not based in reality... she is intellectual, logical, fact based and compromising. Traits none of that side posses in any of their rhetoric or propaganda.

man oh man... the bitter tears were flowing today at work. Shiiiiiiet

Had a fucking blast. I've never laughed and smiled so much at this job in my life.

Someone even trolled a couple of guys by trying to get them to sign a "I love Obama" petition. They were not amused... lol

I wore red in a shallow attempt to show solidarity to the republicans at my job and...it worked. A lot of people commented on how bad the election went, expecting me to be sympathetic.

It was glorious.

There are more people on welfare due to the recession, and I think Obama expanded unemployment benefits somewhat, but it's mostly BS to play into the "Obamacare is making us a socialist nation" meme.

It's also a convenient scapegoat they can use to avoid admitting that their platform is the problem.

Very convenient. Its always "Obama wants me to pay for welfare queens", but how has that changed since any other presidency at all? Would Mitt have abolished or downscaled welfare or something?

Its just this weird, exclusive anger neocons have towards democrats that doesn't make sense because the system's the same no matter who's in charge, I really don't get it as an argument.

Growing up pretty much in the lower class for a good part of my childhood, starting in the 80's. It does seem funny living under from Reagan, to Bush Sr., to Clinton, to Bush Junior, and finally Obama and seeing this "ZOMG! Welfare queens!" rhetoric is supposed to mean something in the grand scheme of the country's history is kinda funny.

You know, some of the posters' gloating about the victory and throwing it in people's faces is exactly why some people do not like Obama supporters and further stereotypical thinking, no matter how accurate. I thought everyone had a right to their opinion?

People also don't have a right to gloat? What the hell does gloating have to do with other's right to an opinion? And honestly I couldn't give a shit that people don't like Obama supporters.

You realize that's 51% of the country, right? Those people must be pretty grumpy all the time.

I also like how internet people is why people don't like Obama supporters. Reminds of that one guy who said that he was voting republican because the gaf liberals were too mean to him.

So sad. Too bad.

I really don't see how it's stopping you from having an opinion.

Wow I think I heard of her yesterday but after watching that I'm a new fan. She laid everything out in a neat bow. She seems very concerned too, and she's right. Republicans have to straighten up and work out their problems. I hope they do, they need to want America to work no matter what, not be bought with a price to do stuff at any cost. Their main goal being to get Obama out of office was. It wasn't good for anyone, it reminds me about the saying about the crabs in a bucket, pulling everything back in the bucket preventing any crab from getting out.

Since I think it needs to be mentioned in here.

Obama won 47% of the Cuban vote in Florida.

He won 33% in 2008.

I'm pretty convinced the shift is the entire reason he won the state and staved off his white support dropping.

THe only reason Obama won is because white people are becoming a minority and taking a backseat to blacks, latinos and women and they are all entitled free loaders. Bill O'Reilly literally said this on TV last night and he still has a job. Fox News, everybody.

Glad about the result and glad it's all over. Some people get so obnoxious during elections (republicans and democrats).

My wife's family...god damn. I love 'em, but they're some of the most hardcore republicans I've ever encountered. Couldn't be further to the right. Mostly just my father and mother-in-law. We were at their place for the evening for dinner and it was just an endless stream of angry quotes today from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. One of Rush's gems talked about how Obama can't be beat because he's Santa Claus and wants to give lazy people free goodies. "Christmas all year long!".

How much contempt does the man have for Americans that he can't even be bothered to acknowledge his supporters without his daughter instructing him to do so?

How much hatred do you have to interpret it this way?

World sees: He's happy and excited to more personally engage the people he has been facing for his entire speech.

... that's a fucking amazing leap of logic.

Obama is so pumped that he forgets the audience behind him.
This means that he hates everyone.

So, when I forgot to thank the Newbury Park Writer's Association for the award I got on Sunday, that means I hate all artists, right?

EDIT: The gloating is silly, because most of you guys would have thrown equally petulant tantrums had Obama lost.

Given the reactions of posters following the first and second Presidential debates, I am unconvinced that this is true.

Romney et al are getting a lot of flack for losing. Romney believes the Sandy aftermath did him in and I doubt Chris Christie gets a Christmas card from them.

I think overall it was a clean election, I'm not reading about any major voting scandals.

And can the other 49 states teach Florida how to count ballots? I mean they are still counting. No final for Florida 2 days after the election. "OK Florida, what we do is put these in one pile and those in another pile. Then we count each pile".
