Well, American voters have made their 2012 presidential choice, and now they get to live with it.
On Nov. 6, the same day that saw the election of Abraham Lincoln and reelection of Ronald Reagan, they opted to reelect Barack Obama, the first time since the Founding Fathers that the country has awarded two terms to three consecutive presidents.
Two-thirds of Americans have consistently said the country is on the wrong track. So, naturally they opted to stick with a stinking status quo they've whined about for years now.
Unable to face the fact they made a colossal mistake in 2008, sufficient Americans voted to keep a president who broke more promises than he kept, who set historic new debt limits, created four consecutive trillion-dollar budget deficits, failed to achieve his own employment goals and accepted responsibility for nothing, except what SEAL Team 6 did for us.
"The best is yet to come," the chronic deficit spender vowed ominously.
Congress has enjoyed record low job approval ratings in recent years, So, unhappy American voters naturally chose to leave both chambers in the same inept hands: Democrats keep control of a Senate that's proudly broken its own laws three straight years by failing to pass a federal budget and cripples itself with archaic rules that make nursing home TV rooms look like Zumba workouts.
And Americans voted to leave in Republican hands the House of Representatives that has such...

In his victory monologue, Obama praised Joe Biden as "the best vice president anybody could ever hope for."
Seriously. That's a quote, not a joke.
Ominously, earlier in the day at the polls, someone asked Biden if this was the last time he'd be voting for himself. And the 70-year-old said he didn't think so.
Thanks again, American voters. Smartly done.

America needs a friggin CAT scan....stat!!!
The voting public voted to kick the can down the road...all they want is their MTV.
America was bought off. Obastard promised to be Santa Claus every single day of the year. The majority of them still believe the bad economy is Bush’s fault and if Obastard has 4 more years, he will fix it.
That scares the ever loving p!$$ outta me. That and Valerie Jarrett.
Failure has not only become acceptable, now it is rewarded.
Mencken said it a lot more concisely: “People deserve the government they get, and they deserve to get it good and hard.”
“Two-thirds of Americans have consistently said the country is on the wrong track.”....WTF???
So they go and re-elect the problem???....
I for one will gladly donate to cc's opponent next year, if it will get his rino butt off the national stage for good..
Yeah, I had a very un-PC thought last night: "If this were a white man with this exact record, he would never be re-elected."
As GW called it, "the soft bigotry of low expectations".
““Two-thirds of Americans have consistently said the country is on the wrong track.”....WTF???
So they go and re-elect the problem???....”
Remember, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.
This shows us that America is 1/2 crazy. Insanity, they name is Liberals.
3 ILLINOIS PRESIDENTS:
Lincoln united a divided country. Reagan warned that liberty could be lost in a generation. Obama divided a united country.
It was after midnight when it became clear that Obama had won and Romney conceded, which made for a very fitting anniversary. Obama’s re-election became official on the 95th anniversary of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia.
What a nightmare this is!
We had a good Tea Party candidate, Steve Lonegan, run against Christie in the primary.
RINO Christie won of course, but Lonegan stayed politically active and runs the Americans for Prosperity chapter here in Joisey.
I don't know if Lonegan will run again against Christie. The usual rap against true conservatives --"they can't win in NJ"-- was used against him.
