I've suspected after many things came out during this campaign that he's just a puppet. What a great image of him to depict that--with all the little flag strings and all.

When you invade/occupy a country that had NOTHING to do with the attack on your country.

Who pays for that "free" National Healthcare? We do with much higher taxes.
Ever see how most of those National Healthcare systems really work? I have, no thanks.

Want to see how one of those "great" systems work and are funded? Look to our Northern border and look at Canada's system. I don't want that mess over here. Ever live in a border town and work at a hospital? Yep you guessed it, full of Canadians getting their healthcare over here and paying for it out of pocket. Then half the staff is Canadian, both Doctors and nurses because there isn't jobs for them over "home" and even if there are, it is lower pay. Do you REALLY want double digit sales taxes at both local AND federal levels to fund the mess that is their healthcare system? I don't look forward to it at all. I have lived in those towns and seen it in action.

It will be 4 years of slapping social programs out and raising taxes. Ever actually READ his platform? Just where does he expect to get the BILLIONS of dollars to fund his promises he proposed? By lowering taxes like he says? even the most simple of minds can figure out that isn't how you raise billions of dollars for the Government coffers. The only way to do that is to tax the people, and the more money you want, the higher the taxes have to be.

Thanks you bleeding heart liberals! You just screwed those of us who feel if you want something you need to work for it, not stick your hand out to big brother and he will take it from those who work and give it to those too damn lazy to get off their butts.

We've spend the last 8 years heading down a road we will never get back from. But at least, you can now blame Obama for not getting us back from where we can never get back from.

Oh, no. I'm not going to blame Obama for Bushes idiotic Presidency and his "Presidential legacy" he is leaving for others to try and clean up. I may be Republican leaning, but I'm not a blind idiot who cannot see the mess 8 years of stupidity has left us in. We as a Country didn't have a chance this election really. On one hand we had the Republican "PC" offering of more of the same but maybe a little more moderate, and on the other hand the Democrats "PC" offering of inexperience and high ideals with no real plan on how to implement them. We were screwed on either ballot choice.

Tonight, real patriots took their country back from zealots who think Democracy can be had at the point of a gun. The same people who think it's funny to shoot a child for kicking over a McCain sign. These people are sick, they have a mind virus, and we must ensure they never, ever makes it into the top office of our great country again.

The zealots had 8 years to do SOMETHING, and they did nothing but divide us, leech money out of our treasury, and kill our young people in a shameful war.

Never got Bin Laden. Couldn't negotiate peace between Sunni and Shiite, it took a Finn to do that for us. What a dishonorable war, worse than Vietnam, where I lost my Marine father.

Turned Iraq "into a quagmire" (Dick Cheney's own words in 1993 when he warned against invading Iraq). Funny how he changed his mind when Halliburton stood to make some money, reprehensible PIG that he is.

We are taking our country back.

Join or get out of the way.

Now is a time for us to hit our knees in prayer and to draw close to our families and loved ones.
God help us!
If by this you mean to say that now we can all share in the wealth, all get medical help when needed, all are now looking to much briter future. And most of all, seeing peace on the horizon and our kids coming home safe and sound. Then YES ! Thank you for the complement, especially when comparing it to the last 8 years with the morons we were all stuck with.

That's exactly how I felt when people re-elected Bush but we "got shot in the head". And look at the mess we are in now.
