    I can explain it he PISSED off the following groups ...

    women, blacks, hispanics, military people, the poor, the working class, the middle class, people in unions, the disabled, the elderly, gays, immigrants and people not religious kooks.

    He shot himself in the foot with Ryan and his party in some key races.

    He's the president...and he did NOT get a mandate. Far from it. So, it's up to him to be a man, reach out, be presidential, for once.....and try to actually HELP our country. I know that he won't though. He promised to do that before and never did, I don't expect anything from him but more of the same.

    Obama has been declared the winner. What do I do? Do I look for another country? Ot do I become a taker?
    I am sorry that we have lost the country.
    I did what I could to save it.

    You voted for Marxism. You got it. The question is what do the wealth makers do? Where do we go?
    I have looked at Belize in the past. I shall relook.
    This means the end of the nation called the United States of America. What do we call what we just voted in?

    This is almost like some sort of Karmic retribution for 8 years of Bush. The electoral college has brought us four more years of both.

    So where do the people who create wealth go?

    I am very sorry I was not able to save the nation for my children. And for you.

    I'm going to lose my job.
    Nobody else is willing to pay me enough that I can pay the bills and keep my family intact in this house.
    So me and my family will become homeless because Obama won.

    Ah yes. The same old right-wing bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    Blame the other guy because he refuses to give you 100% of what you want.

    What a bunch of (*)(*)(*)(*)ing babies the Republicans/t-partiers/right-wing are.

    It's time to grow up and act like adults instead of the petulant children that the right-wing has turned into.

    You must work for a pretty (*)(*)(*)(*)ty company if it can't stay afloat in a growing economy.

    Looks like Obama has won the election, according to Fox News.

    While I do think Obama was the better choice between him and Romney, I don't think there's really much of a reason to celebrate as his first term was mediocre at best. Maybe he'll do a better job in the second term now he's got the election out of the way (but that's a big maybe), but I'm setting my expectations low for the next four years.

    Let's just hope that 2016 brings some good candidate that will fix dire issues like education and the ever increasing power of the government.

    A good start for most of them would be prison.

    It won't be a matter of that. We were hoping for a president who cared about cutting spending, cutting the deficit and getting our fiscal house in order. THIS one doesn't. He's taken no steps towards that goal in 4 years and nothing will change there. Unless he comes to his senses, that is, and decides to work WITH Republicans to get this done. I'm not looking for that to happen though.......because being fiscally responsible is not in his DNA.

    Do you want to go the way of Greece? Is this what Democrats in this country want???

    Bush spent 8 years (*)(*)(*)(*)ing up your country and conservatives expected Obama to undo the damage in half that time? What would Romney do to save money? Cut funding to the most important things and raise taxes on the middle class - how would that help? He also alienated a lot of people with his ignorant comments. He's the male version of Sarah Palin.

    This is easy to answer. Just another 4 years of the Bush policies.

    The Repubs boast about how they built it all by themselves so get bust and build it.

    the middle class should not have to cover the tax cuts for the rich, they should pay the same percent tax we the working class do

    Obama might be willing to work with the Republicans, but do the Repubs want to work with Obama? It goes both ways, JP. Repubs didn't want to work with Obama, and still won't to, because their mission is to make Obama look at bad as possible. The Repubs don't care about fixing your country, all they care about (all any party cares about) is making the other side look incompetent. They act like children!

    Americans are not socialists and Americans believe in individual responsibility...That said, the numbers still do not add up. The economy is going to crash Jan 1 when sequester kicks in and BoBo care starts to cost money...

    I'm loosing my job because Bank of America is switching to Image scanning of proof and will no longer need couriers, not because of Obama.
    I won't be able to find another job because of Obama.
    I've been looking. Nobody will pay me what BOA does and I'm barely paying the rent now.
