galrads: Morning (here anyway), Dude. Keep rubbing it in. So sad, things are here in Ohio. People are regretting all the job losses we've seen and will continue to see in Ohio because of all Obama's and Obama's attacks on coal.
Actually. things are getting back to our four-year normal. The USA's presidential election is over for four-snore; so now we can watch entitlements grow and project sooner when our economy will go over the fiscal cliff, taking most of the rest of the West with us.....
We are ready to be led as Americans, Mr. Obama. Be successful. Be "OUR" President! What a joke... it's the end of the world as we know it..... everyone get in line for your phones!
Not sure if you are aware of how elections occur.
But, please know this....
The American people voted for Mr Obama. Those who got off their backsides, that is, as I understand it is unconstitutional to force anyone to vote. So it seems that your constitution supports apathy. Your forefathers wanted it that way and modern America continues to like it that way. So stop complaining and maybe help your fellow Americans do something constructive....How does it go now..?
"Ask not what America can do for me, but what I can do for America'
montemonte: Doodles, you worked hard to prove your loyalty to President Obama and you should be proud and celebrate his re-election.
But there is a fine line between celebrating and being obtrusive to people whose candidate didn't win.
It might be time to hold back throwing it in peoples face that Romney lost and Obama won.
I for one am hoping that Republicans and Democrats will work together, compromise on their differences and unite for the sake of America's future.
I too hope the same and that is the one and only way forward and recovery is possible and good for America and for the rest of us as well... but still... I am not sure Republicans can cooporate whole heartedly any way. Two absolutely different ideologies and two different goals and people who want Republicans or Democrats running the country got diferent ideas a bout how the country should be runned and then candidates got to show being on their side in order of getting their votes. Maybe an optin should become reality and Teaprtiers should kind of making their own very party and trying to get an edge in american politics some how? There are a lot gun clinging , relegious fentaics out there and who can represent them and can Republicnas really living with out them and gettign any real influence? Can those folks being represented by Democrats if Democrats really want to keep fighting for human rights and civil rights and marrige equality and similar very reasonable and modern ideas as that? You can simply not taking a guy who can not EVER accept an african american or a gay or a muslim or an asian or a woman or evne a Union member being Equal to him as a Human Being ... and making him chnage his points of views you see? And here by I mean NEVER! Can Republicans EVEr living with out these kinds of supporters? No the Can not! That is the problem ... and Working to gether? You mean whole hearteadly working to gether all way is a kind of impossibility and when ever vip Republicans claiming a wilillingness of "cooporation" it is only for the time being and for getting some more folks on their side, and when ever they get the majority they begin a gain becoming Akins and Bachmanns and Limbaughs or being Leaded by those kinds of folks! ' GOP ideology is a bout taking the money... and no body dares to tell some thing since being called names like "unamerican" and stuff like that when complaining a bout the Robery makes too many folks stop complaining and then Wow! Sending More money to Swiss and Cayman and else where goes Smooth... and the restt of the story I have told a million times at least.
I certianly hope I am wrong but kind of am NOT what so ever... it is Sad but some times truth Sucks
solitare: Given the Republican track record for the last several years in their attemps to help the vast majority of citizens and render all aid possible to their President in his efforts to clean up and fix what amounts to plain, outright sabotage of the government and economy by Republicans, I will say again that it is time to really put the country and it's citizens welfare and health with a fully functioning government and finally ban the entire Republican Party from ever again trying to subvert and sabotage what the majority of its people want. Other country's have used this method to bring about progressive reforms to governments and economies run into the ground by the opposing party. The Republican Party and its members need to be banned from ever taking part in the political process again. As was said in the tumultuous 60's, the Republicans are a menace , a threat to the country and the enemy of the vast majority of its citizens. The citizens are not the problem nor the enemy.
dadgamor: Excuse me i have to stop you and and ask you this question "what is rightfully ours"?? how can you say that the white house belongs to republicans?? and a liar??? let me see if i can understand this when bush was in office he lied to congress he lied to the UN he lied to the American people saying that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 when in fact Iraq had NOTHING to do with it who put us in a war that we did not have to be in? A REPUBLICAN who put this country in the mess that it is in now?? a REPUBLICAN and who is trying to fix that mess? and the white house does not BELONG to just one party the AMERICAN people voted and their voices where heard the AMERICAN people not just one political party! i was in the military i did 4 years in the Marines and 3 years in the Army Natl Guard you do take a oath to support and defend the US Constitution......and to take orders from your commander in chef you respect the President no matter who he is and to say that the house will block any bill and appointment by him in my mind is ludicrous how do you expect this country to heal and move forward? i also have a son who served in Iraq thanks to bush and next year he will be going to Afghanistan.i served this country and i was proud to serve at the age of 17 i was willing to fight and die if need be.you do not have to respect the man but you have to have some respect for the office of the president of the united states.it will take some time for him to fix the mess that bush a REPUBLICAN has put this country in
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
ooby_dooby: I heard Mitt Romney refer to Paul Ryan as a hero at a rally on TV once. This was before he tapped him for vice president. I don't think he knew the definition of hero. He would know if he met you. Thank you for going over there and doing the heavy lifting for me, and thank your son for me too. I hope he comes home safely.
Maybe being a "Rambo" on defensless deers and slaugtering them off and washing face with their blood, and then back home and forcing Grammy Work for the medicare is a Heroic thing or some thing?
Ccincy: Way too much commericalization of Santa anyway.
I know. I find it very sad as a matter of fact. Kids sabotaged by big capital companies and then presuring their folks buying and buying more. Christmas used to be Cool but now on days I do not know
Congratulations to President Obama on being reelected president of the United States. Turns out it is not all bad news for the Republicans. It seems that depression is covered by Obamacare." –Jay Leno (Share this joke on Facebook)
"Exit polls show that President Obama did well with women, beating Romney by 11 binders." –Jay Leno
"Some more good news – the president announced today he is not going to raise taxes on the entire 1 percent, just Donald Trump." –Jay Leno
"Trump is not giving up. When it was announced that President Obama easily won the Electoral College, Trump demanded to see Obama's Electoral College records." –Jay Leno
"Donald Trump is starting to lose it. At one point last night on Twitter, he called for revolution since Obama won. The man's a billionaire who owns golf courses, okay. You don't call for revolution. Billionaires are the first ones beheaded during a revolution." –Jay Leno

It's all about politics anyway.Our goverment has taken prayer and in some locations saluting the flag.
I think I read somewhere where now some places are allowing saluting the flag.But I could be wrong.
Eight day after the Hurricane Sandy, the FEMA managed response still has 650,000 people without power. NYC, NY and other states are now altering days when people can get gas. A type government gas control.
Some are saying that Sandy is Obama's Katrina. In fact the number of death in both are very close the same. And that two major city were flooded....New Orleans and New York City. They are very similar.

It's kinda like the smell of hope in the mornin', instead of napalm.. isn't it?

don't forget Andrew .... hit Miami hard. It is interesting that after the Tsunami the people were very polite and waited patiently - it was terrible - not so in american - people impatient - demanding the government do stuff - Obama acted fast - didn't wait to release FEMA to do the job that they can do - given the budget cuts.

Who is going to do the banning? As I understand, Republican candidate got just few percentage points less of votes in this election, so the party is well supported by the voters. Menace as they may be, it is a choice of many Americans and as such, fully legitimate. I think the problem is the duopoly of power, there should be more choices, but it is again up to the citizens to decide on the political system.

Yes there are still two parties, but the system is such that the majority of people want a democratic government, however much you try to couch this it is a fact. When you think about it it is the only way to vies it. The opposition still has the opportunity to express it's opinion, could you please tell me how else you would have the system work?????

It is a democratically elected government, no doubt. But I still think that more plurality is better because when these two parties, say collude implicitly on their policies, there would be the third and the fourth choice for the voters. If they want that choice, of course.

I see your point,and the American system requires enormous ammounts os money to be in the running, so it is effectively out of reach to the ordinary American.
They have plurality in Finland where you can have 50 people running for an office, This is where a candidate can succeed with very few votes. Perhaps the other end of the plurality scale
