| 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.

I'd like to see the republicans shut down the government...for years. Will they lose seats? Sure. But not for 2 years. In other words...war.

In other words...no more checks from the (democrat) government, which purchase votes.

As a woman, I am sorry to say that 12 percent single women and 8 percent married women voted for Obama. Stupid, stupid!

"Staus quo" is the way people vote when they're scared stiff.
Be a maker, not a taker today.

Unfortunately, I suspect that in the near future, all of the grousing in polite forums will have to become something more forceful before they start herding us all into metaphorical or literal cattle-cars. Yes, that's what it's going to come to. There will be no debating or reasoned discourse with animals.

Let those clever Americans pay for my upkeep once I quit working and paying taxes. Let's see those 20-21 year olds who voted for Zippy find employment with their basket weaving degrees.

Christie may still try something in 2016. Oh, look! With Romney's defeat, the road is conveniently clear for him -- and others from the GOP's incredibly deep bench. But Christie will have as much success with that effort as he has with Jenny Craig.
Our Andrew really lets him have it.

It is mystifying, but I guess we have to realize that millions of people did not vote for Obama based on his past performance, his record, or the fate of the country.
I predict any euphoria over his victory will be short-lived.

The take on the speeches last night was right on. Unfortunately, no one on the left notices or cares. They are also thinking I/me/mine. This article expresses everything I have been thinking for the past 10 hours. Especially the part about Christie. It is going to be an interesting 4 years. The country gets what it deserves. Unfortunately, many of us will be collateral damage. I'm not proud of my thoughts this morning. Part of me hopes that the Jeep plant in Ohio shuts down as the one in China becomes lucrative. My motto: Put the pain where the problem is.

They say 14 million less voted than last time. 14,000,000.
May I be the first to say, "Horse****?"

Romney did better than McCain but clearly many of us were right in saying he wasn't the right candidate. He wasn't wlling to get down and dirty like the Rats. Enough of the old rich white guys leading the parade. It's time for some young, smart, charismatic guys and gals on our side to step up. Senator Rubio, I'm talking to you. I'm depressed today, but I'll bounce back ready to fight another day. In fact, I just heard Sabato say the GOP will do very well in 2014. Always look on the bright side of life ...

More layoffs coming next quarter- just heard on CNBC. Fiscal cliff. Which is exactly what this administration wants, IMHO. Cloward Piven in full force.
And American exceptionalism down the drain.

I am disappointed too. But I am also encouraged. I have a terrific family. Beautiful wife and 2 beautiful children that are healthy and are being educated in one of the best private Christian schools in our city. I am self-employed and make a lot of money. We will be able to keep the lifestyle that we have enjoyed. We will still be faithful to God and will still tithe to His church. So life for us will continue to be great and we trust that God will reward our faithfulness. I hope that the people that put their trust in obama get what they deserve. When I see a college student that is still living at home because he is working for minimum wage I will ask him who he voted for. And when he tells me obama I will ridicule him. When Gov't workers complain about their meager 1% raise - same. Suck on it!

#15, I will be surprised if there is a GOP in 2014. The dems just proved to themselves and everyone else that they can steal an election and no one dare says boo. It is over.
Heard that they are already thinking of overturning the 2-term limit so we can keep bozo forever. And they will get it done, no doubt.

Once again, the numbers don't add up. Two-thirds of Americans believe the country is on the WRONG track yet they voted to re-elect Zero? Uh-huh. Something stinks and it's not just the garbage piled on the streets of NYC.

14 million fewer voted than in 2008 and 4 million or so fewer than in 2004.
Want to make a Democrat mad today? Remind him or her that the great Obama got 2 million fewer votes in his reelection bid than George Bush.

Graduation ceremonies are good times for families and their offspring, which makes them good times for politicians to be around and associate themselves with happiness. President Obama gives four commencement speeches per year--at one public and one private university, one historically black school and one service academy. Just before his epidemic of scandals broke, Obama critiqued the many faults of America and told Ohio State graduates to dismiss cynical talk about over-reaching government and fear of tyranny. Technically, first ladies are not politicians. Most are dutiful if often reluctant campaigners. But Michelle Obama is a glaring exception.

He told the cop, “I’m a bishop, I’m supposed to move diagonally.” Leno: According to the U.S. Geological Survey there are 7.4 billion barrels of oil in North Dakota.

Finally, scientific confirmation of what so many have suspected all along: The strongest of men in varied societies around the world are much more likely to hold conservative political views. Probably much smarter too. While weaker guys, regardless of wealth, are more liberal, into handouts and wealth redistribution because, well, they don´t have the strength to get it and keep it themselves. The reassuring results come from a new study by researchers at Denmark´s Aarhus University.

Hi, I’m Congressman Andy Harris, and this is the Red Tape Tower. 20,000 pages high and seven feet tall, it encompasses all of the regulations already associated with President Obama’s health care law. The red tape, the taxes, the mandates, the tricks, the traps, the fine print … it’s all here. Now: just think about the fact that it’s the IRS that will be responsible for enforcing many of these regulations. If we’ve learned anything this week, it’s that the IRS needs less power.

Hi, everybody. Over the past few months, I’ve laid out a series of commonsense ideas to reignite the true engine of our economic growth: a rising, thriving middle class. The way I see it, there are three areas where we need to focus. One: making America a magnet for good jobs. Two: making sure our workers have the education and skills they need to do those jobs. And three: making sure your hard work leads to a decent living. I’ve also been visiting cities across the country that are doing some interesting and creative things along these lines.

Another awkward day in the unraveling presidency of Barack Obama. Beset by a trio of profound scandals, the Democrat planned Thursday´s message on foreign affairs through a joint news conference with Turkey´s Prime Minister Erdogan, a NATO ally. Unfortunately, Obama´s advance staff was apparently too busy preparing his next campaign stops to check the Washington weather forecast. It set up the news conference outdoors in the Rose Garden. Wouldn´t you know given POTUS´ recent luck, it began raining heavily. Obama [Snip] ordered two U.S. Marines to come hold umbrellas over the leaders´ heads while standing at attention.

Washington, the former swamp steeped now in ambition, acrimony and duplicity, is quite experienced in handling scandals. They erupt regularly like bipartisan blisters. If handled correctly -- take responsibility, be sincere, proactive, contrite and get all the bad stuff out there quickly in one tidy, eminently forgettable package -- scandals can heal and leave barely a scar. Take Barack Obama. Please. His recent behavior and that of his administration in this ongoing bad news blizzard will be case studies for future generations of communications strategists on how not to address crises.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
