The President may need Romney's prayers. I expect the investigation into the abandonment of our Ambassador to be killed by the terrorists, (that Obama refers to as "folks"), can now begin.
First things first, however. Obama needs to take another world-wide tour, so he can apologize for our freedoms and success, all over again. It will be interesting to see how Obamacare shakes out in the next four years. The second term for a President is always tougher than their first term. Other party members give less support, since the current President can't run again - that leaves other Democrats to be more independent of the President's wishes. No one is going to support anymore 1 Trillion+ deficit years from Obama, so I don't know what he's going to do: 1) Blame Bush (worked before!) 2) Blame the Republicans (they won't let him do his crazy shit, anymore) 3) Blame the Rich 4) Blame the Whites 5) Blame the Dog (I can't pass a budget in the last few year, because the dog keeps eating it!). Obama has no plans for the economy. I wonder if the American economy can overcome that handicap or not, and return us to prosperity, anyway? Last edited by Adak; 11-07-2012 at 07:44 AM. |

1) He can't keep spending money we don't have. Even his own party won't support more radical spending. 2) He's alienated the Republicans - and their party's base, quite a bit. I really don't think he'll get stink for cooperation with ANYTHING, now. The campaign was long, and instead of focusing on his own policies for the future, (because he has few, and no good ones), he spent a lot of time with smear type attacks on Romney. His Justice Department has filed suit against every single state that tried to pass a reasonable voter ID law. He has cut back on allowing drilling for oil on Federal land which has area's for that, and last but not least, he took 700+million from Medicare (which part I'm not sure of), to fund Obamacare. If that doesn't work out well, the seniors will be in an uproar! What else could Obama do? But that won't set him up for easy reconciliation with either Republicans or conservatives in general. 4) He'll have to answer an investigation into the abandonment of Ambassador Stevens and crew, in Benghazi. He may even face an impeachment hearing over that, for his failure to act, when he so obviously could have. As well as he has been treated by the media (better than any Politician I can recall), if the word gets circulated that he was a coward and afraid to defend Stevens for some political reason, he may find the public hating the coward's guts. |

A logical reply would say why Romney lost. Only the logical can discuss honestly. But that means, for example, trying to explain why Romney, who once called himself more liberal than Kennedy, is suddenly an extreme right wing conservative. Its called eating crow. To discuss Romney's problem means discussing why you were so deceived by rhetoric. It requires a logical post; not more emotional tirades. You cannot face facts. So you post sour grapes. Post emotion. Since emotion and subjective claims are your reasoning. Harm to America was created by extremist rhetoric (ie tax cuts, mythical WMDs, trickle down economics, no grasp of basic military doctrine, massive loss of respect for America from 2000 to 2008, hatred of solutions that saved the America economy, etc). All that and more is slowly improving. As defined by lessons from history and explained by the logical and educated. It will take ten years to undo disasters created in 2000 through 2008. America is getting better despite wacko extremists who said, "We want America to fail." Extremists are now waiting for Limbaugh, et al to tell them what to think. Four years ago, even Bohemer's speech defined harm America so that Obama would only be a one term president. Limbaugh openly said he wanted *America* to fail. Having done so much to harm America, now what will extremists advocate? Well, the question can only be asked using logic. Same logic that says why Romney lost would predict what extremist will do next. Where is America going? Sour grapes are from fools who got us in this mess (unwinnable wars, recession, destruction to science, massive job loss, increasing income disparity, etc). How much more harm will extremists do to America in the name of political rhetoric and Limbaugh lies? What will be their next strategy to make America fail? Or will their strategy be something different this time? Either one can post sour grapes and emotion. Or one can be honest. Say why Romney lost and what extremists will advocate next. Clearly "We want America to fail" does not work. |
