I'm clapping. Considering the devastation he inherited, it's cause for celebration.
Ok. You do that and the rest of us will consider the devastation he CAUSED
and despite all that supposed devastation.... despite Obama's supposed status as the worst president ever... despite a vigorous primary campaign that saw the GOP cream rise to the top and invigorate their angry base.... despite ALL that, you boy Mittens in his magic underwear got the snot kicked out of him. Imagine that!
In hindsight it wasn't at all surprising. We have tipped into a nation where there are more people taking from the system with fewer people paying into that system. Workers are so outnumbered by takers in California that workers are outvoted every time by those who vote to get that which they aren't entitled to without government action. The California model destroyed this state and will now do the same thing to the nation.
Romney had the wrong message. He was talking about jobs, that's not what Americans want. obama promised to give what Americans want. No job. obama sold the idea that the top 2% can afford to pay for the cradle to grave retirement of everyone else. Americans bought it.
