I have to get up at 4am,but I don't think sleep will come easy.I just can't believe what happened tonight,I am saddened and angry at the same time,but the American people have spoken and I think you will get more than you bargained for in the long run.Maybe you'll get what you deserve,but America does not deserve what is in store for her.My wife told me tonight one man cannot change things,but things sure changed these last 4 years.Maybe one man can't change things,but the people who control this man sure as hell can and will.Hang on my friends as the train we are a riding on is about to crash.I wont go into the things that are about to happen,you know what is coming,and the first thing to go will be low gas prices.Can our beloved muscle cars be far behind?Yes sir,I am going to change a few things myself.First thing is to get myself a gun,I think a revolution is on the horizon.Hey,this is just one mans humble opinion and I think the phrase "God bless America" now has more meaning than ever.Will the last one to leave turn out the lights?

That was a good one Gary, but I completly agree and this really sucks. I was never a fan of him 4 years ago and still not now, I can't believe people actually voted for him though. You would think that with common sense would vote for Romney the guy who wants to creat jobs for small buissnesses but no. I mean seriously what has he done for our country besides make me lay off 7 employees, make my house loose about $100,000 of its value, and add thousands of families on enemployment and food stamps. Believe me Gary I am hurting just as much as you are.

I too also agree with Gary and Jay. I am scared to think of what is to come. I know that maybe I shouldn't voice my opinion, as grumpy would tell me it might make some people mad. But you know what, for now, this is America and I will take advantage of my freedom of speech. I just hope that my freedoms will remain. That freedom, of which many men and woman have fought and lost their lives for, is something I feel may be slipping away. Just my opinion.

It's ok, Ms. Grumpy. You're in good company here.

I'm dumbfounded the American people have been snowed like they have. I will continue to build up my stock of ammunition while I can. I've already heard stories from reliable sources that veterans are are being targeted (for the last several years) for "Making terroristic threats against the president." So I'M not even allowed to say what I think of him for fear of being hauled off. THIS, ....THIS is what the American people want?! A truly sad day indeed.

I realize that neither candidate was worth a darn, but in that event always, ...ALWAYS vote for the new guy. He doesn't have any traction yet and it'll take the better part of four years to get things rolling. Then you can vote him out if you want. Now this *ahem* person has momentum built up and can do a lot more than he already has.

I agree 1000%
I was so upset last night I couldn't sleep either.

This country is screwed. I can't believe how stupid some people are to re-elect that ass clown.

I retire at the end of next month. I've been online this morning searching for property in Costa Rica...seriously.

Just about any decent Republican could have beat Obama, but the Republican Party nominated a guy who banned guns and socialized healthcare in his state as Governor, who then picked a running-mate that voted for TARP, the auto bailouts, extending unemployment, expanding medicare, both stimulus packages, and the bank bailouts...

Then they wondered why they couldn't get enough support to win an election?

Voter turnout was way down in most states.

I am not political, never even voted before. So for me looking from outside the box with no bias either way i believe the problem is us the people that is. I think the population of the world itself is just too much. You can only have so many jobs so that leaves the rest of the people to unemployment. What also comes from more population is more (policing) hence why the law enforcement, govt, and military is so hugely populated. You can only support so many people before you have to let some go unhelped it is just comon sense. The biggest problem with people is overspending and debt which increases with the more population increases. People are just too greedy these days and it will get worse unless we put ourselves in check. I remember a few years ago when there was a new video console coming out i dont remember the name it was along the lines of the xbox or playstation but people would take off work, spend days in a line and buy it. All just to say hey look at me i am one of the first to have this. I also remember it was near christmas time and people would stand in those lines for days to get one then list it on ebay for at least a 600% markup and some Dumba** would buy it just to give it to their kid for christmas. If he or she would have waited till after the first of the year they could get it all day long for the same price the people who stood in line for days got it for. I think we do need more govt control of certian things like medical and things we NEED to survive oil, gas food and so on. My wife had to have some steriod injections (shots) in her back (3). Of course her medical insurrance covered everything but her deductable but when she got a breakdown from her insurrance on the claim the cost of the shot was over $30k each. She called the insurrance company to let them know something is wrong all she had was a shot in her back and there is no way it should have cost that much. Again she only has to pay her part but she knew something had to be wrong. The insurrance got back with her a couple of days later after doing a investigation and they were told by the doctors office that the liquid in the injection itself was special and cost $30,000. Really, there aint no way in hell. I had a chiroporactor bill me for things they said the ins would not cover and i found out later he also billed the ins for the same thing, needless to say he is no longer in business. We as people need to be told what we can and cant afford, what we need or dont need (to a point). And until that happens we are just going to keep living outside of our means (which alot of people say is the american way) Well that needs to change along with we need to take care of each other and quit worrying about what we have and want. I make over 200k a year and live comfortable and have a few employees as well and i will give up something for myself before letting one of them go as they are the reason i have what i have. My house is just above the median price of homes here, the newest vehicle i own is a 97 ford ranger with no a/c or power steering but it gets me where i need to go and at 26mpg. Unlike most of my friends i dont need a 40k dollar truck or a new car every 2 years or the latest and greatest gadget. It is their money and they can do what they want with it by all means but i get sick and tired of hearing them bitch about rising taxes which makes them increase their prices and do cutbacks so they can still live outside their means. Just my little rant. Thanks
Greg

Those may have been factors but I don't think that's what cost him the election. He didn't get the Latino/Hispanic vote which is primarily a conservative group. It's tough and going to get tougher to win the presidency without their support. He also lost Ohio and maybe Michigan because of his stance on the auto bailout. He could have played that issue a lot better, he said let them go bankrupt. What he didn't say in his defense was they did go through bankruptcy. An unusual, government led bankruptcy but still bankruptcy.

Our society is changing, I don't like it but it's happening. Bigger gov, more entitlement programs that's where our society is headed. I don't think the average citizen sees the danger in this. They want someone to take care of them. That's a lot easier than taking care of yourself. Let the rich people pay for it, 39.6% tax rate on income over $200,000, $250,000 for couples. Let's tax them some more, they should pay their fair share. Where's the incentive to work hard and succeed?

When it all collapses due to national dept they'll see the problem. Look at Europe, they're already there, won't be long before we're there too.
