One thing did change. Obama getting elected was not a fluke the first time. Oprah bringing meth addicts to vote etc. People voted and wanted this president. It has changed my mind a bit about what people really want. As I said earlier, the country needs to see something big to believe the republicans. If he fixes this and obamacare works then the tide will change. I am going to sit back and see what happens. There is no way to know who is right at this time. I do believe that we are headed for crazy bad stuff and he cannot blame it on bush now. We are hanging by a string with no net. Romney did not scare the country enough about what is coming fiscally.

Not wishful thinking Fred. It's a fact and one that will be apparent as time goes by to those who don't see it already. You either ignore it, marginalize it or pretend it doesn't exist.
You wouldn't see the House speaker taking this stance a month ago:
After sleeping on it Tuesday night, Boehner appeared at the Capitol on Wednesday and offered a dramatically different message: He proposed, albeit in a noncommittal way, putting tax increases on the table.
“Mr. President, this is your moment,” he said into the cameras, reading, sometimes with difficulty, from a teleprompter. “We’re ready to be led, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans. . . . We want you to succeed. Let’s challenge ourselves to find the common ground that has eluded us.”
