I have come to the conclusion that they just said to hell with it let’s go for broke were not going to win but we can make sure we spew or hatred across the airwaves just for ole time sake.
Thank goodness it’s a new day in the split states of AMERICA. I don’t think Obama consulted any of you on how to run the best presidential campaign ever !!! That’s right 364 Electoral Votes … OHIO that’s right INDIANA , FLORIDA he literally blew the RED off the Map … And guess what he won’t need your advice on cleaning the aftermath of an 8 year long gutting of this country by GREEDY CRIMINALS.. We all know BUSH should be impeached for a long list of actual crimes but mainly for his stupidity. This is a FACT chek your stock , try to sell your house for it’s appraised value. Oh yeah and where is LIBBY ..Right and Right again. And I guess if your still in denial and can’t see the red in your networth we all can agree that the race is over.

GO GET THIS BOOK HATRED WILL KILL for DUMMIES.

Whether you choose to see it or not, they face problems just based on the color of their skin. One man being elected president will not change the racist attitude. It clearly has not changed YOUR racism.

You use the same (lack of) logic in your Sarah Palin argument, so I suppose there’s no use.

@CSM – You and Jill should get together and have tea. Obama is not, and never has been, a supporter of terrorism. Please check a neutral source.

JLP, please accept that your issues are not others’ issues. Your social values are not universal. Your religious views are not shared by all, and many believe that religion and government. You can disagree with the outcome, you can be upset that your chosen candidate did not win.

Don’t insult voters by saying they did it because the TV told them to. I know of people who voted for McCain because they think Obama is Muslim. Reference your friend in the comments above.

Everyone voted for the candidate they thought was best. I’m sorry people dared to disagree with you.

@muckdog – you are absolutely right. Because of this economy it would’ve been next-to-impossible for a republican candidate to win.

“The Fed created a stock bubble and real estate bubble. Both crashed during Bush’s terms. ”
Yes, but the worst of it is that Bush put Cox to lead SEC and pushed for deregulation. As a result we got 5 investment firms leveraged 30 to 1 or 40 to 1. This was the reason for Lehman’s going out of business. Of course, democrats with their push to loan money to people who cannot afford it helped as well.

@gpglinka
“I agree, it is Jimmy Carter all over. Problem is I don’t see another Reagan out there.”
I am worried about it as well. I hope I am wrong. I am worried about more than just Obama. With democratic congress and democratic senate, many stupid proposals may pass. Like, for example, this union act that makes it easy to intimidate people into joining or some hair brained scheme that this “professor” Ghirarducci proposed to a couple of members of congress of destroying our 401K. There probably are a number of other proposals.

I do hope I am wrong. I hope Obama will be more to the center like Clinton than like Carter, but during Clinton’s time we had republican senate and congress. There is no such balance of power now.

@Steve: “Unless you make over $250K, which I highly doubt you do, you’ll have more cash on hand through Obama’s plan.”
This is not as simple as that. You may not be the one taxed, your employer may be. If your employer pays more in taxes, your employer’s earnings decrease. The employer may decide to cut costs. At best it means you will not get a salary increase. At worst it means you’ll lose your job.

It is a mistake to think of your salary as separate from your company’s profits. Sure, when the company is doing well, your salary may not increase by that much, and you may dislike the fact that your CEO makes so much. But make no mistake – if the company earnings fall, you’ll be affected a whole lot more than your CEO. You may end up losing a lot more than you’ll gain in personal tax breaks.

I make much less than 250K, although who knows where the line is for singles. But I work for a Fortune 500 IT company that has branches all over the world. A lot of my employer’s income comes from overseas. If this income is taxed, company’s earning suffer. In recent years, I noticed a curious thing: after about a couple of quarters of earnings not meeting Wall Street’s expectations, we are almost guaranteed to see layoffs. Bonuses and raises are affected too, but this is peanuts compared to losing one’s job.

Obama also wants to tax companies that outsource jobs. Since my employer is an international company that has branches in other countries and hires a lot of oversees workers, I’d imagine it’ll be affected. You may think I’d be happy with his promise of higher taxes for outsourcing, but this would bring company’s profits down and is likely to hurt my job security rather than help it. I saw a lot more people lose their jobs because of bad earnings than because of outsourcing.

Now, there may be good things too. Obama promises to invest in R&D. So maybe my employer will get enough of tax breaks for R&D to offset higher taxes on other things. What about other companies that aren’t involved in research? What about medium size businesses? You need to look at more than just your personal tax break.

Again, at the moment, I’d love someone to convince me that I am wrong. I would like some hope…

His best pal blew up my husband’s office in Arlington, VA, a place where thousands of men and women work every day to serve this nation, yet HE gets the privelege of being able to give these very men and women orders?!

He could never work for the FBI or the CIA because of his background, but yet he gets hired to be OVER the FBI and CIA?!

Mark my word. This Muslim man will soon take us down a path where racism will seem like a mere walk in the park.

And where will all the Liberals be? Yelling things like, “Where’s the military to protect me?” “Where’s my God?”

Is it that she’s beautiful? Is it that she’s successfully climbed the ladder? Is it that she has five kids AND looks so good AND manages things?

Or is it that she gave the so-called Feminists a run for their money?

Having the right to kill babies and butcher our bodies doesn’t make us feminists. I think they got it backwards. Bearing children makes us women. Killing babies makes us shameful.

Your time’s up. Roe v. Wade is on its way out. Wanna kill babies? Go to the back alleys and take your chances. Most likely, you’ll end up in the same condition as your baby.
