U r for Romney. It is not my business.
But millions working for some rich people means to be governed by them anyway.

Yes I am very disapponted. I thought there were more people with common sense there...
I pay little or no attention, but I know who most likely would want to be the Dictator.
Of course this is just my opinion, but Obama inherited the problems left by George W. Bush. It has taken much of the first 4 years to weed through that and it may take the next 4 years to clean up. Considering that you have a Democratic President and a majority run Republican Congress he will have an uphill battle. I think we would all be worse off if we had Romney as our Republican President with a full Republican Congress. Rather than a landslide we may have some balance. cool
If Romney never flip flopped like he did, he probably would be president today. The reason he lost is simply put, you could not believe anything he said or believe in any of his policy's.

The 47% remark never won him any fan's either.
Im with Angel on this one, inherited problems from the previous governments has meant that the first part of Obamas tenure has been to start the road to recovery.

Obamas re-election means this work can continue and while its true that his policies have not been popular and I would go as far as to suggest that some could of been handled differently, the end goal is not to line the pockets of his cronies but to set the country up to pull itself out of the mire that it finds itself in.

I have to say that I admire a person that heralds in unpopular policies and has a vision that the future of his country will be brighter because of it and the benefactors will be the children and grandchildren of everybody in the U.S.

JMHO

thumbs up
Inherited?
I seem to remember that he fought Tooth and Claw to get the Job!laugh
Wonder whom he will blame for the next four years!?confused
Conrad thumbs up thumbs up I guess he is just sacrificing for the sake of people innocent laugh
thanks Conrad and Ariel....it is great to read such comments...reviewing some of the debates this morn....and remembering the conversations last night w the elderly that i had and how they r so broke and despondent...it says a lot that Indiana voted for him (Mitt) this is a dead city one of the top ten...Elkhart is hardest hit w unemployment...and just worrying about the middle east is getting us nowhere except more hungry!!
Sweetie, I have experienced real communism and I am immunized against it forever. I know in the US there could never be the Western or even more the Eastern Europe socialism, but I still know it doesn t lead to anything good. The lazy ones get lazier and more arrogant and the others lose their motivation or move their money/business abroad. Then who will feed the famous 47%?

Anyway, the bitter lessons are useful, it s just always bad for the ones who are aware and have to suffer because of the majority (and in this case it s a very slight majority)...
yes Ariel u r very correct in ur statements...i had a friend who had been locked up in a camp in siberia...actually knew two people that had been...and the stories they told and the signs that they saw...it is very true...it is difficult...it is maddening to try to make it...people r so tight w their money nowadays cause of their fears which makes it even more difficult to make a living and people r turning against each other and getting more and more desperate...constantly to struggle to make it...the people who do work have to work 2-3 different jobs just to make it including yours truly...well not really making it but surviving....so many people r suffering....while others just sit around and collect benefits
Sweetie the bad thing is that the social injustice ends with an extreme reaction to it. Unlikely than in physics, in the society the reaction is usually much stronger than the action... So if some extreme right actions happen to balance the left craziness, people shouldn t be surprised..
Last night, as results were being shown, I looked through the state-by-state results on the NBC News web site. They had each state with each county showing red or blue (red for Republican and blue for Democrat).

Obama won Illinois because of Chicago... most of the rest of the counties were won by Romney. In Pennsylvania the story was the same... Philadelphia won the state for Obama.

Basically, urban voters voted Democrat. Rural voters seemed to vote Republican.

I heard that $6 billion was spent by the industry of politics for this election.

One key difference is that a politician from the Democrat party would look at this spending and call it an economic boost. It is... but one of the least effective. You see, there's no secondary market. The money is spent and after yesterday, no product remains. There isn't a secondary market in that industry. Nothing lasting was created. All jobs created by it were temporary. All physical products created are now worthless.

Sweetie - I'm not sad. I'm happy that the process worked. If the Republican party is going to be more successful, they need to show they are "for" the people who struggle (the ones who really do and the ones who are stuck in the (services) system for any reason).

Also - many of the 47% who don't pay income tax are retirees (like my mother). Retirement income is taxed differently than regular income from a job.

We have a budget problem coming up next month (debt limit), so in this regard, I'm glad the President will have to live with whatever solution gets passed.

We'll be okay... teddybear
All has to come to pass....doh
thank u for ur observations both ariel and richard...very interesting comments and data....and u too cali girl for saying hi...it's just something to adjust to i had some hopes...it is gonna take awhile for it to sink in....
Unfortunately, "common sense" is less common than we assume, Ariel.
