Obama got 10 million fewer votes than he did in 2008 and got 100,000 fewer votes than McCain did in 2008. That is consistent with the notion that the nation didn't for for Obama, it voted for the devil it knew over the one it didn't.

 

Obama doesn't have anything to offer the nation. He won through a nasty campaign. This means the Republicans will be even less receptive although it also probably means Obama doesn't care about bipartisan cooperation. He and his impish acolytes have thrown real cooperation away.

 

His legacy will be failure, failure to protect Americans abroad, failure to end the deficit, failure to get Republican Congressional cooperation, failure to stop Al Qaeda, failure to produce jobs, etc. That is, Obama's second term will be a repeat of his first term.

 

Your gloating is simple stupidity under the circumstances which are that the election has changed nothing. You seem to be totally insensible that you are actually celebrating a big national failure.

On the runup to the election, while I did relish the thought of Obama being forced out of power by someone he is said to despise, I also worried about what Romney would have done had he actually won. He doesn't strike me as a friend of freedom for the ordinary guy. It was my objection to Romney as well as to McCain that it could well have been that conservatism would fare better with an Obama win than a win by someone who gets conservative support and then betrays conservatives.

 

Another possible worry about Romney is that his foreign policy people had been reported to have not all together been all on the same page.

 

So a Romney win could have been problematic because Romney as president wouldn't be a known quantity while for conservatives as well as for so many voters, Obama was a know quantity, that is the devil you know.

 

I know there were a lot of true blue, red blooded GOP conservatives who would not suffer doubts about Romney to be aired. I relished voicing my doubts. But how Romney won the primary battle convinced me he wasn't going to be very ready to run against Obama. And the primary voters were deprived of really productive debates because of all the rancor that was a byproduct of all those negative ads.

 

So maybe you should be sad Romney didn't win rather than gloating because Obama won. Now Obama is i a positionto do the Democrats a lot of harm.

 

Well, better Romney who had real credentials as opposed to the holy warriors who had nothing to offer but vitriole.  It wasn't just your candidate that was defeated, it was your party, your way of life and your beliefs that lie in smoldering ruins at your feet. 

 

And Speaker Boener won't help things with his push to extend the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% after Obama won on a platform to raise taxes on the rich.

 

Right wingers lose.

What makes you think Romney was my candidate? What credentials "real" did Romney have? What do you mean by "holy warriors"? Who is offering "vitriole"?

 

Nan, this is reality! Ok? You've been spending too much time in the left wing extremist echo chamber. Ever since the election, the liberal chattersphere has been full of really gross and stupid bragging. That is where the "vitriole" is.

As I see it, Romney is a better debater than Obama and he would probably end partisan gridlock if he were president. Other than that, as I have been telling Romney supporters, I am not all that sure what Romney could do.

 

They are your people who lack the ability to tolerate any deviation from your religious beliefs.

 

The real "vitriole" is on Salon or Politico.
