Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

I feel good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody has got to pitch in or the country will be flushed down the pipes....

This is really a time of "ask yourself what you can do for your country"

What can you say we are going to have 4 more years of Democrats giving away the bank, and Republicans sitting in the corner just saying NO..... Neither side has learned a damn thing so the situation just go on and on..... It is time for the 2 sides to grow up..... Increase Income & Decrease Spending is the only way out of this mess..... Yes that is going to hurt but hey without a little misery we are not going to have a future.....

The only good thing about a second term for OBAMA is that after 2016, he can never be President again!

Thank GOD Am... thank God.

I am with you OH guy. What is going to change here for people to cooperate? And those of you who think it is all on the Repubs, read Woodward's book. Obama did nothing to reach across the aisle. He in fact ignored them. Woodward calls him arrogant. Valerie Jarrett really needs to go back to Chicago.

Here in MD, people voted yes to question 5 which was about the gerrymandering. How it passed is a testament to people being clueless about what they are voting on. I saw so many come to the polls who had never read or thought about the questions. We had 7 state questions and 15 county questions. Some of them took forever to try to read the questions and decide on the fly. They could not have understood question 5.

Obama won't have a headache, he doesn't care. Obama has the keys to AF1 and the nations American Express card, and that is all he ever wanted. 20 trillion in debt is on the way. Division, hatred, blame, and excuses for four more years if the nation lasts that long. Obama wants socialism, and apparently so does his supporters. There was no vote for the nation last night.

It's our elected leaders job to get together, compromise and get things done....

they haven't been doing that..

Congress doesn't get the excuse 'the other guy isn't doing what I want him to'

it's time for both sides to compromise and get things done

The only good thing about a second term for OBAMA is that after 2016, he can never be President again!

What make you think that, he promised change.

Democrats and Republicans work together...

United We Stand..

I pray for our Great Nation and wish it the best!

"What are you talking about, it never happened. You must be imagining things."

Don't know if you are being facetious or not.

If not...........Keep telling yourself that, and while you're at it, tell the families of the four patriots who died that they just imagined it too, and their loved ones are coming home.

Paul-25359759

Just reviewed some of you're other posts and it does seem to me like you were being facetious and mimicking the Administration's stance on Benghazi.

It appears we are on the same wave length on this topic.

Oh yeah, and he forgot to mention just one more tiny matter of

HURRICANE SANDY VICTIMS IN NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK!!!

...

There's the little matter of thousands of people still without power or water, and thousands who lost their homes. Some might say it is pretty urgent, don't you think?

Not urgent anymore...the election is over

The fiscal cliff won't be a problem because those most threatened by it are defense contractors, the very rich, and other GOP supporters. The corporate interests will pressure the GOP into an agreement with Obama. The same is true of the debt ceiling.

And as to the anger/happiness of the night, you know, since really long before the American Revolution, this has always been true: Conservatives go into the old folks home bitterly complaining that the country is going to Hell, while liberals smile away in their old age at how things are continuously getting better. In the long run (see marriage equity laws, openly gay senator, black president, universal health care coverage now, but also Roe v. Wade, interracial marriage, votes for women, child labor laws, end to slavery and overthrowing the king) - in the long run, liberalism is the inevitable tide of history.

I assumed anything political after the election would be under the heading "Crimes".

This article is misplaced it seems.

"I beg your pardon, but the President has NOT shown contempt towards Congress..."

Sally....Sally...wake-up...wake-up. You're dreaming again!!!

I do believe women made a difference in this election. Maybe the republicans will think twice before they take craps on women and minorities.

Pigotry....Democrats and Republicans work together?

You mean like when the Democrats totally shut the Republicans out anything to do with the PPACA?

ROFLMAO!...work together?!?!?!!?....continuing to ROFLMAO!!!

Noncoms..."in the long run, liberalism is the inevitable tide of history."

Two words for you: History. Rome.

6 headaches for Obama:

1. People who are too independent to be controlled with "free" handouts.

2. People with an I.Q. over 70.

3. The U.S. constitution.

4. Non-liberal owned "news" media.

5. Legal U.S. citizens.

6. Minorities who vote based on facts instead of race.

P.S.

7. Having to preside over the destruction that the full implementation of Obamacare is going to cause in 2014.

8. that devalued dollar the casually mention...by calling it a "debt limit"...raising the price fo gas to well in excess of 5 bucks. along with EVERYTHING else.

( course they will just tell people its those "greedy company's" or "speculators" that never existed before he took office and the lemmings will believe this)

Well at least we can hope that the Mayans were correct and this all will end on Dec 21st !!

Crybaby republicans. Pure and simple.

another 4 year SNAFU for the USA , but then again would Romney really have changed anything ?...probably not...so today again nothing changes SOS different day

So who is Obama going to blame now for the mess he inherited from the past four years?

@CosmicChuck: Will you ever get it through your thick skull? Raising taxes on all the so-called rich isn't going to make a dab of difference. You could tax the daylights out of them, and it would pay our nation's bills for a few MONTHS. Yet you continue to write excessively long pieces of drivel proclaiming it's the solution to everything that ails our country. GROW UP already.

marmee

So who is Obama going to blame now for the mess he inherited from the past four years?

the "obstruction" in the house of course. as usual he will NOT except the responcabilty for anything just play the " blame game". cant fault him really ....after all its ALL he knows.

Wanna bet the only thing on his mind right now besides gloating and arrogant narcissism is that golf is on the agenda rather then any of this?

Time to scrap the B & C variants of the JSF (F-35). The "A" (air force variant is sufficient). The Navy & Marine versions can be replaced with latest editions of the F-18. Speaking of Stealth for all those who feel a 5th generation aircraft is necessary....JG74 Luftwaffe Typhoons scored three F-22 Raptor 'kills" in this years Red Flag Alaska proving that in the "merge" (dog fighting range), the F-22 is not invincible although at long range it remains so. But this points out that stealth is not all its cracked up to be and new detection systems could render that capability vulnerable. Thus why pay 100's of millions of $$$ for aircraft when tried and true updated variants of F-15's (Silent Eagle), newer blocks of F-16's and Super Hornet F/A-18 E/F can do the job for at least the next 25 years. And forget those Russian (T-50) and Chinese supposed 5th generation test vehicles. They won't come into service for at least 20 years and by then pilotless aircraft at cheaper prices could rule the skies.

Time to rein in military spending Mr President and the B/C JSF's must go.

PS. The overall JSF cost is roughly a trillion $.

"in the long run, liberalism is the inevitable tide of history."

So is the decline and fall of nations.

Blackbird,

There are so many reasons I am laughing at your post.

Oooh. Somebody call the Whaaambulance! All the poor right wing trolls can't stop crying. Waaaa. Waaaaaa. Waaaaaaaaaaah!

Sorry guys. Your tired talking points and lies don't work. Time to wake up from your right wing alternate universe where down is up and up is down. Or haven't you learned anything from last night?

Are you guys ready to drop the whole muslim-socialist-kenyan-fake birth certificate conspiracy nonsense? And ready to drop all the made up Fox-lies and non-troversies?

No? Then keep crying and fade into irrelevance.

If your worthless congressmen don't compromise while they're working so very hard (36 weeks a year at least), then they'll be out of a job in 2014 and no more government handouts and benefits for them. Oh, well they'll keep freeloading from we the people with their platinum health care packages and pensions long after we send them home.

In any case I really hope you losers didn't learn your lesson. Then we won't have to deal with useless fools like Boehner and McConnell who only know how to filibuster and block everything just because they don't like the black man in the White House.

Another four years of wasted governance.

The most positive thing for me is that Obummer's election resulted in about a $7000/yr pay raise. I plan to drop my health insurance and get the free health care that the rest of the entitlers are going to get. Even after paying the TAX penalty I come out over $7K ahead. Time to cease being one of the 53% supporting the 47%. I'll join the 47% and get something for all of the years I supported them.

As for having bipartisan actions, when is obummer going to get his own party to agree to help him pass a budget. Oh yeah, he doesn't need a budget for his economic policies. He got re-elected without ever having passed a budget.

What should really piss off the voting public is the way that both candidates and the media treated the non-swing states. Both effectively gave THE FINGER to the voters of those states. Their attitude was such that "F YOU! We don't need to make more than a token appearance in your state because we know we can do as we damn well please and you'll STILL vote for us. And if you are for the other guy, F YOU again because I can negate your vote by winning the swing state votes."

I hope all of you saw the tax increases on the middle class in the article because that is just the beginning.

If Obama insists on the other tax increases in Jan 13 then the middle class will be devastated. I saw the post the tax break for the rich let me remind you that in the Bush tax cuts the rate for the low and middle class is 10% and 15% and after Jan 1 2013 those rates will go up to 15% and 18%.

Lets not forget that Obama wants to raise the corporate rate to 35% and then you will see an exodus businesses going overseas and our unemployment skyrocket.

I think many of need to realize that the corporate tax for our global competitors is 25% and that is where our corporate tax rate should be just give us an equal footing with our competition.

Lets not forget that Obama wants to increases capital gains tax up to 35% also which will discourage investment into our country and be another blow to the middle class.

Yes because that capital gains tax will also apply to all the middle class IRA,S and 401K,s Democrats have been for a long time tax and spend and that is why Obama increased our debt to China by over 5 trillion.

Yes Bush was reckless and that is what sparked the tea party which many of you have bashed on your posts.

I think many of you really need to understand the party which is nothing new- they are just working on getting us back to our constitutional Republic of limited government and placing power back to the states and its people.

If you look at the election results you will see 30 tea party governors in the States and they all have done a great job for their state and turned deficits into surpluses and the unemployment rate in those states are below the national average.

Yes I am glad to see Akin and Mourdch go and you need to realize that Akin fell miserably in Missouri because he was on his own as the RNC and Crossroads stripped his funding which shows leadership on the party.

Romney would have been the best candidate to get us in the right direction and he is no corporate raider or for the rich- if any of you. would have researched the background of the candidates, you would have known this.

Why do I see alot of hate from both sides on these posts, why dont all of you go back at look at what you all have posted with an open mind- this is part of the reason why our country is going no where.

If you wonder who I am its simple- I am an Independent with the ideology of our patriots who fought for our freedom against the Anarchy of king George and open free market capital Republic was formed.

The last time we came close to operating as a Republic was during the Reagan and Clinton years. why don't all of you go back and look at the electoral college of these eras.

Reagan Re-election 1984 had only Minnesota going for the challenger which shows what bi-partisanship is all about.

Nothing has changed- California,New York, NH, and many others are still Liberal states and knew that Reagan was the right choice.

What has happened since these times is George Soros and Bill Ayers started in the Clinton era to push their Progressive agenda which is an hybrid combination of Socialism,Communism,and Marxism.

Obama and many of you have spouted out many times Ideology strait from the Karl Marx Model- The 99% and !%, class warfare, and redistribution of wealth.

Karl Marx formed the USSR and it is gone because it went bankrupt under his ideology- Where is America heading right now.

I think instead of bashing on these posts all of you need to study the backgrounds of Bill Ayers, George Soros, and Obama.

Word of advice- you cant be lazy and google the baised net- you are going to have to go to the research section of the library.

There you will find dreams from my fathers which is Obama,s biography-Bain capital references.there is one reference that ties the Bain model which made us competitive in the global market place which contributed to greatest US economic expansion in history during the Clinton ERA.

OK Mr. Obama. You worked hard to get re-elected, and many of us worked hard to get you re-elected. It's time to finish the deal. WE MUST GET THE TAX PLEDGE RESCINDED. Play hard ball. Bring it to everyone's attention that the House Republicans cannot compromise (and do their jobs) because Grover Norquist and special interest won't let them. Let everyone know that you plan to get something done with some spending cuts AND tax increases before "the cliff", or you will let ALL the Bush tax cuts expire and then immediately push to re-institute them for the middle class only. If yesterday was not embarrassing enough for the selfish-right, work around them to get things done. Yesterday was a sign that the majority of America knows what the selfish-right was up to, and that this country will succeed with or without their participation.

And as a side note, I thought Rash Limpbaugh was going to have a coronary today. Damn it was funny.

Seams the RWNJs here need some cheese and crackers to go with all the Wine-ing their doing.

How is it that republicans can take an Oath to Grover Norquist and go against the Oath of Office they take? Do whats best for Grover and F**K the Constitution.

From the ATLANTIC Nov 7 2012

In 1990, President George H. W. Bush raised taxes, and GDP growth increased over the next five years. In 1993, President Bill Clinton raised the top marginal tax rate, and GDP growth increased over the next five years. In 2001 and 2003, President Bush cut taxes, and we faced a disappointing expansion followed by a Great Recession.

Tax Cuts Don't Lead to Economic Growth, a New 65-Year Study Finds

Obama will be as much of a failure in his second 4 years as he was in his first. Unfortunately, America will pay for this.

What amazes me is the amount of people that have become so used to mediocrity that they are willing to barely get by if it means getting by on someone else. Being on the dole has become acceptable by way too many Americans. They don't care about 4 Americans being slaughtered in Benghazi, but if the tanker truck is there to give them a tank of gas after Sandy, all is good with the world! Absolutely pathetic!!

Latino groups to Obama: You owe Latinos the election, now pass immigration reform

"Leaders of immigrant rights and Latino groups told reporters in a conference call on Wednesday that Obama owes his second term to Latino voters, and should repay them by passing comprehensive immigration reform. Obama promised to pass a law legalizing many of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country while he campaigned four years ago, and he's been chastised by Latino leaders for breaking his promise."

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/latino-groups-obama-owe-latinos-election-now-pass-194113601--election.html

Imagine that, race-based groups telling the President he owes them... the respect for his "leadership" is clearly immense. (sarcasm)

Congratulations Mexico, enjoy the remains of what used to be a place worth running TO.

"Yes, you did" - Satisfied Democrats?

Let's just hope the arrogant fool fails as badly in his second term. He's not going to get help in the House after the ignorant way he acted toward congress in the last four years, the House will fight him on every aspect of implementing Bozobamacare, he'll get no budgets passed, and the fiscal weight of all his moronic giveaways will sink our economy. He'll be assured of being placed in the "failed fool" file of presidents, right where he belongs.

FYI - These figures come from Obama's own White House Budget projections - link below;

National Debt as of the end of fiscal 2008 (Bush's last year) = $9.986 Trillion.

National Debt at the end of fiscal 2016 (Obama's last year) = $20.391 Trillion.

By the way - this includes Obama's 'assumption' that he gets his tax increases on the 'rich'. If that doesn't happen, the Debt will be higher.

I find it ironic that the young people who provided Obama with his margin of victory are the very same ones that will 'inherit' this unsustainable Debt burden, and have to pay for it - with interest.

I guess you might call that 'Retribution'. LOL

Here's the link - See Table 7.1;

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Historicals

By the way - For those who are unfamiliar with Economics, the amount of interest payments on the Debt will have to be paid with higher taxes on everyone - Under Bush, it averaged slightly under $200 Billion per year, but if the interest rates return to the average under Clinton of 4.7%, the interest payments alone will skyrocket to almost $1 Trillion per year by 2016 (Almost $10 Trillion over 10 years – for interest alone). That money will effective come out of the pockets of American families and go into the pockets of 'Investors' – largely foreigners like the Chinese, thus decreasing economic growth/job creation substantially. We are on the same path as Greece.

Congratulations on that "Change we can believe in" that you voted for.

Roy how true it is... but everyone wants their freebie.

Oh and by the way, tax the rich will only be a bump in the road to pay this debt, grossly over thinking it is this big money bag.. it will be all of us who get to pay for it twice, plus interest.

Thanks... How crazy is it for our government to borrow 40% of what they spend. But you voted for it.

The voters have sent the same crowd back to D.C. and now expect a different era in government.

INSANITY= Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

If you want change in Washington, you need to elect new people with fresh ideas.

More of the same is what we are going to get, and we voted for it.

reasonablewomannyc--

Hopefully the economy will tank or go nowhere and the Dems will be out for 20 years next time around.

Seriously?

Barely won? Ok if that get through these next four yrs. Yeah run with that. Good luck.

1 million out of 100 million is only 1% ----- yes, i call that "barely won "--- certainly not a mandate.

That you would wish the economy to tank which not only effects Democrats but everyone...EVERYONE in this country and people allover the world...INCLUDING YOU is the exact reason we are in this gridlock in our nation. That you would "ask" for poverty in hopes that your political party has a better chance is beyond comprehension of any small amount of intelligence. It doesn't matter who wins, I want my country to be the story of success not of epic failures. Classless comment like the one you made, reasonablewomannyc, show one major thing...YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!!! There is nothing REASONABLE about your statement. GROW UP!!!

297/204 electors, looks to be 3:2 to me. Certainly that's a mandate? Also, anyone hoping the president fails to revive the country should be considered a traitor. No nice way to say that about those who would have their fellow countrymen suffer for political power; just as Boehner has for 2 years. There have been several Republican friendly recovery bills staled for fear it would make the president look good. He should be pushing his own agenda into bills, not just ignoring them. That's the American way.

You don't have to hope the economy will sink (and why wish for this?). Obama is clueless about finance, the economy, banking, capital markets, business...he can't keep himself from adding additional regulations and cost onto business and taking dollars out of citizens pockets- neither of which will help our fragile economy.

Let the economy tank? Easy for you to say, living in your parents' basement and all.

reasonablewomannyc: You should be ashamed to wish this nation ill because you feel you've lost. This was not a 50/50 election--only the polls were. Obama has carried every single one of the swing states, most likely including the last one to be counted: Florida.

The GOP needs to rethink. They conspired at Obama's election in 2008 to refuse any cooperation. Now we've seen Chris Christie and Obama working together as a model for the country, showing the rest what true leadership looks like: we must work together. Boehner is getting that message.

The country has voted for continued commitment to move forward. The House needs to pass the president's Jobs Bill, the Transportation Bill to rebuild our infrastructure, and the Veterans Jobs Bill, so our returning soldiers can have financial security at home.

Then we must end the war in Afghanistan and begin to "do some nation-building at home," as our president has advised.

We must put aside divisiveness and hatred and recognize our obligation to work for a truly United States.

Molor-

2:3??? When have you heard the word Elector in the past four years except tonight.

Mandate my arse. Look at the PUBLIC VOTE, pal. There's your non-existent mandate.

Read up on the Electoral College and then convince yourself there is a mandate. Electors are empowered only one day every four years, and they are a representation of the number of elected representatives to the Federal Government each state has. Electors are a ceremonial post vacated after they place their 'votes'.

1% is a squeak. Not the rumble of a landslide or mandate.

Dee Turner-

The President should suggest a measure which makes sense for a country headed for trillions of debt annually rather than another round of his stimuli which delivered nothing close to what Bernanke and Obama said it would other than burdening my daughter and granddaughter with paying for Barry's wet dream.

It was nearly 50/50 popular vote the entire run.... and everyone and their grandma KNOWS the electoral college system sucks and needs to be removed. Obama won even by popular vote in the end but a 2 million vote margin is HARDLY a landslide.

The electoral college be DAMNED.

This is the United States of America NOT the United States of California....

A system where a persons vote is worth more simply because of where he lives NEEDS TO BE KILLED. Anyone that disagrees with this can suck it.

reasonablewomannyc.. It's stupid women like you that give other women a bad name. Good thing is there are more smarter women than you. Women like you should not multiply. You call yourself reasonable but you are not, with crazy statements like letting the economy tank to prove your point, is insane. I bet you were a spoiled brat when you grew up, and that's why you make brainless statements like that. Women like you set REAL and smart women back decades!!! This is why repugnants and conservatwerps lost tonight. If you morons stop lying so much maybe we would give you some respect!! Pffft!!

297/204 electors, looks to be 3:2 to me. Certainly that's a mandate?

Molor - the Electoral College is an antiquated system that our forefathers decided to include in our system of government so that they could manipulate elections. At the time is was instated, women could not vote and blacks were slaves. It is a system that needs to be dismantled. Presidents should be elected solely on the basis of popular vote. BTW, Obama won the popular vote by a very slim margin. This means there was no mandate. It also means that approximately half of the people in this country disapprove of him as president.

reasonablewomannyc

... Hopefully the economy will tank or go nowhere and the Dems will be out for 20 years next time around.

What a patriot you are, reasonablewomannyc. Actually wishing for everyone to suffer, only for the sake of vindication.

I think I know what reasonablewomannyc actually meant and I agree,

I don't wish harm on anyone but your votes are bringing it. You are not just wishing harm you are instigating it with your votes.

After all the weak and stupid starve off in the next great depression, those with sense can actually start putting people in office that actually know how to run a government.....

There is no mandate. Has not been for years on either side. The electoral college is not useable for determining mandate. Only the popular vote is. And, Turner, who is paying for all the programs you list? Obama was in favor of pay go. What are you going to give up?

It will continue to tank for some time to come. The recession still needs to reach the bottom.

I completely don't care who thinks they have a mandate or not.... and this BS:

reasonablewomannyc--

Hopefully the economy will tank or go nowhere and the Dems will be out for 20 years next time around.

????????????

think about how screwed up that is..... the GOP just stopped congress for two years and basically did nothing as a presidential politics move.....

you guys better do your job or it's gonna be carnage at the midterms

This wasn't a 'landslide', and the electoral college system is an anachronism in modern times.

But those of you moaning about no mandate and slim victory doesn't change the fact he would have won under a popular, single transferable vote proportional representation system.

Also, the idea that the states with the greatest electoral votes share are wielding too much influence (for example, your much maligned California), is specious to the point it is laughable. These are the most populated states.

If anything, the influence of smaller states with tiny populations that will still, at a minimum, represent 3 electoral votes grants a greater political tool to a state whose population would otherwise not be as well represented. If anything, the big populated states are being disenfranchised by this.

As for congress and the President, it's time for some actual compromise on BOTH SIDES, enough finger pointing 'he says, she said' BS. Taking your bat home and hoping for a stagnant, intransigent congress is nothing short of pathetic. Perhaps then Congress will attain more than a paltry approval rating, and the people will offer support for the POTUS. Without this, both will suffer, as will the U.S.

Pulling

If the electoral college actually represented voters fairly, the electoral votes would mimic the popular vote percentage wise.

It doesn't.

Obama did win by an extremely slim margin of popular vote, but with the ridiculous electoral college, he could've LOST the popular vote and still won the election and THAT needs to change.

It's just fundamentally wrong.

PullingAt: Bravo to you, sir (or madam if that's the case): I never thought the Bush tax cuts should have been extended in the first place, and I thought the Obama payroll tax cut was not a good idea at all. Apparently, the overwhelming majority have no meaningful grasp of the concept of 'eating the seed corn', but with all these willy-nilly tax cuts, that's what we've been doing for the last twelve years.

If we want this country to recover within the current decade, there are two vital and unavoidable steps that we as a nation must agree to take: 1. Raise taxes, to at least the Clinton-era levels, and 2. Have another round of stimulus spending, but larger this time- possibly as much as three times larger.

Raising taxes will produce more revenue, which will allow the government to undertake critically needed and too-long postponed infrastructure repairs, which in turn will produce ripple-effect economic activity (starting with tools, heavy equipment and safety boots and continuing to new TVs and vacations in Hawaii or Washington state). The increased economic activity will in turn produce more revenue at every level of government, which will allow the debt to be paid down much more quickly that even the most Draconian austerity measures could ever hope to do.

To the people grumbling that we're in peril of becoming Greece or Spain: Austerity only helps the bankers, and causes the workers to suffer for no gain. A look at the European countries that have instituted austerity proves that this is true. The brutal truth is that we need more government spending and a higher debt cap today in order to achieve economic growth and full employment tomorrow, and pay down the debt the day after tomorrow. Republican economic ideas are a proven failure, everywhere in the world they've been tried, and it's past time to bury them once and for all.

brian ... i dont care if we won by 1% or 30% .... all that matters is we won ... and teh country is better off without mitt .... give it up dude .....

CONGRATUATIONS MR. PRESIDENT OBAMA

CONGRATUATIONS TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA !

What would be nice is if Obama asked for Mitt Romney's help with the economy.

If we want the president to work with the republicans (or the other way around depending on how you look at it) it wouldn't hurt if we started treating each other civilly. We can hardly expect them to work together when we spend our free time on boards like this calling each other names. It makes money for NBCNEWS.com and why they encourage it but it does nothing to bring this country together. And right now we really need to work together.

The same scumbags who are hating the electoral college now defended it when Gore won the popular vote and Bush won the election because of the electoral college. What hypocrite filth they are!

The simple truth is that Obama did not run on an agenda for a second term, and therefore he has no mandate. Obama ran on hate, division, race, blame, and excuses. No incumbent has ever run a more negative hate filled campaign. Now we will find out what Obama really has planned for the country, as over the past four years he never has actually laid out an agenda. One thing you can take to the bank, 20 trillion in debt, massive inflation, and higher unemployment are all right around the corner. The only question that remains is who is Obama going blame this time?

Never laid out an agenda? Where are you sourcing your "facts"

I mean did not Mitt Romney just spend the last 6 months bashing the President's agenda? You might not like his plan, but to say he doesn't have one? What do you think hes doing, twiddling his thumbs? Of course he has a @!$%#ing agenda. He also has a Congress seemingly dedicated to eternal stalemate. I don't even understand the claims that he hasn't been willing to compromise, it's amazing how people can see the same situation and draw such wildly divergent conclusions. Most liberals I know consider him the king of compromise to the detriment of the policies we want him enforcing. It's one of the major criticism for the left, he gives up too much to appease Republicans who then refuse to vote for his initiatives anyway. If anything we've been waiting for him to throw up his hands and find ways too work around the obstructionists where possible.

I don't even know what President some of you have been watching for 4 years. He gutted his own initial stimulus with tax cuts proposed by GOP Congressional leaders and they still wouldn't vote with him on it, and honestly that's the main reason it wasn't as effective as it could have been (tho it did save various industries, apparently a job saved isn't as worthy as a job gained tho).

Also clearly you didn't see G Bush's campaign again one Mr Kerry. You really think this is the most spiteful one? What hate was there? Obama used Mitt Romney's own words and actions against him. That's what you're SUPPOSED to do. Those are what we are meant to judge Romney by as a candidate, the things he's said and the things he's done. Half of us rejected him, a point that seems to be left out of your analysis. And we have reasons as good as any of yours for voting the opposite way.

JoeF. You are another example of why nothing will change. Name calling, whatever. Your mother needs to wash out your mouth.

Regarding the comment that this was 50/50 - More important, is that this is the 5th time in the last 6 elections that the Democrat won the popular vote.

Also - the final result is a 2.2% victory (59,682,000 to 57,059,000) supporting the "main stream" pollsters and showing Rasmussen was indeed biased right, as were all the Fox News sources and Limbaugh (who say "Romney big" and predicted over 300 electoral votes for Mitt based on his "experience and analysis").

As one tweeter said - if the NY Times was right on Paul Krugman's and Nate Silver's prediciton, could the climate really be changing and the earth be older than 10,000 years?

In any issue with objective reality behind the conclusion - the NY Times is right and Fox News is wrong.

297/204 electors, looks to be 3:2 to me.

Spin baby! Spin! That's something a lawyer/politician would try to use. Only works on the people addicted to kool-aid.

Hal - "What a patriot you are, reasonablewomannyc. Actually wishing for everyone to suffer, only for the sake of vindication."

Please tell us what harm his words caused?...None. On the other hand you actually voted for Obama, an act whose consequences the whole nation will be facing for generations.

Wishes are irrelevant, just like your wishing for Obama to be competent.

Redhead

great post although a bit naive, we are actually talking about politicians here after all . they and common sense have never met.

This election does highlight some of the flaws in our electoral college system. Some states have adopted a split electoral vote system where the winner of the popular vote in their state takes 2 votes by default and the remainder is split based on the percentage of the popular vote that each candidate won. I think that more states should adopt that model. It would be a more accurate representation of the popular vote and the wishes of the nation as a whole.

Don't get me wrong, here. While I did vote for Obama, I don't agree with the large discrepancy between the popular vote (where he won by a narrow margin) and the electoral vote (where he won by a sizable margin). Let's hope we get this fixed for 2016.

"BTW, Obama won the popular vote by a very slim margin."

HAHAHA!! BTW, Romney lost the electoral college AND popular vote by a slim margin. A loss is still a loss. Keep stamping your feet and crying.

The People have spoken, and the King and Queen have been elected again. All Hail the King and Queen.

Now, since Barry doesn't need to continue to campaign as he did since his last election, it's time to get to work.

Will Barry:

1. Reveal a budget that Harry Reid tabled for two years or so?

2. Will the real budget numbers create wealth distribution for all earning an income?

3. Will Barry move forward to create legislation that provides employers add jobs, or will he continue to build an entitlement society?

4. Will Barry now assume ownership for the problems he created during his first administration? It is his economy now, and Bush cannot be the blame.

5. Now that he won, will he take a vacation prior to his Christmas vacation? Will Mooochelle continue to reward herself for her achievements on the campaign trail with several new AF1 trips?

6. Will ObamaCare ever be finalized?

7. Will we see more green energy failures while drilling for petrol is reduced?

8. Will Valarie Jarrett actually attack those who opposed Obama as she stated in a recent article?

9. Will we see the results of Benghazi, or will the AG stop the investigation due to security issues?

10. Will the President actually work the legislature, on both sides of the aisle, for the good of the country, or will he continue to rule?

Well Obama don't need to worry about reelection... I Hope he Changes his views now that he is not tied to an election. Clinton did... that is how newt was able to get welfare reformed... Obama and congress agreed on a grand plan but Obama pulled out at the last minute a year ago. I hope that AND SSI and Medicadid are back on the table.

Election is over and HALF the nation feels one way....The other half is armed to the gills.

I'm think Obama is in a great spot to do what Clinton did for love of nation.

"HAHAHA!! BTW, Romney lost the electoral college AND popular vote by a slim margin. A loss is still a loss. Keep stamping your feet and crying."

How very mature of you. You're just demonstrating that child-minded people are now calling the shots in this country. The adults are now outnumbered, and apparently have been, for 5 of the last 6 presidential elections.

Pulling At The Threads,

You need to watch this video:

An education about the Electoral College

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50133559n&tag=showDoorFlexGridLeft;flexGridModule

I told ALL of you so many times (including before Bush 2nd term) the Electoral College MUST be Eliminated.

You bought off on the LIE, about Representing the Populations, LOL. Go read the early US Congressional Records, the Rich Elitist Founder Fathers that refuse to "Pay Their Fair Share" of British Stamp Act Taxes stated while establishing the Electoral College, "The average Citizen is too ignorant to determine the Highest Offices of the Land, President and Vice President".

As stated before, anyone that Reelects President Obama IS wanting the US Economy to fail (Depression worse than the Great Depression), with President Obama driving the US On The Road To Greece.

But what do you do, by your Votes you Reelect the very same that Caused most of the Current Problems, I am not going to spam the long list again of President Obama's previous actions.

Take some personal Responsibility.

Voters
Politicians manipulate voters every day with half-truths -- or outright lies -- about taxes, spending and many other issues that directly affect the nation's prosperity.

Too many voters embrace feel-good propaganda that they want to hear instead of learning the basic facts about issues they care about. They should do a better job of calling out dishonest politicians -- and shunning media outlets that stoke political food fights.

Drill Baby Drill-3459380 - I'm think Obama is in a great spot to do what Clinton did for love of nation.

Go learn to do a Causative Timeline you would not even be worshipping former President Clinton if you knew everything he F**ked up.

@1funnygirl, you may have proven yourself too intelligent for the majority of the posters on this comment area.

Please accept an attawoman and keep telling it like it needs to be.

@david-475776 Unfortunately too many people are unaware of the occasions on which scout/sniper teams had eyes on OBL and couldn't get a green light from the Clinton administration. How much grief could have been eliminated by removing the intern from under the Resolute desk?

You say this:

How very mature of you.

And then this:

You're just demonstrating that child-minded people are now calling the shots in this country. The adults are now outnumbered, and apparently have been, for 5 of the last 6 presidential elections.

Pot calling the kettle black.

what mandate ??? ---- popular vote was too close for that ----- what IS a more important measure, is that 9 million fewer people voted for obama than in 2008.

Brian35897

It was nearly 50/50 popular vote the entire run.... and everyone and their grandma KNOWS the electoral college system sucks and needs to be removed. Obama won even by popular vote in the end but a 2 million vote margin is HARDLY a landslide.

Well it's approaching 3 Million(50-47) but its a hell of allot better than Bush in 2000 when he made it very clear and you agreed he had a Mandate. In 2000 G W Bush had a Negative Lead of -543816. That's right he LOST the popular vote and claimed a Mandate.

Someone got some splainen to do Lucy. Loved that show.

ronpal

what mandate ??? ---- popular vote was too close for that ----- what IS a more important measure, is that 9 million fewer people voted for obama than in 2008.

That would be right. That's about the same number as were Disenfranchised with the New voting laws. I keep asking will someone please find me 1 case of someone impersonating someone to vote at an in-person voting place. The whole reason for the laws is to stop something that does not exist.

Bubby's Grampa,

Most people do not know about that. And why President Bush (43) Amending the US No Assassination Policy in 2006 was critical.

OBL was only want of many of the President Clinton FUBARs, that resulted in Deaths. Something else that I was involved with was his volunteering the US Military with UN Mission Somalia II, Operation Continue Hope, you know that as the Battle for Mogadishu, aka Blackhawk Down.

There was also H.R.4655 "Iraqis Liberation Act of 1998" Justification Section 2 Weapons of Mass Destruction, Section 3 US Policy Overthrow of President Hussein as 1998 Operation Desert Fox, 2001 Operation Viking Hammer, 2002 Operation Hotel California and also as later 2003 Operation Iraqis Freedom.

The Biggest President Clinton FUBARs pertained to the US Economy. And Gutting US Intelligence Agencies. Also Cut to the Bone Reduction In Forces (RIFs) of the US Miltary. Cuts to the Defense Budget (lack of Funds for the US Army Corps of Engineer Infrastructure Projects, like the Levees at New Orleans).

All while he was moistening his cigars in Monika's vagina (seems women voters liked his endorsements of President Obama based on results).

FoxTrotsky,

Do you really believe that is the entire problem with your proposed solutions.

What did President Obama spend $2.1 Trillion on that was not previously Budgeted for; requiring cuts to the previously Budgeted for Programs (like Medicare), Projects, Agencies, including the cuts to the Entitlements and Benefits of the "47%".

What part of the US Government Budget are the US Infrastructure Projects, Programs within the US.

Just a Historical Precedent:

When the British attempted their "Tax the Rich" and "Rich Pay Their Fair Share" of British Stamp Act Taxes.

What did the Rich Founding Fathers do.

When the US during the Great Depression attempted "Tax the Rich", and "Rich Pay Their Fair Share".

What locations external to the US became famous for the Rich to either flee to or to send their earned money to.

After Chancellor Hitler got into power and stated, "Rich Jews Own Everything", "Jews must pay their Fair Share", etc..

What did the Jews do, and what did Chancellor Hitler do.

During the 1970s when the British attempted their "Tax the Rich", and "Rich Pay Their Fair Share".

What happened at England. What were the names of the British Icon Businesses that left England. What English Rock Band also fled England's Taxes.

In 2008 when Candidate Obama stated "Tax the Rich", "Rich Pay Their Fair Share".

What was the Result. Specifically, who left the US.

In President Obama's 2012 State of the Union Address what did President Obama state pertaining to Taxes as a problem.

2012 at France, when they stated their "Tax the Rich", "Rich Pay Their Fair Share".

What happened.

What US Law made the Causes of previous Depressions Illegal. Who eliminated those US Laws, and what were the Results. And why didn't President Obama reinstate those proven successful US Laws.

I never said anything when Bush got elected in 2000 and didn't vote for him (or anyone at all that year) so stop putting words in my mouth. I was too busy training in the Army at the time and didn't give a damn about politics.

I don't have any explaining to do. Your post just further proves my point!

The electoral college needs to be canned!

Ummm. Budgets are set and passed by Congress. President only recommends a budget, Congress passes them, and President has to sign it. But Congress hasn't passed a budget for a very long time now (predating Obama). Instead they find it easier to just kick the can down the road. So I got no problem with deep cuts, but the Prez and Congress got to work together on the budget.

$4trillion over 10 years

still puts us $24 trillion in the hole by 2016.

in other words, he's not willing to do enough

If the Republicans didn't stonewall.. Obama would've racked up 8 BILLION in debt!

LOL

And if Romney had won the Senate would have become the party of NO.

It really doesn't matter. The rich will get richer and the government will dictate more. Nothing will change.

Oh well, its over. I will join the left now and retire today. Now I can say "TOO bad, I got mine". Get hide of the Bush tax cuts, I won't be paying taxes anyway. Just got to figure out how to chew those food stamps. Wonder if I will be able to buy at XBox with the 1st welfare check. I get to move into government housing, no more rent ($60/mo.) All bills paid. NO MO bills, NO MO bills. I was a bottle baby, now I will learn what is like to suck tit.

P.S. Tyler & Sally UP YOURS

Good luck with that Paul, hope you enjoy bonding with your neighbors in government housing.

Let me know how it all works out for ya!

The only mandate for Obama is to continue with hate, division, race, blame, and excuses. It is what Obama ran on, it is all you can expect from him. Obama has the keys of AF1 and the nations American Express card, 20 trillion in debt is right around the corner. Socialism is on its way, and it will be met with raucous applause from Democrats.

3/4 of Americans know the nation is on the wrong track, the fact that so many would knowingly vote for someone who continues lying to their faces, talks down to them like morons, and blames others for his failures all for the promise of "free" handouts borrowed from tomorrow proves it.

To have a mandate you had to run on an agenda. You can't lay out an agenda after the election and call it a mandate. Obama ran on hate, division, race, blame, and excuses. Obama ran the single most negative hate filled campaign ever seen from an incumbent, and it is a pretty sad day for American politics that the Democrats endorsed it. Obama won, the nation lost.

Seems to me that Romney was the one that catered to a specific race and class (white, middle class, non-college educated), while Obama was far more inclusive. Regardless, neither candidate ran a clean campaign (they were both exceptionally negative and hateful). And regardless of whether you look at the electoral votes or the popular vote, Obama certainly did not get a mandate. Of course, neither did the Republican-led Congress.

I think both parties better stop thinking in terms of their parties and be a bit more grateful that the people gave them both one more chance to stop bickering and start governing.

I guess Sandra Fluke is as giddy as a child on Christmas! She can now continue with her lifestyle, having you and I pay for her birth control.

Like I said: non-college educated. Nuff said.

did you not note that obama received 9 million fewer votes than he did in 2008 ?? ---- you don't think that means something ???

Sure did. Romney was a much better candidate than McCain. Also - the economy sucks. But did you not notice he still lost? And losing by less does not a mandate make.

I had high hopes that Romney would be a good moderate alternative to Obama (I'm not a big fan of Obama either, by the way). Instead he had to turn hard to the right to secure his nomination. That will get you the party hard-cores, but ultimately will cost you votes. Hopefully, like I posted earlier, both parties will get their respective heads out of their collective arses and start making decisions for the country instead of for their party.

Obama was right about one thing and one thing only, his supporters are STUPID. They will learn and learn the hard way, that their ignorance is not bliss.

what have you heard that would make you believe there will be more cooperation ?? ------ i'm not saying things would be any better with romney ----- either way, we would have some tough times ahead of us.

Oh yeah letting those Bush tax rates expire on the top earners will fix everything. Can't wait for the day of revelation for Democrats regarding the giant tax the rich myth Obama has been spewing. All those tax dollars are going to come rolling into the Federal Treasury the day after those rates expire, and that influx of revenue will be gone by lunch time. Obama does not care one bit about the massive debt he is running up, and anything he proposes will be smoke and mirrors and many moons down the road. When Obama leaves office, this nation will owe more then 20 trillion and will have passed the point of no return.

This is the reason Obama had to go after the youth vote. He fooled the women into thinking somehow their reproductive rights were at risk(bs) and the young don't know much about financial matters so they vote for the cool candidate.

If Obama does not confront our financial problems he can no longer blame Bush and the Republicans.

They are already blaming the Republicans,When O's done with us and crumbled our Nation they will still blame Bush And the Right,Im embarrassed by any woman that was duped by these lies O spewed,Im waiting for him to tell us we won't need to vote anymore because he will be The last President.

Rick-3416939 - Oh yeah letting those Bush tax rates expire on the top earners will fix everything.

That is just one more of the Myths the Demoncraps believed, with the Fact being that the ENTIRE Bush Tax Rates for Everyone (Rich, Middle Class, Poor) will expire.

davsie,

Too bad, so sad, most people Voted based on; Popularity Not Substance, Emotions not Logic, Opinions not Facts, Excuses not Results, Academic Idealism not Experience, etc..

So all I can say is that they MUST take Responsibility for their Votes (Decision).

G-Dog-787120 - As for foreign relations, Obama is far superior to the alternative we were given.

Not from what I have seen (experienced firsthand) Worldwide. Due to President Obama's Policies those US and US Allies Losses are PERMANENT. If you don't know what President Obama Losses I am talking about, don't feel bad those that reelected President Obama don't have a clue either (or if they did they would have been in front of the Whitehouse screaming "Impeach").

Oh yeah letting those Bush tax rates expire on the top earners will fix everything. Can't wait for the day of revelation for Democrats regarding the giant tax the rich myth Obama has been spewing.

Sorry, but I thought it was pretty clear that is only PART of the solution and that other things needs to be on the table too.

He fooled the women into thinking somehow their reproductive rights were at risk(bs)

The main reason women voted for Obama is because Romney/Ryan would clearly have sought to end Planned Parenthood and restricted abortions at the very least, possibly overturning Roe v Wade. If you don't think these are important issues for women, then you're deluded. Just accept that your candidates positions on these types of social issues lose them votes. LEGITIMATELY. That you can't understand that shows where the problem is.

Many of us were unhappy Obama wasn't able to turn things around faster but we'll never accept republican my way or the highway obstructionism. This countries operated by a government willing to compromise for the good of the nation since it's founding. A right wing unwilling to compromise isn't worthy of support. Romney/Ryan spent all their effort telling us that Obama wasn't doing enough but never explained how their idea's were better or even how they could work. Running on a platform of getting the black man out isn't enough to win.

Larry I'm sorry that's all you heard... The media did its job

You didn't see because you didn't look. These headaches were in place quite a while ago. Maybe now, hopefully, you (and the rest of the country) will care enough to actually look into things. You would probably still vote for Obama but at least it'd be for a defensible reason. "i'm a sheeple" is just disgusting...

@zz Hopefully you are being sarcastic.

_______________________________

As Chuck Todd stated - '$6 billion for the status quo'....I said it 4 years ago, 4 years before that, and even the 4 years before that and I'll say it again to anyone that will listen:

The money spent on our elections would be better spent having everyone 17 years and older take a mandatory paid day for a "facts of form and function of the U.S. government" civics lesson. That would be the money better spent....

If we can do a mandatory census, why not something that might actually help the U.S.A. heal its divisiveness.

Obama ran his entire campaign on hate, division, race, blame and excuses. No incumbent has ever run a more negative hate filled campaign, and unfortunately all the Obama supporters endorsed it with their vote. The leader of the nation sets the tone, and what you see in this nation is what you deserve for electing Obama. All Obama ever seemed to care about was the keys to AF1 and the nations American Express card. But the scary part is now we might actually find out he also had an agenda.

Unfortunately, most people were not paying attention to what this article states prior to the election and voted blindly, Republicans did not do a good job of getting the message out. Obama will have to change as Clinton did if he wants to get any cooperation at all from the Republican House. He can't go back and say "I won" as he did in his first term during the Obamacare meetings. We are in for 4 years of stalemate unless that happens. Sadly, I don't believe he has it in him to actually do that. His arrogance would have to come down a peg. Maybe I'm wrong but... Watch what he DOES, not what he SAYS and the truth will reveal itself. Clinton was a lot more charismatic and able to make the transition in his 2nd term. Obama is no Clinton.

Republicans have to learn to better communicate their message and reach out to the minorities and recognize the diversity of the country if they want to stay in the game next time around. Ironically, there was a lot of states whose voters selected a Republican Gov. or Rep. last night over a Democrat even though they went for the President. Example, Paul Ryan, he lost as VP, but gets re-elected in the House. Thankfully, people recognize that we need a balance. All one party is dangerous. Absolute Power? And I'm all for term limits. The President has term limits but congress doesn't???

Let's hope we see some good out of the negativity and uncivil like actions that we've endured from both sides. And, most of all, the Main Stream Media has got to do it's job and report the facts without bias so that people like zz-1971295a are given the opportunity to make up their own minds based on such facts. Our news is like a communist dictated medium nowadays. Where have all the good journalists gone?

To the Ohio Union autoworkers. I just have to say, if they did their homework, they would find it was G.W. Bush who wrote the first check for the auto bailout, not Obama. This is what I mean about news being skewed and I'm not praising Bush here, just stating the FACTS as I wish the media had but instead insulted the intellect of the American people and did not report both sides.

In late December 2008, President George W. Bush gave GM and Chrysler and their finance arms $25 billion, and gave them until Feb. 17, 2009, to file viability plans with the Obama administration. "In the midst of a financial crisis and a recession, allowing the U.S. auto industry to collapse is not a responsible course of action," Bush said. from Detroit News - Oct. 3, 2012

Benghazi can turn out to be Obama's Bay of Pigs. Let's see how that plays out and who will be the sacrificial lamb. Will this story become news now that the election is over? Or will he get a pass as Kennedy did and let his CIA director take the fall?

I don't think people looked too closely when they voted. It all came down to skin color instead of issues. All I can say is, sit back and enjoy the ride! It is done.

Rick: STFU you loser. Lala lala la la - you lost, you lost, ha ha ha ha ha ha!

There, I feel much better. Now - can we start to discuss issues instead of reading the constant rants by those who incorrectly predicted a landslide victory for their candidate? Are they more angry because their candidate lost, or that they were wrong? Get over it. Move on. Get with the program. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Should I call you a wambulance? Do you want a refund of all the dollars you gave to Romney (it's probably safely stashed in the Cayman's and Mitt's not giving any refunds)? I wonder if Mitt will wake up one morning and find Queen Ann's horses head in bed with him.

The hate and division has beem coming from the TPRepubs for the last 2 years. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' republicans got into bed with the TP'ers and are now paying the price. TP'ers are nobodys friend. Ask Boehner.

Pat - All Obama has to do it let the republicans know he is willing to let the Bush tax cuts expire and let the fiscal cliff happen. What has he got to lose? When it happens the repubs will be clamoring to come to the table and start compromising.

And the repubs criticism of the auto bailout is never ending even though sane people know a managed bankruptcy was impossible. GWB may have done it, but TPRepubs blame Obama for it anyway.

ZZ Do not feel so bad because the major news stations let us down because ABC,CBS and NBC all covered for Obama. Obama could do no wrong and the networks hid the truth from us. I had to switch to Fox news to get anything on the killing of our ambassador and other important issues. This election I had to watch many news shows just to chase the facts. I also had to search other sources on line. So in short you had to be really ambitious in order to find the facts. I got a lot of facts from a watchdog group called "opsecteam.org They exposed all the national security leaks that Obama has done. Obama's America 2016 exposed Obama's real intentions towards America. Obama admitted himself on Sat. November3, 2012 while on the campaign trail vote for him is a vote for revenge. Here Obama confirmed the accusations made by Desousa in his movie 2012. So the information was there but you did have to chase it.

blearyeyed:

So, Obama can resort to extortion??? Sounds like a union thug tactic. I think it's evident by the split popular vote that is exactly what people are tired of. Dems way or the highway, Republican way or the highway. If he chooses to operate that way, then it's equivalent to the "I won" comment. So let the blame game continue. So frustrating.

zz-1971295a,

Too bad, so sad, most people Voted based on; Popularity Not Substance, Emotions not Logic, Opinions not Facts, Excuses not Results, Academic Idealism not Experience, etc..

So all I can say is that they MUST take Responsibility for their Votes (Decision).

You believe the Six (6) things mentioned above are "important" you have not seen the Results of the President Obama screwups from his first term yet.

Sad to say President Obama created a "poison pill" for whoever became US President with his previous President Obama Proposal to US Congress, and now he has to "deal with it" (and does not have any idea of how). With the only one's losing in this case being the US Citizens, US and maybe even the US Allies.

Somebody call the Waaaaaaahmbulance!

The right wing trolls need a crying towel.

Ok guys, continue with your outlandishly illogical rationalizations of why you lost.

The truth is your philosophies (trickle down, bring women back to the 19th century) do not work for We the People, and have been soundly rejected.

You can spin all you want about it, but that's God's plain truth. We don't want your failed trickle down B.S. We don't want another 10 year war. We don't want to go backwards. Period.

So "We the people" numbering over 57 million that voted against Obummer don't count?

Fine let's all pick up and move to a different country and take our ethics, honesty, and hard work with us.

Oh wait? Who is going to pay all those taxes you need paid for your handouts then?

Hmmmmmmmmmm...... I know it will be tough trying to fart out money... but the best of luck!

Brian-numbers:

Your right wing already picked up and moved to other countries. Namely China with all our jobs. Your outsourcer in chief built his billions sending jobs away.

Take your ethics, honesty, and hard work with you? Please. Romney is under ethics charges as we speak for embezzling auto bailout funds into his hedge fund.

Honesty? Your candidate lied so much he made Nixon sound honest.

Hard work? Sitting around and leeching off the working class while paying no taxes on your Cayman sheltered capital gains is hard work?

Yeah yeah go on back to the tired old talking point of "Dems are all on handouts durrrrrr" Aren't you 57 million people tired of factless talking points, spin and your leaders selling you out for the very elite 1% that put you in a recession in the first place?

pretty much the entire lib thought train.

Obama is in bed with Mainland China, along with the Clintons...

After living almost a decade in Asia, it is very easy to see where things are leading...

With a New China Leadership taking-over, things will become even more testy. The NEW Leaders will not want to be seen as easy on those perceived as threats to their sovereignty and claimed territories...

Their new 'Blue Water' Navy will be flexing it's sea power and holding the use of their missile defenses (DF-21d) as a Trump Card to keep the USA Naval vessels @ a safe distance...

The areas to watch closely are; Tibet, China Sea, and their access to resources & sea lanes...

I've lived in China for years and I dis-agree. The last thing they want is a confrontation with the West. Intimidation is one thing, mutal assured destruction, (MAD) is another. They've sent ships to the islands but they know better to open fire on the Japaneese as it would bring swift retaliation from the West. These islands were purchased legally by the Japaneese whether they like it or not and will remain that way. Tibet is another issue and I consider it taboo as far as the west is concerned. Chineese people have been ruled for five thousand years by different Kings, Ming, Qing,etc, in a very diverse population and even Jackie Chan stated himself, "the Chineese people need to be ruled". If you lived here as long as I have you'd see what I mean. They would all kill each other if they didn't have a ruler to govern them. If you mention democracy here, many Chinese people will tell you that they don't won't to be like America with all it's problems and debt because they save their money. And if you think that the Chineese people are all poor, you're dead wrong. They live better than most Americans do. What is the price of a loaf of bread in America, what, 2 bucks or more a loaf? I can buy a nice loaf of bread here for seventy five cents. What's wrong with this picture? Cigarettes are a buck a pack and beer is forty five cents a bottle. Basically all you're doing in America is working your tales off to make ends meet let alone the job stress that comes with it. I'm an American that was a victim, like so many others, of greed at the corporate level and was twice laid off from two jobs over a peiod of thirty years so that some jerks at the top could pack it all in and relax in their summer homes while I was worrying where I'd find another job. And now to add salt to the wound, you have Obama for four more years. NO THANK YOU!!!

Taboo subject in China???

Try:

1. The 'Cultural Revolution' where thousands of Chinese KILLED & ratted-out their families, neighbors,teachers, and former Politicians/Police...

2. What about the Uyghurs and their cultural genocide, by the Chinese...

3. The Chinese incursions into Cambodia, supporting Pol Pot and killing of thousands of teachers, artist, scientist, and regular Cambodians...

4. Tibet is considered now a part of China due to the supposed joining during Genghis Khans rein of China. Prior to this China had signed several Treaties with Tibet. But historical records show Tibet was a INDEPENDENT COUNTRY during 1949 and served as the Mongols spiritual adviser. Never joined to China...

5. The Chinese invasion of Vietnam territories has resulted in China's A$$ being kicked - 17+times...

Opps - Sorry if you are in China, their Internet prevents you from discussing these topics...

BTY - I'm currently living in Asia and have for years...

The USA would never directly place US Troops into China. But they have trained Tibetans to fight the Chinese forces after the 1949 invasion...

The Chinese do not have the abilty presently to project force and maintain it, beyond their border areas...

And you are correct - If China used a missile against a US Carrier Group. The USA would go NUCLEAR...

BTY - I just spent the summer in a Communist Farming Camp on the Thai/Lao border...

So I'm well versed on the collective mind-set and their aspirations...

The Thai, Vietnam, Loas, etc Communist are not supporters of the Chinese incursions into their areas. The Mao Cultural Revolution and other failed polices have insured that China will remain outside of many Asian political parties...

While your description of the Urbane Chinese is accurate, there are still Hundreds of Millions of Chinese farmers that are living well below the poverty level...

But here again you are restricted from FREE travel through many areas in China. So you would not know, I do because I have Chinese relatives and close friends...

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee, 4 more years of watching Obama try to get a 3 some with Whoopie Goldburg and Joy Behar. American voters have only solidified their stupidity.

AC Robertson - Their new 'Blue Water' Navy will be flexing it's sea power and holding the use of their missile defenses (DF-21d) as a Trump Card to keep the USA Naval vessels @ a safe distance...

The DF-21d is not what I would be worried about, it would be their 21st Century Long Range Hypersonic Anti Ship Missiles.

AC Robertson - And you are correct - If China used a missile against a US Carrier Group. The USA would go NUCLEAR...

Not really. President Obama's Eliminations of all Nuclear Weapons indicates the opposite; as stated to the UN, US Congress, and a President's Proposal to US Congress.

Bob-796276,

Those Islands are only a minor concern compared to what the Chinese plan to use their Deep Water Navy for. I would tell you to go visit someplace at China and take some pictures; but, more than likely you would get caught and be disappeared or have a fatal "accident".

Romney did well playing to his base which was stupid. Why would you brag about ending funding for Planned Parenthood which though you'll get cheers from the far right you lose millions of women who depend on them? He lost Ohio still touting his managed bankruptcy for the auto industry even though any one with a brain knew there wasn't funding for it during the bank crisis. Had he even said he'd have supported government help had the auto companies not been able to receive outside funding he might have pulled some votes. He didn't. His wanting to increase military spending 200 billion a year plays well with those whose vote he already had but played poorly with undecided moderates who oppose adventurism and are concerned with the deficit. His unwillingness to explain how he'd cut revenue 5 trillion, add 2 trillion to the military and pay down the deficit made many think of Bush spending without regard to the deficit. Romney never explained anything he simply said trust me. Too many didn't.

Oh woe is me, Obama won't get tough on China. Psshhh.

Your candidate Romney was outsourcing jobs to China mere days before the election. His company even took down the American flag and forced workers to train their Chinese replacements.

Go google Sensata if you dare leave your Fox induced non-reality bubble.

The undisputable truth is Obama is tougher on China than any of his predecessors.

When Romney started going on about how he was going to get tough on China I couldn't stop laughing. Why would he bite the hand that feeds him?

Maybe if you guys lie enough about how Chrysler is going to outsource it's jeep production to China it will make it true. Nope, the company refuted your candidate's (repeated) lies about it.

Maybe if you lie enough about how Obama's in bed with China, or how he wants to "get rid of all nuclear weapons" it will make it true. Nope.

Still just leaves you an ignorant liar if you spout that stuff.

Dangerous Mind,

Ask the Clintons about their Chinese DONATIONS, they were forced to return:

1. Lippogate - A total of $452,000 in illegal donations was given to the DNC from the Indonesian Lippo group. John Huang, a Clinton cronie and former Commerce department official with top level FBI clearance pled guilty to funneling Lippo group and Chinese donations to the DNC...

2. Chinesegate - Clinton administration gave military technology to Communist China. This information included satellite guidance technology and enough information for communist China to modernize their nuclear arsenal.

Ask Obama about his Chinese donations in 2008. Opps they are sealed along with his education records...

Obama.com was registered in September 2008 to Robert Roche, an Obama campaign bundler living in Shanghai, China, according to GAI.

About removing ALL NUKES - is BS, But the restrictions on 'Long Range Bombers', now less than 135+total. Is a totally different subject...

BTY - The DF-21d is the hyper-sonic anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), with a maximum range of around 2,700 kilometres. The satellite guidance and detection system is now operational...

Although I do not know AC Robertson, I have seen many of his posts on here over the past 3-4 years and his knowledge on subjects pertaining to all things SE Asia have tended to be spot on. Many of his predictions have come to fruition as he had stated.

So, along with personal research, I tend to agree with his position on this subject and, this being said without any malice, I would invite anyone to bookmark his statements and then come back later to see the results. In the past, he has been non-partisan and very accurate with his statements, for whatever that is worth to anyone reading.

Dear Dangerous. I am laughing at this article about Sensata... 170 jobs are you serious lol, wow impressive... Look at Apple... now there some serious outsourcing

so the real question singleup, is can your guy you voted for be bigger than himself and take a page out of Bill Clinton's book and be more moderate and less extreme and reach out and get stuff 100% of the country wants done and not just his agenda, 'my way or the highway' that clearly only 50% of the country supports.

one thing good i will say about romney, and this election, is that he helped me win some money. ----- i made a series of wagers. ---- i won't win as much as i had hoped, but i did ok. ---- here's what i know so far.....because romney made it to 200 electoral votes, i win $200. ----- if romney stays above 47%, i win $500, plus $50 for each tenth above 47%. ---- if romney reaches 60 million votes, i win another $300. ------ thank you, romney

It would be nice to see a invite to join the cabinet or head up the IPAB, now that would be a bold move by the President-elect

Can we say the same thing about Republicans, particularly the Tea Party republicans who blocked just about every initiative that the president supported in the last two years--even initiatives that Republicans traditionally support? Cooperation is a two way street, and we certainly did not see a whole lot for Republicans, particularly in the Senate where they filibustered (or at least tried to) just about every major initiative in the last four years.

drdrew:

I think that "my way or the highway" can be laid at the feet of the republican congress. I know you're still angry about obamacare, but he tried to work with the republican house on other initiatives and got it stuffed in his face time and time again. In 2010 he went along with the republicans much so that the democratic base was ready to abandon him for caving too much. He had a deal with for 4 trillion cut with Bhoener and Eric Cantor nixed it. This president has faced unprecedented obstruction. When Bhoener can stand at the podium and say "I got 95% of what I wanted" How can you lay that highway thing on the president?

I also am a 'somewhat' fiscal conservative. We are spending too much. However the baggage of conservative social issues trump my negativity. Romney was too much of a flip flopper on his verbal responses to problems and issues. Not consistent and demonstrated that of a poor leader......and a sneaky one at that.

Robert -minnesota

Please let me know if I'm wrong, but I'm not aware of any President ever doing that with his former, final opponent. Obama did with Hillary Clinton, but they are of the same party.

singleup

'I think that "my way or the highway" can be laid at the feet of the republican congress"

All the blame cannot be put on the House. The Senate has tabled virtually every bill the House has submitted. In addition to refusing to submit a budget (balanced or not) for the previous 4 years.

At least the Senate could have modified the submitted bill and sent it back to the House. That is when the House re-modifies it and sends it back to the Senate. THIS is how COMPROMISE works in our legislature.

Our President should have intervened and put a little pressure on the Senate (and House) to start cooperating instead of just sitting on the sidelines and going on talk shows. Since he cannot campaign for another term, hopefully he actually sits down and at least tries to work at fixing our Nations problems.

Hint: We have more important problems than "green energy".

Before I go, I need to chime in on education and throw my 2 cents in.

The way to reduce the high school drop out rate is to establish more technical high schools.

Unfortunately, our high schools are geared for college prep. There is a vast majority of high school students that realize that they are NEVER going to go (or want to go) to college. But, if you can show the same potential dropouts a way to make a damn good living by giving them a trade, I would venture to say that it would cut the dropout rate substantially.

Viet Vet- Agree 100%

Back in 1971, I graduated from this type of trade school. Since then the system gradually devalued the "hands on" or "getting hands dirty" for the college bound.

40 years later, this is what we face. Now the pendulum swings back but it will take years to gain the level of tech grads to address industries current needs.

At least to the degree that we once were capable of.

They think Obamacare is a socialist program even though it was crafted by Romney who said it should be a model for the nation. They claim Obama crammed it down peoples throats but ignore it was his #1 campaign promise during his first campaign. If people opposed it they should have voted against him, they didn't. Funny that all 1st world nations including Canada, Germany, Britain etc. have national health care but countries like China and North Korea like us don't.

He'll be the same of the repuglicans are the same. Takes two to fight.....and two to make a compromise.

What did you expect for the ratio? 80/20? it's always close, which begs my questions: aside from the wealthy, the rich, the super rich and the uber rich, what are the blue collar and middle class values of Republicanism that the other half of the population has? Aren't they close overall to the values of the Democrats? If so why the hatred? If so why the support towards a pro uber rich candidate?

Most politicians are rich, so what.

Many middle class people see the federal deficits and they handle their own finances better than Obama has. Obama needs to lower the annual deficit number, period. Tax increases can help, but only if we decrease spending at the same time.

Americans better cinch up their belts as the government cannot float this many bonds forever. Austerity will be FORCED on us if don't do now.

So don't lecture on what values middle class people should lead to one party or another.

davsie - "Many middle class people see the federal deficits and they handle their own finances better than Obama has."

As last night proved, even more are willing to vote for someone who abandons financial responsibility to rob from the future to buy their votes today.

The sad reality is that parasites will continue to feed until the host dies and they are forced to feed on each other.

davsie: That's exactly the deal brokered by Obama and Boehner that was shot down by the TPRepubs because of their contract with Norquist. $4T in cuts for $1T in raised taxes - shot down by Cantor - then Boehner brags about getting 98% of what he wanted and that he was pretty pleased with himself.

It would not have been enough, but it would have been a start. It would have been a foot in the door for both sides to negotiate more from the other side.

Honestly - I see this all the time. Conservatives saying we need spending cuts to go along with tax increases when that is exactly what Obama has been proposing all along. Like it's a revelation. Obama has a pretty good idea of what needs to be done - you just have to turn off Rush and Fox News for a few days and listen to what's really going on.

Obama's idea of a comprimise:

Obama: Do what I said and don't ask questions!!!

Republicans: yeeesssssssss Ooooooooooobaaaaaamaaaaaaa.

Too bad this isn't fairyland.

It's fairyland in your deluded mind Brian-numbers.

Come back when you have something factual with a site, instead of more made up BS.

Don't you guys realize yet that's why you lost? Everybody has Google. Everybody can look up your outsourcer-in-chief candidate's lies. Everybody can look up your magic-land false Fox "facts".

Fox, the only network that went to court to defend it's right to lie.

Angelique-1524987:

I agree 100%. When he ran for president the first time, not one black person where I worked had a clue what his agenda was. All they knew was, "he's a Bro". Ignorance has a way of getting its habit!

Angelique: Wow, racism much? You're simply being ridiculous. American voters today voted for a compassionate, tolerant America, one in which a rising tide floats all boats.

We're moving beyond your brand of cynicism.

Come along. You might find working together for the common good a more joyful experience. Yes, there's a lot of hard work ahead--that, too, has its' rewards.

Negative Dee,

The only tide I see arising is an unthinkable amount of national debt.

At this point, your "tolerant" America will do nothing but weaken us financially at home and abroad.

Care to wager? When Obama leaves on 1/20/17, our debt will exceed 20 Trillion. You read it here first in 2012, enjoy your tolerance...

You are anything but Angelike right now. Bush put America in a 24 feet deep grave out of greed and incompetence. The black man has been mopping behind his destruction for 4 years, against obstructionists I might add, so even though it doesn't feel rosy yet( neither is it for me, I'm far from where I'd like to be), try to realize that and just say thank you Mr. President Obama. You will feel better out of congruence. If you want to hate because he's a nigga then talk to your therapist, cause I can't help you see he's half white too.

Turner, 96% of African Americans were expected to vote for Obama. What do you think that statistic means?

... obama got elected because of the tea parties ignorance on women and the 47% remark .... u cant disrespect 1/2 the country and expect to be voted in ....

.. Thank you WOMEN

.. Thank you GAYS

.. Thank you LATINO'S

.. Thank you VETERANS

.. Thank you MINORITIES

....... WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY WE LIVE IN ..... I WOKE UP THIS MORNING HAPPY AND CONTENT, MR PRESIDENT .... WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THE WORLD LOVES AND RESPECTS .... NO MORE WAR ! BRING OUR KIDS HOME !!!!!!!!

lulu98, 96% of the wealthiest Americans were expected to vote for Romney. What does either group have to do with you and me?

I was pointing out that there is racism against whites too. In fact, they are the minority. And it seems the only benefit I get from either side is to get screwed while they all play. How is yesterday going to make for a better America going forward? I just see more of the same. Is Obama going to make anything better? Is the Congress? If you read Woodward's book you will see how much it is going to take to get things going.

commonsense - "96% of the wealthiest Americans were expected to vote for Romney"

Despite being totally fictitious, so what if they did? Being successful and financially competent and using those qualities to decide on a candidate are the exact opposite of voting based on color.

P.S. Despite your obvious racism, plenty of non-whites have made themselves to be part of "the wealthiest Americans".

So speaking about someone's ethnic background is racisist ? Jeez this is why we are so different Libs and Repubs because speaking about ethinisty and stating facts is not racist,I hear the Jews turn out well for the Dems sometimes also? Is that rasict? I love The Jewish race and donate to their homeland relief fund so....hardly racist,also Obama is half Caucasian Arab and black so he is as Black as I am Irish or Indian.Please stop with the race card,we don't hate wemon,or any other ethnic People Blacks are not the only race to have suffered thu the Centuries,I belive all races have been victim's of some horrable act against them for varied reasons.

Wow, racism much? You're simply being ridiculous. American voters today voted for a compassionate, tolerant America, one in which a rising tide floats all boats.

Well...Mitt did pick up a couple percentage points since the 2008 election but when you see 96% voting one way, I'm guessing it's not just the candidate platform that people have in mind.

Note though...I'm not blaming anyone for voting that way, just as I would expect a larger number of females to vote for a possible first time female president, an almost unanimous vote from the black community for a black president is to be expected...but to "play ostrich" to the fact is really disingenuous Dee.

(The irony to it is that the white people are CONSTANTLY called racists...but the fact is, if they were the racists that they are called out to be on a regular basis, that 35% and 42% would have swung the other way due to color alone and the game would have been over before even getting to the counts midway part of the country.)

blue4u - ... obama got elected because of

Ignorance:

Voters
Politicians manipulate voters every day with half-truths -- or outright lies -- about taxes, spending and many other issues that directly affect the nation's prosperity.

Too many voters embrace feel-good propaganda that they want to hear instead of learning the basic facts about issues they care about. They should do a better job of calling out dishonest politicians -- and shunning media outlets that stoke political food fights.

How about learning to do a Causative Timeline to find out the Truth (Facts, Causes) yourself.

Dee Turner,

Read this article:

How would black America react to an Obama loss?

AND THEN THERE IS THE OVERLOOKED FACT: President Obama's Proposal to US Congress, chops the Entitlements and Benefits of the "47%".

Ginsberg was already replaced by Kagan and hasn't stepped down yet, don't increase the size of the court to tip the balance from it's current state. Like Roberts said We will suffer the consequences of the actions of those we elect, I believe a second term without worry about re-election will push an agenda that is not in the best interest of the United States. Hugo Chavez and Vlad Putin woke up Happy this morning, nuff said.

I agree.

EVERYONE better buckle up ....we're in for a bumpy ride

And Philipe Calderon is still passed out from celebrating so much last night.

Congratulations Mexico, enjoy the remnants of what used to be a place worth running TO.

Canada, start building your wall ASAP.

Scalia retire? Who will tell Thomas how to vote? Will Thomas take some responsibility and start to participate when he becomes one of the 'elders' of the court?

Maybe Scalia and Thomas will retire together, write a bucket list, and go climb some mountains.

Maybe he will put a stronger emphasis on education in PA - Especially English literature....... before you pull out your bible, please pull out a dictionary. Please

Ah..............don't be so positive Gary.

Gary

How many times have I heard that? The boogie man Obama is going to take your guns, what a crock. You people just cook up all kinds of crap in order to try and make this president out to be an ogre. He has been president for four years now and do you still have your gun? When is he going to take your gun? tomorrow? next month? next year? How about never, you're just paranoid. The president have more important things to do.

Don't they have schools in Pennsylvania? Don't they have spell-check there? I can see that there may be a caps key, as one word was capitalized. Or was your post suppose to make fun of people who live in Pennsylvania?

My eyes hurt from trying to read your post, Gary, and I pretty much gave up.

I think you are a bit emotional, angry and a coal work recipient. I'd recommend a therapist for you, nothing alarming though.

I find it funny how many ppl simply' forgot' he did in fact state in the 3rd debate that he thought it was time to 'revisit' the AW's ban. We are already seeing cities and states trying to toughen laws on handguns and ammunition <Cook county Il anyone?>. On the bright side, my evil nasty gun store should do pretty well up until those taxes kick in or they make all guns illegal so only the criminals have them.

On another oh so bright subject: California tree huggers managed to approve a tax increase on ppl making between $200-250k a year. I fall within that demographic.... ever trying living in a decent place in Cali on $100k a year. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Already we lose half our income to taxes between the feds and the state. Add the tax increase for Obama care and this state is done. More business's will leave in droves <who can blame them>. But hey!!! The drunken whores who can't keep their legs shut will get their abortions paid for by us hard working Americans.

Isn't it great to be a damned American this morning? NOT!!!!

Repeal prop 13. You may be surprised how quickly CA could recover.

I think Gary was thumbing his post on a smart phone. Evidently, one that is smarter than him.

Caggie- Obama has lied for 4 years...somehow he deserved to win?

Wow caggie so many facts and citations, very meaningful stuff. (sarcasm)

When you have nothing worth saying, say something hateful about your competition.... the Democrat way.

caggie, I would really be interested in your perspective after reviewing these:

5 pages of Obama’s broken promises:

Promise Broken rulings on the The Obameter

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-broken/?page=1

And more of his flip-flops here:

President Flip Flop: Barack Obama’s Broken Promises, Policy Reversals and Continuous Flip Flops

http://www.therightsphere.com/2012/04/president-flip-flop-barack-obamas-broken-promises-policy-reversals-and-continuous-flip-flops/

The forthcoming impeaching proceedings for his failed attempt to cover-up Benghazi should be at the top.

What do you want to bet he sweeps it under the rug? Or anybody but him will get the blame,he already tried that,and of course his supporters will ignore it too,all they have done so far is 2 say but Reagan,Bush ,then you come back with Carter,Clinton,and Obama gets lost in the Deflection.I hope for the Family's sake a real investigation is done,I mean they have the wires,tapes,videos,documents,A timeline other leaders in the area telling the press what happened. . . Seriously,Obama knew this would finish him so he stonewalled from the beginning by lying about the U-tube Video for two weeks as well as the rest of his Top Administration.Its a Sad Day.

Indeed. People who actually like Obama would have been doing him a huge favor to wisp him out of office, now he is going to have to deal with the mess he created, and as the last 4 years have shown it is going to be abysmal.

Looking forward to the locusts pal. I wonder if god changes his mind as we do? After all we are all created in his image.

Are you naked when you write this stuff?

Well, it seems all the fervent prayer from the Bible thumpers only led Obama to be elected again. Maybe G_d is a black democrat?

DANE .. it was not a matter of ABORTION ... it was "matter of choice" .... do u not get that .... can you comprehend .... women aren't running out getting abortions this morning ..... it was simply a matter of choice ... and that choice is between the woman and her god ..... not old white loser men .....

CONGRATS PRESIDENT OBAMA !!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA !

It's a matter of ignoring what inside the womb, and has much to do with selfishness. In any case, abortion will not become illegal.

Bush, suicide by Bush. Obama has been trying to revive the patient.

save the env - Emptying the patients wallet and spitting in their face, while also diverting more resources to buy foreign criminals has never revived anyone.

It ALLWAYS going to be BUSHES fault. . . .Why do they keep repeating this Montra ? No President has ever done this ever time it gets tough the blame game goes,When does it become his responseability ? You can't have it both ways.Take responsibility Obama,for our enemy's attacking us and you not making sure our men had what they needed or got them out like the British did,And doing the samething over and over with bailouts and spending bills,those are all Obama not to mention when Ocare fails. . .and it will,who to blame then?

What's the matter Jason from Jacksonville,

"Buyer's Remorse". Deal with that, take Responsibility for who you voted for.

Jason from Jacksonville - Do some research.

100% Correct, you do need to do some REAL Research. Start with President Obama circumventing US Congress "The Will of the People", keep clicking "Next", see anything Unconstitutional TOUGH, that is what YOU Voted for:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions

doorknob, post#23.

Already starting with the Blame Game, Playing the Race Card or the Lame Excuses for President Obama.

And I would NOT do what he has done. All of his FUBAR.

I sure couldn't. I have enough trouble remembering where my wallet is.

He has done the same slamming of everyone of his opponents,has even gone after their kids ( Sara Pailin)he slams the Right,Tea-Party,libertarian Party, Christians who " cling to there guns and bible" it goes on,so why would he be immune to people not liking him,he is not the first Guy in the WH or politics for that matter,If you don't have thick skin,it's not the game to get into,people will lie about you and he has done his fair share unfortunately, I find it hard to belive anything that he says,I do not feel he is genuine,he is a shapeshifter of character and says what he thinks someone wants to hear.He is very childlike when he is allways pointing his finger all the time to either blame or deflect,He does know how to run a Smear campaign Ill give him that,Romney just had too much of a moral compass to go after him like he should have on so many things when he had the chance.Obama never answers a hard question he just says...Look I Told You,or Let me be clear,or You know Inherited this mess ect ect

Great Comment!

Elk

Thanks, now I'm even more terrified....

A President Biden would be a big f**king deal. As big a deal as Harry Truman or Teddy Roosevelt. We could have had a President Palin if you idiots had your way.

Elk...what do have against bitter old white men?

Charlie Manson would be better than Obama or Biden!

The second in line is ready any time fate calls on him. A no bull@!$%# Vice President is a blessing. The dark ages of buffoons in the WH is over with this reelection. Bush will be known as the last of these national disgraces. The angry white male is a relic of times past. Soon the slightest gesture, facial moment or mispronunciation won't be "Fox" headline news. The pettiness will be abandoned for a united country.

Santhosha - The second in line is ready any time fate calls on him. A no bull@!$%# Vice President is a blessing.

HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. ROTFLMAO.

I told all of you before to go read Candidate Biden's Biography.

And Candidate Obama's 2004 Book, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

What's the matter too illiterate.

Santhosha - Bush will be known as the last of these national disgraces.

Pathetic, how about learning to do a Causative Timeline so that YOU know who Caused most of the previous and current US Problems. But, no it is very easy to play the Blame Game, for those too lazy to do the Real Research to find out the Causes to find out the Real Solutions to the Problems.

Santhosha - The pettiness will be abandoned for a united country.

Uh huh, President Obama's united country of the United Somalia of America. After all of the Permanent Losses Worldwide due to President Obama's Policies. Since it is evident that you don't know what the President Obama Permanent Losses were, LEARN TO DO A CAUSATIVE TIMELINE, that will make it very clear and obvious.

Santhosha

The 57 million people that voted against Obama think you are full of crap!

Brian35897,A fond farwell to you. You lost, we won. Goodby.
