From: Analysis: 0bama wins but Washington unchanged:

They put back all the political players who have made the capital dysfunctional to the point of nearly sending the United States of America into default.

The president likely will be dealing again with a Republican-run House, whose leader, Speaker John Boehner, declared on election night that his party is the one with the mandate: no higher taxes.

Obama will still have his firewall in the Senate, with Democrats likely to hang onto their narrow majority. But they don't have enough to keep Republicans from bottling up any major legislation with delaying tactics.

So the burden falls on the president to find compromise, not just demand it from the other side.


So 0bama has four years to prove that he can compromise. Either that, or accomplish nothing.

Benghazi really hurts, doesn't it? Well, it should.

No more so that the fiasco of 10 years in Iraq.

I guess the deaths you mourn are easier to handle in small numbers.

Now...just where ARE those WMDs again? Can you pinpoint exactly where they are? Hmmmmmmm? I've plenty of time....

And typical of you and your Republican buddies: celebrate the Dow dip...be happy that people might lose their investments...chortle over the second storm about to hit the east coast...it's what those shiftless lefties deserve, after all.

Same article:

The voice of the voter came through from 42-year-old Bernadette Hatcher in Indianapolis, who voted after finishing an overnight shift at a warehouse.

"It's all about what he's doing," she said. "No one can correct everything in four years. Especially the economy."


What total bullshit. The recession ended in June 2009. But 0bama sold that laughable fabrication to millions of suckers. I dread the dumbed down crap 0bama will be spewing over the next four years, more for the fact that acerebral types like Wombat will be eating up every word excreted by 0bama with a spoon than anything else.

Re. 45175 -

Not paying attention, were you. UN inspectors and coalition forces found plenty of chemical WMD in Iraq itself, and many had been transported to Syria. But this is decade old information at this point.

I was very ambivalent about attacking Iraq and am on record in the Mote (or was it Fray back then) saying so. A matter of record if not altered or deleted. So don't bother with that little dance, JAH.

45178. concerned - 11/7/2012 8:04:12 PM

And I'll never stop telling the truth about when the recession ended (June, 2009) unless I am banned.

45179. concerned - 11/7/2012 8:06:10 PM

JAH -

The chortlers over bad news like Tinglebell Matthews are all on your side, and you voted for the cause of it all, too re the bad economy.

Your fault, your responsibility - not taking your bullshit on this one.

Considering the situation, maybe the House should give 0bama everything he wants for the first year or so - either this'll make the Democrat controlledSenate look like the bad actors, or things will so going downhill so fast that'll it'll scare the hell out of everybody and reveal 0bama's lies and ineptitude to even the casual idiot.

Considering the immediate situation, maybe the House should give 0bama everything he wants for the first year or so - either this'll make the Democrat controlledSenate look like the bad actors, or things will start going downhill so fast that'll it'll scare the hell out of everybody and reveal 0bama's lies and ineptitude to even the casual idiot.

Beyonce: 'Take that, Mitches' - 'rapier' LW 'wit' post- 0botomy.

45183. concerned - 11/7/2012 8:59:45 PM

Might be a good name for 0bama's second term: '0botomy'

With JFK, we had 'Camelot' & now we're going through an '0botomy'. I like it.

CBS title: "Muslim Brotherhood: 0bama needs to accept the will of the Arab People"

Well, that didn't take long, did it?

45185. concerned - 11/7/2012 9:12:49 PM

Somebody posted here that paying extra taxes would be a 'terrific deal' under 0bama. The sells don't come much easier than that.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at the Koch Brothers' breakfast room...AND at Shellie Adelson's!

Someone needs to send them T shirts that say "I spent a billion dollars on an election and all I got was this shitty T shirt!"

I've been indulging myself reading the Romney Transition Site that they forgot to take down. Mitt Romney the President Elect

45189. judithathome - 11/8/2012 6:58:04 PM

I guess Day One was pretty jammed with activity, huh?

45190. judithathome - 11/8/2012 7:03:40 PM

He had time to put up a "transition" site but waited until Ohio was lost to write a concession speech?

45191. concerned - 11/8/2012 7:49:13 PM

Re. 45190 -

LOL at you treating that like a mortal sin.

45192. concerned - 11/8/2012 7:51:24 PM

Boeing announcing 30% management cutback in its defense division in CA, etc. At least they had the satisfaction for voting for 0bama before being pink slipped.

45193. Wombat - 11/8/2012 7:54:56 PM

Just another instance of the unreality that your man inhabited. I would have thought an "experienced businessman" would be prepared for a less-than-optimal result, as well, and be ready to deal with it.
