http://conceptualmath.org/philo/status1.htm
Then there is this from:
Thinkprogress.org
Back in the good old days the wealthy paid a much higher tax rate.

People wonder why the economy is in such a mess.
When taxes were actually going to something other than food stamps, health care and welfare YES. Simply not the case now is it?....
What makes you think you have any right to any more than the 35% Uncle Sam already takes from me and my wife? When you have worked 60+ hour weeks for 30 years to become an executive at a Fortune 500 company after becoming the first person in your family to graduate from college, THEN you can tell me why you have a right to take 50% or 60% or more of MY earnings. Until then, hands off my money! Almost 50% of Americans pay NO FIT!!! Address that tax issue!!!
As Barry says, "let me be clear"....it is NOT my job to pay for your mortgage, your kids' education, your retirement, your student loan...that is YOUR job.
We live in a capitalist not socialist society where each of us is responsible for their lot in life and for living within their means. Remember?
Cut federal spending by about 25% and then we can talk about raising taxes. Unitl then...no way!
When people that used to work for A/B got laid off, because Anheuser Busch made tons, off the tax breaks by selling to a foreign company, those laid off workers need public assistance.
Other companies also sold off to foreign investors because they could pocket more $.
Then there were the folks whose jobs were lost from Mitt's company sending the jobs overseas. They need public assistance too.
When Federal workers are let go because there is no money to pay them they need public assistance.
When construction workers are laid off because there is no money for Federal projects like repairing bridges, and building freeways. They need public assistance.
I suppose we could just let the elderly die off instead of giving them public assistance.
Special needs people really don't need to have a roof over their head and food on their plate, kick them out on the road - right?
When Storms like Sandy hit and destroy people's lives, some for many years, they need public assistance.
Really Justin, I don't think you actually know who these people are that need public assistance.
Whine whine whine.
For you it is all about greed.
I also work 50-70 hours a week.
Bottom line, when this country was the most prosperous and the wealthy also made the most profits, the wealthy also paid much higher taxes.
Your greed is sickening, you don't care about this country you only care about what YOU possess.
Do you know why more jobs were created in the old days when taxes on the wealthy were higher? It's because the only way they could make MORE money was by expanding, producing more (which required additional workers) and using the capital expenditures to reduce tax loads, and create more production and profit as a result of that expanded production.
This isn't rocket science, it's Econ 101 stuff. And ANYONE who complains about paying 15% in capital gains tax while the working people pay 20-25% in payroll taxes, is just showing their Ayn Rand mentality.
My household brings in about $140K per year and we're always broke. We're broke because we help support my Mother, my wife's brother (who has suffered a stroke), and a thirty something in the basement who suffers from service related PTSD and schizophrenia.
We don't whine and moan and b*tch about it, we accept our responsibilities and do what is best for our family. And we pay more in taxes than 5th Gen all hat/no cattle...
Well Mr. Executive, your chance will come very soon, so why not take a little pride in doing the right thing, instead of whining like a punk because you believe that since you worked hard (Which I SERIOUSLY doubt, if you sat at a desk you did NOT work "HARD") you shouldn't have to pay any taxes. Time to man up there Annie Oakly.
Wrong again, "J": I care a great deal about this country and am sickened by its slow slide into the socialist sewer. But, ignoring the 900 lb elephant in the room (i.e., we are fast becoming a welfare state) is a far greater sin than my "whining" as you called it. Face it, the democratic party is now the party of the welfare state that inherently preaches a lack of personal responsibility and determination, and the republican party is the party of the taxpayer state where hard work and success are stilled valued not vilified. And that is why I fear America is doomed; because Mitt was right..about half of Americans do see themselves as victims!
I was a teamster for 20 years, went to college and now sit at a desk. I'll take the desk any day of the week. I worked MUCH harder as a Teamster.
I really don't know where you come up with this stuff.
Jesus was a Socialist. He also preached personal responsibility.
Your mind set is one developed by the Rush Limbaugh's, FOX spews, misinformed preachers, and other assorted nuts. Even if you don't watch Fox people within your circle that influence your thought do.
Where did you ever get that idea? Where did you get the idea the Democrats are anti work? That is one biggest nutcase right wing rumors. Those are the things that mad me so angry at the GOP. For the first time in my 60 years I voted straight Democrat because I wanted to send a message.
I am F'n tired of the Nut Cases.
Which time? He really was an Etch-a-Sketch. You never knew what line of crap he was going to give.
James, lots of tough words there. Too bad most are wrong. First of all, we paid way more than 15% because our wealth was built though earned salaries, not cap gains, so strike one on your tough guy words. Second, you want to compare taxes paid...REALLY??? Our total 2011 FIT paid was $342K on about $1M in earnings, so don't you DARE tell me (or my wife - also an Executive in another company) we haven't paid our "fair share". So, you can shove your snotty liberal crap where the sun don't shine.
"JOregon: Seriously, if we did a poll of how people on welfare voted, do you REALLY think any of them voted for Mitt? REALLY???
Tex I doubt that many people on Welfare even voted.
Tex
I really wish we didn't have to end the tax BREAKS. That is what they are.They were Breaks from the taxes people were paying.
We have to end those tax breaks to fix this nation.
The tax breaks cut our national income. Sort of like you only working 30 hours a week and making 50% less. Now imagine you go out and buy a new mansion and a yacht using your good credit from that income you used to make. Wouldn't be a very smart idea would it?
You would quickly be in over your head and would need to work extra hard to pay off those debts.
The Bush tax cuts reduced our income. Then he went out and started 2 wars on credit. They hid the costs and Obama got stuck with that debt. The B/C theory was when we won the war in Iraq we would get all that Iraqi oil to pay off the war. Sort of like me assuming I was going to win tomorrow's Powerball to pay off the Yacht and the Mansion.
It was the Tax cuts and the wars that got us into this situation. The way out is to end those tax cuts and end the wars. Under Obama we are ending those wars. We need to also end those tax cuts if we are ever going to pay off our debt.
Until that happens this economy will not grow very fast.
You can hold on to all your mammon and have things you really don't need or you can help this country recover from this financial mess we are in - somehow I think you'll choose mammon.
Sorry double post
Hey "5th"? Your getting your behind handed back to you on every post. Even Romney got the message. You? Not so much...
Did Grover get the message?
Let's see how many seats the Republicans can piss away in the House in 2014, by refusing to raise taxes on millionairs! hahahahaha
The time for hate filled commentary is over, your posting would have some value if you preached and prayed for the unification of this country and it's people!!
If Boener wants my money and my vote, then he makes sure we let the country go bankrupt. No deals with the President. No more debt. If he caves, I will vote him out of office. Someone has to hold the President accountable for debt and job creation.
congress passes spending bills, sounds like you should hold them accountable.
Well America, you wanted him, so you got him. It looks like some of you didn't learn from the first four years. You have just disgraced our wonderful country bye re-electing the worst President ever to try to lead this country. I know the Muslims are rejoicing, and yes I voted for Romney
you just disgraced yourself by playing the "muslim" card. lol.
Ron
It was the idiot birther/muslim folks that made so many of us ANGRY at the Republicans.
What happened to the Republican party?
Where did the Eisenhower's, Goldwater's, and Reagan's go.
Who are these nut cases running the GOP?
Thanks for telling us you voted for Romney. For a while there we were really wondering.
Here's what your man had to say about tax cuts. Sure you knew that though....
JOregon - And who are the socialists running the democratic party? What happened to LBJ, etc?
Socialism
I find it so humorous that the great bulk of people claiming this Nation was founded on Biblical Principles are anti socialist.
Jesus and the first Christians were Socialists.
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
You might want to read about Ananias, and his wife, Sapphira in Acts 5.
As it says in Acts 4:32 the early Christians sold what they owned and shared with each other. Ananias, and Sapphira decided to keep some of what they sold for themselves.
Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Acts 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Acts 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Have you ever heard the story of the Rich young ruler that Jesus commanded to sell all that he had?
Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
So odd that the so called GOP/Christians don't really want to follow Christ.
I don't know your faith but caring for my Brother is part of mine.
As far as who is running each party I am pretty much independent, but these past few years ir is obvious the GOP has been taken over by Nutcases.
Far too many clowns like Palin, Perry, Huckabee, Mourdock, Gingrich, Cain, Santorum, Trump, etc (the list is too long).
JOregon, those guys who are the nut cases are not pro-America, they are pro- anything but America as long as they save on wages and satisfy their insatiable greed. and that is their problem, which they made everybody's problem. Greed blinds them so much they can't even begin to conceptualize it. Eisenhower, Goldwater and Reagan where pro America first, they had ideologies to abide by. Greed is not an ideology. I promise that if current "republicans" were to rapatriate lots of manufacturing and capital to the homeland, their electoral odds would certainly improve.
I agree with you. Re-electing Barack Hussein Obama is bad news. And if I spelled his name wrong, I don't care!
Hey Ron -- looking at your picture you are a typical Republican --- and old white haired white guy. Your era of dominance in American politics is over. You can keep up with this "he's a Muslim" crap but you're only talking to yourself.
Poor Charlie, he thinks pandering to the minorities instead of addressing the important issues that really effect their lives is the best way for the Republican Party to stage a comeback.
Charlie, stick with whatever party is pandering to you at the moment, and leave the Republicans to fix their own problems, because you clearly don't have an understanding of why Romney lost this election or why Obama won.
My prayers each night will now conclude with.................................and please lord put America out of our misery and have Obama visit you permanently now.
Wow! I thought you were gone Mr. Bin Laden!
@!$%#s just wanted their Obama bucks!!
Come, come Marie. Don't be a sore loser. Better watch out or someone will put you back in your room and lock the door again.
@!$%#s wanted Obama bucks and I have to pay it. Why are people so blind?
sreggiN wanted their Obama bucks, that's why he won. Free money
All right. So now the fiscal cliff issue and the dirty tea party tricks to move forward.
Forward together with President Barack Obama!
Mr. President my husband may have a roof over his head and a job when he is done with the military, but what about when he is in the military?
Concerning Romney, the man who would be King:
that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:–
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I
slew him.
Shakespeare.
My undying gratitude to the American people, who had the good sense to rebuke the radical agenda of the GOP. Hopefully they will learn from this, abandon Grover Norquist, and return to representing the people they were elected to serve.
We will move forward with the same Obama as president. Nothing will change right away, but his personal agenda will move forward. More people will lose their employment. More people will go on unemployment, more people will go on Food Stamps and More people will go on Welfare. When the middle class is almost gone, we will all be dependent on the government for our food, health and tents. Just like in the early days of Russia, Nazi Germany, etc. Obama is a Socialist and America will become Communist. For liberals have sewn Americas future into a 3rd world country and all we knew before 2008, will only be a memory of the past. Why should the next 4 years be any different than the 4 previous years? Obama played the liberals as the fools they are. For G*D is not here anymore, to change the demise of ours and our children and children children's future.
Now, now Rush ... er, I mean "fuzzy" (wink, wink) we know that you are hurt and angry and feel like a big steaming pile of loserdom right now. Have a nice sleep and realize that tomorrow is another day and we Americans have a better future ahead of us now that the President has been re-elected
Laker, your condescending bullshirt is disgusting. Obama may have won the election, but he's still a jerk off. So suck it.
Mr. President my husband may have a roof over his head and a job when he is done with the military, but what about when he is in the military?
Katie this is the 2nd time you posted this BS. You get BA, do not lie! I know this for a fact because I am in the military. So pull your head out of your a$$ and get with the pogram.

You are a typical ignorant socialist liberal. You are no smarter than the comment you wrote. Liberals have made our country VERY dis functional, not withstanding any common sense!
Are you kidding? The country WAS dysfunctional because of Taliban-GOPTP. No longer. Wait 2 years and we will take back the house and bring The House to order, like in good Clinton times.
chill out - this was simply a reference to Dole, remember him?
Rep, Fuzzy can't remember the past or he wouldn't be advocating returning to the 'Bush Plan' which the GOP thinks no one else remembers either.... LOL.
Crazy Steve-1996926 Your name is very appropriate!!
What are you liberals talking about. Name 1 thing Obama has done to help Unemployment, Welfare, Food Stamps and Obama care bringing 21 more new taxes? You people are as dumb as a rock! America is SCREWED for sure. Another non producing 4 years and more middle class to put on the dole!

I love the right wing whiners- let's review.....taxes are still the same.....nothing left to use to create a phony bubble.....supply side economics is an utter failure, about which Obama has done nothing, but you can keep pretending it was his idea, if it makes you feel better about Reagan.
I could see the complaining if Obama and the Democratic Congress had spent its six short months together putting the tax structure back the way it was 40 years ago....but they actually changed NOTHING from a revenue standpoint, which is most of the problem- the banking crisis wasn't going to magically disappear without a serious cash infusion (which is why the Federal Government CANNOT be run "like a business", for those of you keeping score at home), and it would sure have been nice if we had actually PAID for SOME OF IT, anyway. The reality is that the fact that the Dems buy into some of the cr*p you righties sell is what is keeping our economy in the toilet; if they TRULY did things the Keynesian way, you folks would all be whining to no one, because everyone would be working...
