I’m not trying to spin this positive, but I’ve talked with several people who think a lot differently than I do (they are in the financial industry) and they saw Romney as a long shot all along, although he would have been a good thing for the economy there would still have been gridlock in Congress. They saw Obama as more of the same as we’ve seen in the last 2 years since the Rs took the House in 2010, i.e. screwy foreign policy, a loss of status as a world power, but life goes on more-less as it is. Good chance of slipping back into recession (no GNP growth) but no chance of more stimulus fiascos.

So not great but not catastrophic. No one knows what the future holds and I see no value in despair and defeatism even though I, like Rush, live in Realville.

Sorry to share your optimism, but the most liberal Republican we could find just lost to a Marxist! The Republican party may as well switch sides and hasten our demise for compassion sake.

If this goes the way it looks like it's going, it's time to go off the grid and become as invisible as possible.

We didn’t get the House until 2010 and since 2010, the deficit has dropped 200 billion. As economy recovers, deficit will go down even more.

EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the last time, we have an HISTORICALLY SOLID majority in the House. We are going to be ok. The Power of the Purse belongs to US! Obama is nothing but a figurehead with the House margins we have...period. Endure his shit on tv but rest assured, the Republic is ALIVE AND WELL!!!!

Well said, Jack. This sucks, but won't be nearly as bad as Obama's first two years when Dems had both the house and senate. Just pray for the health of all the supreme court justices.

If you can seriously believe this, then I feel sorry for you.

When has a Dictator, (which is what was just elected) EVER gone away legally? I’ve heard more than one person (color doesn’t matter for they’ve been both black and white) that ONLY four years won’t be enough to REALLY fix the Country...Obama needs 8, 12, 16! Years to fix things.

What’s going to stop him? The Constitution? HA! That will only be a “paper” that he will get rid of as soon as possible.

That "American Express" commercial of the 1970's with Karl Malden from the TV show "Streets of San Francisco" is rattling around in my brain.

"You're on vacation. You brought lots of cash but didn't buy "American Express" travelers' checks. You lose the money.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
WHAT WILL YOU DO???

Up $8,000,000,000,000.00
Down $200,000,000.

We got back 2-1/2%. Color me unimpressed.

I’m a lifelong Texan and have supported secession as the only way to preserve liberty for some time now.
Most Texans I talk to agree with me in private but are afraid to voice it publicly.
I will keep trying and maybe one day people will have taken enough crap and be willing to not give a damn what they are called for taking a bold position.

I think the only hope is maybe go more libertarian. I’d prefer that to the democrats.

Right on, Jack. It's time to Tea Party like it's 1776! Put on your war paint, y'all. We're not whipped by a long shot!
