Pretty sure liberals have been complaining about Obama being less liberal than they'd hoped...
this, pretty constantly throughout the last four years, tooPretty sure liberals have been complaining about Obama being less liberal than they'd hoped...
Because that's not how economics works... You don't just come in, and BAM! band-aid and everything's gone. There's multiple factors here like outsourcing, war "investment", the crooks at Wallstreet, ect. There are years and years of damage here. Logically no President would be able to fix an economy in four years, it may even be 12 to 15 years until America is back where it was. Obama knows this and that's why he doesn't look for short-term band-aids like many GOP solutions and wants to invest in America's future because the President can't fix an economy by themselves. America has to do it, and we hold a very small amount of responsibility to contributing to the country's rise or demise. You have to understand the limits of the president's power.The people have spoken and when I saw that more than half of the nation blamed the bad economy on Bush STILL based on the exit polls, I knew it was going to be a bad night for Romney. I really dont get how they can justify blaming Bush for the bad economy when Obama held the office for 4 years is beyond me. One would think its time for him to finally own the economy but I guess not.
Nope. Looks like in addition to gains in the Senate, the Dems will be picking up a couple extra house seats too. Looks like you got it all wrong.Well it appears I have a small amount of crow to eat.
I completely blew the Presidential race, obviously. But I don't think my assumptions were off base, for one simple thing I haven't figured out yet: The House GOP has kept its majority and in fact gained seats.
And why not? Candidates should be judged on their own merits and not by which party they run under. I refuse to call myself anything but an Independent for exactly this reason, despite the fact I largely vote Democrat because the Republican party is filled with so many religious extremists and self-serving millionaires. And the GOP party line just continues to drift further from center. :/It is not rational at all to vote for a Republican Congressman and a Democratic President...

Broun is the representative of Georgia's 10th district, which has voted Republican since 1995, so I don't think this guy is leaving for at least another term.Paul Broun is still in office, you know the guy who thinks all science is lies from the pit of hell, who is on the house science committee. Much change still has to be done.
That's beautiful. It's amazing how some people think a re-election of Obama spells the end of the world as we know it.http://whitepeoplemourningromney.tumblr.com/

Looking at the house of congress it looks like it's going to be a rather inactive 4 years. Hopefully they at least can balance the budget and do some things that Obama has said he'd do.I'm glad that Obama has been elected president, and his acceptance speech was inspiring. However, I am unhappy with his past four years, and I hope Obama is ready for the major work ahead of him. Things definitely have to change from his previous term.
His future career as a politician is pretty much dead, as far as I can recall, only 3 presidents did anything after they were president (or president twice), Quincy went back into the house (and died on the house floor), Garfield became president 4 years later after his one term, and FDR ran again... and again.What motivation does he have for changing things in this term?
This isn't going to happen.I'm glad that Obama has been elected president, and his acceptance speech was inspiring. However, I am unhappy with his past four years, and I hope Obama is ready for the major work ahead of him. Things definitely have to change from his previous term.
the exact same reason Democrats apparently can't win gracefullywhy can't Republicans lose gracefully? you lost, get over it
Jimmy Carter made some pretty notable humanitarian contributions after his presidency, even if some of it wasn't really political- his foundation has almost made the Guinea worm disease the second disease to ever be eradicated by man (after smallpox), he negotiated with Kim Il Sung and Muammar Qaddaffi, is a huge support to Habitat for Humanity. He even won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, 22 years after his presidency.as far as I can recall, only 3 presidents did anything after they were president (or president twice)
