They're gonna come after you with everything they've got!
That'll be their first response sure.
But you gotta talk to them. You gotta talk to the Congressional representatives, Boehner, Hannity, that fat b****** Limbaugh. The American people will line up with anyone willing to make some deals. This is almost 2013! Nobody wants more gridlock...

There are actually some northern Republican governors, Christie, Scott Walker, my own governor Rick Snyder, who are conservative but show a lot of fight and backbone, get things done in states that aren't super conservative, and are not easily caricatured as wanting to re-enslave black people, put women back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant, and deport every single person who's browner than Carlos Santana.

I look to people like that to be in the mix for 2016.

Well my wife has been pregnant a lot, but not recently and as for being barefoot in the kitchen, she has full roam of the house if she wants. Jeez....it is the 21st century after all

And I was talking about the huffington post article. You got a little mixed up

I remember too well. Kind of why I have scaled way back from participating in these threads.

The guy I voted for won last night, but that doesn't mean I'm looking at everything through rose-colored glasses. Obama has a huge mess still on his hands. Hopefully both sides can work together and put some of their differences aside and do what's best for the country, not just their own political party.

Congratulations to the Democrats on here. Now let's hope the haters in the house of representatives are not gonna be too much of a pain in the ass.

And I was kidding, you have no sense of humor.

The late Ivyleague for instance. But he isn't posting here anymore out of principle because he was banned for two weeks. He did not maintain this principle at the real deal though, but maybe a one week ban is acceptable for him...

So, it's early here an I'm checking. Did the President get FL and is that included in the 303 EV count?

Not yet, Huffpost mentioned this, but has not yet included that 29 votes for Obama.

Good morning (evening) Afs.


Thanks for the info. I see even some of the CA props here went the way I voted too. A good election all and all IMHO.

TIS

Good Morning TIS!

Yeah, and Colorado and Washington(?) legalized marijuana.

Not exactly in a humorous mood when this country is facing four more years of partisan fighting. We have the wrong people in the house and a man in the oval office who I do not trust to solve our economic problems.

Shmoe you have no clue what you are talking about. Obama accomplished more in his first term than anyone other than FDR and LBJ, and he did it in the face of a reactionary congress led by the wackos in the House and the racist Mitch McConnell who made it clear from the get go that his primary goal was to make Obama a one term president. Now that the far right has been given the spanking it deserves, moderates from both sides of th aisle may be able to work out compromises to allow the country to move FORWARD even more.

Here is what some of the rest of the world thinks of President Obama's victory. With the exception of Iran, pretty positive. Check out the slideshow too. Nice pics

I knew from his postings before the election that he was going to be bitter when his boy Romney lost. He needs to get over it. It was an electoral landslide. The people have spoken.

Has anyone checked Fox News? Have they gone off totally off the walls yet?




TIS

I watched a lot of Fox last night, and surprisingly the post Obama victory coverage wasn't too bad. The funniest part was Karl Rove coming on after they declared Obama the winner. He claimed Ohio was still in play and the election wasn't over.

ROFL ... Karl Rove refused to believe Romney lost Ohio, Bill O'Reilly said white men no longer control America, and essentially that its all over for this country, an anchor walked off the set, and of course not on Fox Donald Trump has called for a revolution!

I expect Faux News will just go on and pretend Romney won.

AND all the superpac money put into the election. Can you imagine??




TIS

Apparently it didn't make any difference.

With the Tea Baggers backfiring in the Senate, and Romney's overwhelming rejection by the American people, maybe the GOP will get smart and take the party back to the center.

Well, everyone at Fox News is putting up a brave front.

Secretly, they are all happy Obama won. It gives them 4 years of material to work with. If Romney wins, they have nobody to attack every night.

So now that Obama won, and more than likely things are only going to improve since people are going to be more willing to work with one another..... Do you think that he will go down as the greatest president in history or one of the best?

Based on his first term? Not even close.

But he was the only choice this election year. Romney was just too out of touch. Now let's hope that Obama can right the ship here, have a Reaganasque/Clintonesque second term (your choice), and shut everyone the fuck up.

Let's slow down a little. I think it's safe to say he won't go down as the greatest President ever. Right now, I grade him as "good" and underrated for pulling the U.S. out of the disaster that was George Bush's 2 terms. 4 years from now, ask again how he stands in history.

What I am saying is if he pulls everyone together during his second term, and even makes more improvements to the point where unemployment is down to say 3 or 4 percent and so forth, does he go down as one of the best? Gas prices would be around $2.00 a gallon in 2016.

Republicans in full "buyer's remorse" mode with Romney this morning on all the talk shows.
