Obama Wins Popular Vote

I am not a fan of either party…I do believe that all Americans need to come together to be successful in for our future!

Neither candidate ran for anything as far as I can tell. So, no surprise, the cool black guy that shoots hoops and smokes cigs beat the uptight guy that dallies in offshore trusts and dressage horses.

But the real question still looms: will we raise revenue and cut spending, or will we push the country closer to the brink? My guess, our “leaders” avoid a “recession” by artificially keeping the economy inflated through another $1 trillion deficit.

What this election should have told Republicans, but obviously did not, is that Americans do not want to live in a country where its every man for himself. Americans want a country where we stand together and have each other’s back. Republican strategy “divide and conquer”, Democratic strategy “united we stand, divided we fall.”

Republicans thought the way to win this election was to divide America into camps and pass laws designed to suppress voter turn out among the camps that were unlikely to voter for them. They believed a path to victory was to engender animosity between the middle class and the poor, and to portray the middle class as being victims of the poor. Between union and non-union, implying unions were killing the economy. They droned on and on about takers and makers, and how we are all victims of the takers.

They insisted we were all beholden to the “job creators” and that we should only worry about them and they will take care of everyone else.

They pushed an agenda of killing public education and killing assistance for kids who are trying to afford a college education. Despite the fact that education is the key to every child’s future. Again saying each American is on his own to get these things, and if you can’t too bad for you.

They pushed an agenda of racial division and hate. Referring to Obama as a Muslim, or a Kenyan. Questioning his right to even be President. When what they were really saying is “Do you want a n…., in the White House?

Well that vision of America was soundly rejected. A majority of Americans want effective, efficient fair Government that is not all, but is part of the solution to the common problems most of us have. Like a good education our children that we can afford, without bankrupting ourselves. Like knowing that if we work hard all our life, we will not be left in poverty with no health care when they are too old and too sick to work. Like knowing that if we become ill through no fault of our own, we will not face bankruptcy, because insurance companies will not insure us and the country will abandon us or our parents. Like buiding infrastructure so that we can compete in a new world.

A majority of Americans believe we can afford those things if everyone will work hard and sacrifice a little.

The vast majority of Americans are not takers. They are workers. They want a better life for themselves and their children, and they know that life is not what we had in 1900, a nation ruled by Plutocrats doling out jobs to those who know their place.

Another thing that Republicans seem not to have learned is that despite their belief, the voting public is not stupid. They understood that for four years Republicans wanted America to fail, because they wanted Obama to fail. They got the message that the number one priority of Republicans was to make Obama a one term president, not to bring the country out of recession.

But for all the things Republicans did not learn they did learn a few hard lessons.

First that Women, Latinos, African Americans, and Asians, listen, learn, and vote. So their opinions count.

Second, people get pissed of when you try to prevent them from voting.

Third, its not that easy to buy and lie your way into the White House,. For all the billions upon billions of dollars spent. The billionaires failed to buy the election. All that money down the drain. And the rest of us want to thank you for spending all that money and the jobs those expenditures created.

Play Chicken, Congress, and MAKE Obama Blink….

Let the train hit you…lose your seat…Do something w/ your life…

Don’t Fund him….MAKE him LEAD…and when it Crashes, let them have it….

F^&$ IT….Let them pull the wagon…and take the blame…

Big T Sock Puppet, the Dow was at at 8,000 and the economy was purging 800k jobs a month the month W left office.

Man, can’t wait to get back to that magic.

I just hope that Mitt and Ann Romney will now go away.

It was dizzying trying to keep up with all of Mitt’s lies.

Romney could have won if he was more consistent and less yoyo. He was all over the place in what he believed.
