to those who voted Obamavomit - we shall see how the next 4 years is for you.

I hope we all dont feel the pain as much, but unfortuanately, the ones who are takers will be hurt the most... if the money runs out... oh well. so sad, too bad, obama is on another $7 million vacation. coz to him, you are just another peasant.

I have a little joke for you -
Two Coffees in Heaven! Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven,
Barack Obama meets a man with a beard. 'Are you Mohammed?' he asks.
'No my son, I am St. Peter; Mohammed is higher up.'
Peter then points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than St. Peter,
Obama climbs the ladder in great strides,
climbs up through the clouds and comes into a room
where he meets another bearded man.

He asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?'
'Why no,' he answers, 'I am Moses;
Mohammed is higher still.'

Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy
he climbs the ladder yet again.

He discovers a larger room where he meets an
angelic looking man with a beard.
Full of hope, he asks again,
'Are you Mohammed?'

'No, I am Jesus, the Christ;
you will find Mohammed higher up.'

Mohammed higher than Jesus!
Man, oh man! Obama can hardly contain his
delight and climbs and climbs ever higher.

Once again, he reaches an even larger room
where he meets this truly magnificent looking man
with a silver white beard and once again repeats his question:

'Are you Mohammed?' he gasps as he is by now,
totally out of breath from all his climbing.
'No, my son, I am Almighty God, the Alpha and the Omega,
but you look exhausted.
Would you like a cup of coffee?'

Obama says, 'Yes please!'
As God looks behind him, he claps his hands
and yells out: "Yo, Mohammed, two coffees!"

Keep your trust in God;
your president is an idiot.

Smile Romney Never Even Wanted To Be President! LOL

That's good.

Because a wide majority of Americans didn't want him to be president, either.

A wide margin? I don't think so. When last I looked, President Obama had roughly 3% more of the popular vote than Mr. Romney. That's one of the slimmest margins of victory in American Presidential Election history.

Your thoughts don't alter the results.

Of course my thoughts don't alter the results. But they do reflect the historical reality. This presidential election was was of the closest in history. Here. Read this. How close was this election? Very close. - Slate Magazine

Furthermore, how close it was in comparison to historical results is not relevant to your assertion that a "Wide margin" of Americans didn't want Romney to be president. The fact is that only 3-4% more Americans wanted President Obama to continue than wanted Mr. Romney to replace him. Three percent is not considered a wide margin by most. Feel free to define it that way if it makes you feel better.

Your article from November 9th is no longer very accurate.

Obama won an overwhelming electoral victory and had a 5 million margin in the popular vote.

List of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Feel free to hate the man for whatever reason you choose from the long list of the right wing checklist. But he's won twice by impressive margins. The most in over 50 years.

This has nothing to do with hating anyone. It has to do with accuracy in our statements & facts.

You can be impressed by a margin of 3.85% if you want to. I see that as an indication of a fairly evenly divided nation, a small percentage of which chose President Obama over Mr. Romney. If you want an impressive margin, look to Reagan's 18% in 1984, or Nixon's 23% in '72.

Of course you can tell yourself whatever it is that makes you feel better about Romney's big loss. But the fact remains that Obama is the 1st to gain over 51% in both of his elections in over half a century.

An impressive mandate that even Reagan couldn't match.
