This is wishful thinking (ie delusional)

The economy got worse because Bush sat on his hands during the last six months of his presidency.

Obama has been extremely proactive since Nov 3rd, no less, to get America back on track.

Bitterness from the far right does not make ANYTHING positive happen with regard to improving our economy.

Perhaps the Republican diehards should take a lot and realize that America does not respond to its scare tactics and overall negativity parades. That may have worked during the Reagan years (when we feared nuclear war from behind the Iron Curtain) but that crap doesn't work today.

But it was a relatively big win for a Democrat. The last time a Democratic presidential candidate won over 50% of the popular vote was in 1964.

Enough with the "Bush stole the election" garbage.
There were many thousands of votes in Florida FOR Bush rejected because they were not cast properly.

And what about this last election (2008). Were all of the votes perfectly cast? There were no voting problems?

I thought those things were "personal?" At least, that's what the Clinton supporters keep saying.

The grin you added is appropriate. There is no election which goes perfectly as far as casting votes goes.

Oh, I know. And thank you for understanding that I was just joking. You've got a good soul, Fleet.

As Gingrich was going after Clinton for an extramarital affair, he himself (Gingrich) was involved in an extramarital affair. Hypocritical? A bit perhaps?
