Not sure what the equivalent is for the righties this year. I really don't understand why they hate Obama so much. Honestly.

Lost homes, hopes, dreams. Romney was a hope for a way out for many almost 48% many.
Look at the deficit and tell us there is nothing to worry about.
Obama is more of the same when we don't have time for more of the same.
They do not believe he will make any change let alone the right change.0 -

Well we've been over it a million times and you clearly aren't gonna see that the economy is in much better shape than it was on 1/20/09.
Some jobs simply aren't going to come back - unskilled factory jobs and the like. People need to have skills or education or they aren't going to find good jobs. Obama didn't authorize getting rid of those jobs himself, as opposed to W and the Iraq War.
I look forward to four more years of your Obama rants.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

Do you understand how fragile our country is?
Perhaps you would like to be one of the 8% unemployed who's checks are stopping
if we cliff dive.
8% is a lot and factor in the youth at 17%
one of every two graduating college no job for them.
Think of of the millions who lost their homes.
Who won't be able to replace it.
Think of the small business owner struggling to provide jobs
for employees who are like family to them.
Think of the children facing the 17 trillion and growing deficit.
Think of our elderly who once were proud of their country
only to see it going to hell.
I'd say people have a right to react alright! However they feel it!!0 -

PS - did you call the people who are talking about defecting to Canada because Obama is too socialist and those who think there is a Muslim in the White House (and care), and those who think it's time for a revolution, and those who are freaking out because religion will continue to stay OUT of politics to some extent, and, most insane of all, those who think Romney would have fixed things "crazy like a fox"??With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

You might want to look over the election results again and check to see which way each demographic you listed voted. "Afraid" young adults voted overwhelmingly for Obama (their fear was of Romney), the senior vote was closer than you think if not outright for Obama (I'm speculating here, but I'm confident of that estimation), and blue collar states (at least) went predominantly for Obama. I'd wager to say a good chunk of blue collar workers as an individual demographic did vote Obama too.
It's just nonsense that some conservatives now talk about leaving this country as a legitimate option because they lost an election. Good grief. Remember when people fled America to avoid getting drafted? At the very least, aversion to death can be rationalized one way or another (not saying I endorse draft-dodging, but I understand it). But leaving because Obama won? Not quite the same and that fact that people feel it is, is just pathetic. No let me restate that: its absolutely-fucking-pathetic.

So everyone here believes the President
makes all the decisions while they are in office?
That Bush during his eight years worked entirely by himself to fuck everything up?
That absolutely no one else was to blame nor any events out of his control
were to blame for the state of the economy etc?
Gee I always thought of the President as a figurehead kind of like a puppet
beholding to real power that is not in the form of one person.
