TomFest 576 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 Happy that it's over. I feel like the little girl that was crying over too many "Bronco Bama" commercials. But I do feel like the President deserved a second term. Just for killing Bin Laden. Congratulations. Now please get this country moving again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SingsInFrench 262 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 I am very happy (I cried during the President's acceptance speech), but my good feelings are tempered with grave concern over this fiscal cliff we're facing. I hope congress can work with the President to solve these problems coming up quickly before the end of the year. Everyone must be willing to compromise, but I worry that the tea party Republicans won't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 156 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 I'm both happy and sad. I'm delighted that President Obama won, but I fear that nothing is going to change with a Republican majority in the House. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelly 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 feeling banged up today - back at work after crashing in a hotel last night. Got about 4 hours of sleep, on a feather-ific bad that really did a job on my sinuses. And hitting the minibar so hard was probably not such a good idea. About the election - feeling good. Still not sure what's going on with Florida, though. Why is it a problem to count votes every single election? Also, hoping the deadlock in Congress gets shaken up a little. Not so sure about that one... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fear you may be right. It seems some of the more moderate Republicans left office and were replaced by let's say - less moderate Republicans. That doesn't bode well for compromise among the 2 parties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magnolia 171 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 Happy with the national election, not so much with some state and local propositions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieB 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 I'm happy that it's over, happy that Romney did not win, happy that two states voted to allow gay marriage and happy that two states voted to legalize marijuana. Sad that we probably still have gridlock in Washington. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amber 70 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 Neither. Not sure the election is going to change anything in Washington or the economy. Got a feeling it will be 4 more years of treading water. Until some major changes occur in congress, we aren't going anywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 ^ The last 4 years of treading water was caused by the Republican Tea Party not willing to talk and get things done. Don't blame the Dems for not trying to get anything done. The problem lies in the hands of the Republicans that refused to compromise. With that in mind, why do you think Romney lost?

Rick 156 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 My wife's best friend's husband is a good guy but is a staunch Republican and truly believes that the Democrats blocked the GOP from getting anything done the past four years. That's why I worry about the great divide....half the nation is so far apart in its thinking from the other half. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I worry about the great divide....half the nation is so far apart in its thinking from the other half. I couldn't agree more. I think it's quite worrisome how divided the country has become. It's become "personal". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amber 70 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 True. I think that is why Romney lost and why we will not have another republican in office until they can become a little more neutral in scope and focus more on how they can improve things for the majority of Americans. I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican....not party affiliated. I do not think only one or the other has the exclusivity for leadership and good ideas. Maybe we need to find someone who can take the good ideas of both parties and pull the nation back together....maybe I would campaign for someone like that.

nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 ^ I'm not doing anything....LOL!!!! Seriously, I wouldn't take that job for 4 Million a year, let alone $400K. It's easier to get a show on Food TV and make $6 Million a year like Rachel Ray and make millions more from selling pots and pans!! The Republicans created their new image over the past 10 years or so as being wealthy and for the rich people, while the Democrats catered to the poor. That is the real reason Romney lost, not what the monday morning quarterbacks are making up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
