Be happy - nothing changed.

His picks for the SC, will be more justices that will trample the Constitution, and tell us it is no longer needed.

I believe he ran a smear campaign against a good person. He is not the darling anymore. The pop vote was close. He is going to have to deal with the other 53% now. No more excuses on the Bush thing, he is inheriting himself now. I am doing better with it. Now if there is an issue I can now say "you voted for him, you were warned". Voting on social issues is not going to change the country fiscally.

Why does he have to deal with the 53%? He will never face election again. If, as I predict, we are in a much worse place 4 yrs from now....he will still retire a vastly rich president, and make millions to speak. I honestly think he doesn't really care if the rest of us suffer, and America suffers. He and his family are set for life.

Listen, he pulled the "it wasn't my fault thing" the first time he can't get away with that now. Really, if he does not perform we won't ever have to see his face again. He will be like Bush, who will never be invited to the RNC. And if the market falls big time he can't get out of that. Those who voted for him will not be easy on him. And really this is good for the future as long as we don't go bankrupt. We can look at it as a test of these principals. I personally do not think we can support this sort of policy but let's see. When if falls apart it most likely won't happen again.

I heard someone say that rep. can't stand the browning of america. Once again, the disrespect is part of this smear campaign then they wonder why there is such division. Let's see what my kids generation will do when their parents die with no inheritance and they finally have to step up on their own. These kids are living on their parents prosperity and spend their lives skiing. When they don't have iphones and have to depend on themselves and can't do the same for their own kids we will see what happens.

I know because I saw it with my own kids generation. They think they did it when their parents are doing it for them. And their parents grew up in a time of prosperity. That is why they have what they do.

You make some good points, CG.

I think that one factor that it totally beyond any political control is that our country has lived off the prosperity and excess of the post-WWII era for a long time. We were effectively the only industrial country left intact after that war and so had a stranglehold on pretty much everything. In the ensuing years many countries have rebuilt and caught up with us, but we have not changed our perception of being king of the hill.

A lot of folks today seem to think the party will never end, as you say, CG. Well, that party has been winding down for a long time. And now, given what's going on in DC, that party is going to come to a screeching halt. We're going to be in debt up to our eyeballs to pay for all little o's bailouts and whatever secret under-the-table deals and expanding entitlements. Anyone who makes a dollar is going to see 80 cents of it vaporize. Folks just don't see that or they would have run him out on a rail this time around. So now we'll see what happens when he can't pull it out.

I am now stepping back and watching. And now when I hear someone talk about the wonderful Obama I will have a come back. I am looking forward to being able to say, "You voted for him". The "I didn't do it" argument won't work anymore. These kids are fine with part time jobs because they don't don't care about work. I see it all the time. And kept asking my kids how their friends pull it off. My son lived with me through college but worked hard and did it to save money from his horrible loans that he got with no help because he is a white male. I would have to say most of his friends had government assistance with college and partied right through college. One of his friends got his parents to pay for him to take a year off and travel where ever he wants to go for a year.

My son's job was a nightmare because no one worked and skied every weekend. He had to go somewhere where he was not the only one working all day. Okay so lets talk about this. Those that work and don't have that safety net are the 53%. I admit to some greed in wall street but that was an anti trust issue that could have been fixed by enforcing our existing laws. The browning of america, as this person who is Indian put it, was another example of believing the smear campaign that Obama started with. This was a social election. Let's see how it works out for them. $9 birth control and a part time job to pay for it and Obama care so that you can take it easy and enjoy life. The government is now our parents. If we can get away with it fine. But why do you think governments have their hand out? What is the world going to do if we can't help them? They may just pass us up. Then let's see what they think. If they are fine with it then yes America has changed and we may have to live with it.

I'm just waiting to see what happens when those receiving entitlements and those on low paying part-time jobs who live from hand-to-mouth far outnumber those who have taxable incomes. When the government debt collapses the country and the working stiffs who pay taxes can no longer pony up enough what's going to happen?

I was hoping that that would not happen in my lifetime, but now I think it will.

Come up with something new, you even have to parrot my own words back because you are the most unoriginal poster on this site.

I also think about the middle class that works so hard for nothing. Romney just was unable to make his case clearly enough.

Totally agree. The Left likes to blame outsourcing on evil rich guys, but actually, customers will buy from cheaper sources, and if American is no longer competitive because of ACA, Europe, Asia, and Africa will buy from other countries.
I read in the Week last week that we can expect a continuing spiral downward in wages and wealth as China & India improve their quality.
Fact, America lost 600,000 manufacturing jobs under Obama to be replaced with low wage, low security employment in the service industry.

FACT: The loss of manufacturing jobs started LONG before Obama ever got into office. You can thank Bush for the incentives that started the off-shoring (or is it out-sourcing, I can never remember), of manufacturing jobs to places where people work for 50-cents a day, there are no safety regs, and no environmental regs...

But, you go ahead and keep regurgitating your 4-year-old b.s. talking points. I understand that right now, you have nothing else.
