Welcome to Liberal America!

Not just talking about the presidency, but look at the ballot issues. These would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Marijuana legalization in Colorado and Washington state. Gay marriage in Maine and Maryland. First openly gay Senator in history. Leading champion of banking reform blows away a Tea Party incumbent. And in recent legislative history, first comprehensive health care reform enacted and will be firmly implemented in the years to come. Don't ask, Don't Tell thrown out of the military. DOMA on it's way to being tossed out as unconstitutional.

All of this despite repeated GOP obstructionist.

We all have a great future to look forward to. Embrace it!

Not only Maine and Maryland... It appears that Washington and Minnesota's measures are going to pass too... I think DOMA is on it's way out...

And you're right--The rest of the ACA/Healthcare will roll out in 2014... And there's nothing the GOTP can do about it.

The demographics are changing, (as I mentioned in another thread), and the if the GOTP keeps going after their one demographic, thinking they can just blow off the others, they do so at their own peril.

Maybe in a social "do as you please" form, but the same people who are in now have no clue on economics. We will be free to smoke pot at will, and marry whomever we want.....all while sitting on the unemployment line and paying $5 for gasoline.

The democratic party has done a great job at parroting social issues, while completely ignoring economic ones. You are right. The next for years will really show what democrat policies mean to America, and we will have to decide if economics matter, or if we would prefer to become another france.

Good to see the "evolution" on gay issues, especially in such a short time.

The President has offered a great compromise on the economy, $3 in reduced spending for every $1 in increased taxes on the wealthy. The republicans have offered squat, just increasing taxes on the middle class while reducing taxes on the wealthy. Which do you believe is more likely to improve the economy, providing more income in pocket to the middle class while reducing the deficit or giving even more cash to the wealthy to stash in their tax havens in the Caymans and Switzerland?

Obama's tax plans will affect me and trust me I have no money in the Caymans nor Switzerland.

I welcome the social changes - they were badly needed and long overdue.

Social means nothing the government is too involved on both sides. It's the economy I care about. Obama better do something more than his dog and pony, smoke in mirrors thing. Now all the info that we should have had during the election is coming out right after.

Perhaps you could provide details CG?

His tax plans will certainly affect the middle class by keeping them at historically low rates in modern history.
