Suggestions that someone shouldn't run your country just because he is extremely wealthy and a shrewd businessman is ridiculous...that is exactly what you need.
Fight it all you want, but realize your next minority president will probably speak Chinese and he already owns most of your country.
I actually benefit from the re-election; the US dollar will remain low because the rest of the world knows Obama is an idiot running you off the fiscal cliff, which allows people like me from all over the world to buy the USA.
The whole world was affected by crash in 2008, so why have Mexico, Brazil, and Canada done so well the last 4 years?
I'm trying to not be mean but this guy you elected twice now is a smooth talking idiot. Remember who has benefitted most from the last 4 years? Barack Obama and a few million non-Americans!
Sit back and complain and make excuses as the Chinese buy everything you have(including de-valued dollars) and Mexicans take all the jobs you wish you had.
Believe me, the entire planet was watching Tuesday and collectively slapped their foreheads and said "Doh", you blew it.
Nice post and you are right. Americans are the laughing stock of the world. People were even bragging that the world wanted Obama re-elected but they are too stupid to connect the dots as to why?... You explain it very well.

Yes, we are a sorry bunch, the people who bought Obama and his lies and the people who have to suffer the consequences of the stupidity of the masses and as they dance their way to their demise.

We are all going over the cliff now.

We are now officially the land of the dependent, jealous and greedy. Punishing success will be codified. No one will go into medicine or any field that takes a lot of time, money sweat and effort to achieve because work and success will no longer be rewarded. It is a self fulfilling prophesy as the tax base erodes, so does the collected revenue.

Be a soveriegn citizen. It's not easy, but it's possible. Take care of yourself and your loved ones and let the rest starve.

Sink or swim" is an action I learned as a child.

Are you kidding me? Excuse me, who anointed you the judge of all things Christian/religious and not? Does the caution, "Judge not lest ye be judged" ring a bell? ding ding.

There's so much more I'd like to say about your pontificating hypocrisy but like Auntie Em: "Well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it."

4) Are you really a Christian? Why should we believe you given what you have done?

alot of us are bewildered and ashamed..
the productive, working class voted and wants most of what you mentioned,,,,the free for all crowd....wants the free checks coming in,,,,its sad,,,very sad.
and when you have the 95% sleazebag mainstream media being cheerleaders for one party.....its a travesty-they rip the repubs to shreds, while protecting dems..

I know how helpless and hopeless you feel. We had socialist governments in my province for decades! We would come so close to voting them out, just to lose again. It works like this: the more people you have on welfare abusing social programs, the more votes you get for the socialist party. If more than half of the population works for the government(not joking, we really were that bad), more votes to keep the big government status quo.
Anyone who was an entrepreneur and had ambitions beyond working for the government simply moved to Alberta to work in the oil industry. So a lot of people that wanted a change in social policies took their votes and moved away!
Everyone can't be on welfare, everyone can't work for the government, and everyone can't (and shouldn't ) go to university Mr. Obama. I heard him say he wants to focus on higher education and although he may lose a lot of jobs to China, he will have "better quality" jobs in the US thanks to all the university grads.
He should come visit the Bakken oil patch and ask the tool push with a grade 8 education if he would rather serve coffee like the arts and science major who can't handle long hours and hard physical labor.
It takes all kinds, we can't all be CEO's.
Hang in there guys, this too shall pass.

P.S. No this is not Trace
