Many things make me proud to be an American. Obama's election (twice) is one of them.
Yep, he may be the winner but everyone else is the loser. History will not be kind to Obama. That may have an effect on future elections.

Since it will be mostly liberals writing the history books (outside of Texas), I beg to differ.

I'm not poor. I voted for him. So did most of my non poor friends. MY parents have an income over 100, 000 dollars a year. They voted for him too. My wife owns a small business and she too voted for him. My non liberal 80 year old grandmother voted for him too and would have again but she died 3 years ago.

Only the people who are losers were losers to begain with.

I'm doing as well with this President as I have with any other.

History wasen't good to MLK or Ghandi or millions of others, so what.

Adults are more mature, we find out what "certain" historians leave out.

Obama is only half way through is presidency. We have no idea what history will say of him.

As someone else has pointed out: I'm doing fine with Obama in office. I was also doing ok (financially) with Bush. Forget who's president for a while and just save some cash if you can. And despite the fact that we disagree I hope you can save some money. This is America....pretty much everyone gets an opportunity.

Obama isn't a capitalist. He is a socialist and he won fair and square twice. The U.S. is fast on the road to socialism and there is nothing anyone can do to stop him

If that isn't capitalism I don't know what is.
Also, huge tax cuts for businesses in the recovery act.
