Maybe I'm crazy; I'm not sure. I know many will laugh at this. I just feel that now the election is finally over, and the presidency is set for four more years, I think we might have some decent times ahead for America. The war in Afghanistan is winding down and we'll hopefully have an era of peace around the corner. The economy isn't great, but is showing signs of slowly getting better.
Maybe now that the divisiveness of the election is over, Democrats and Republicans will actually be able to work together again. Time will tell. I just feel oddly optimistic right now and wanted to see if any other feel the same.
I would like to feel like you do but the main reason I supported Romney is gone and I really think the nation will suffer because of it. That would be the chance that Obamacare could have been turned aside and replaced by something that wouldn't cause so much pain and suffering for so many. It is not Obama's fault that the war is, as you say winding down, but he will be given credit for it by his people. Of course, they won't credit him with the economy he inherited by winning the election either.

What has changed? Are you optimistic that Reid will finally put on federal budget or permanent tax policiy on 0bama's desk for his signature?
I'm not optimistic at all, I'm afraid obama will start getting everything he wants thru Executive Orders, his EPA, Energy Dept, Interior Dept, FDA etc..., and the republican congress will waste all their time fighting over temporary tax cuts, and let obama push his agenda.
My thinking is that now that Obama is here for four more years (like it or not) the Republicans will have to change strategy. If they try to be "the party of hell no" for another four years, it's only going to cost them more seats down the road.
Don't confuse the Presidential election with that of Congress.
The Republicans won 55 percent of the House. Their constituents voted for them to say "Hell no", just
the same as the DEM constituents do.
There will be a senate battle in 2014, and if the economy is going in the direction I think it is,
the DEMS will loose in the Senate too.
I just wish we could get more candidates in there from the Libertarian Party,
to **** off both parties.

Why? They weren't elected to go along with Obama and the democrats, they were elected to support conservative principals.
Are you going to call on the democrats to stop being "the party of hell no" to anything passed or proposed by the republicans?
More republicans were sent to Washington last week than democrats.
The election is done yes. What I saw on Monday was the same I saw on Wednesday.
Nothing's changed, it will be the same BAU we saw in this administration.
The senate has been made moot by Dirty Harry Reid and his antics. He needs to be removed from office. Too bad idiots and mobsters run Nevada.
He only won, because the GOP put that idiot Sharron Angle as a candidate against him.
Believe me, mobsters had nothing to do with it. The sinners would have picked a
Libertarian

Maybe Obama will stop being a pansy and get out of Afghanistan, say "hell no" to Netanyahu, and stop persecuting pot distributors.
No. Obama just came out with another failed budget idea. He refused to pass any budget in 3 years and now wants another failed idea. No serious spending cuts.
