In some ways, I agreed with the things Obama said and stood for; in others I sided with Romney. Mitt Romney has a good track record and has demonstrated great leadership in years past, and has shown himself to have a very good heart no matter what his detractors might say. I wanted for the country a leader whose record has proven him a worthy one over a candidate whose performance has been less than stellar. Obama also lost a lot of respect from me this year, both for starting a smear campaign against a perfectly good man and essentially playing the bully on a national scale (Becoming the very embodiment of that which he protested against four years ago - "If you don't have a record to run on, you paint your opponent as someone to run away from"), and I honestly don't see any way that the Benghazi situation could have played out without something shady transpiring on part of our government (At the very, absolute least, locking up the guy who made the video despite doing nothing illegal is incredibly screwed up). And, honestly, I just really loved Mitt Romney as a person. I loved listening to him in his speeches and debates, would have loved hearing him regularly for the next 4-8 years, and am... really, really sad that he's been taken away and has no intention to return to the political sphere.
Hope you do a better job in your second term than your first, Obama. I don't think you're a good president, and I have my doubts that you're even a good person; but for the sake of me, my family, and everyone close to me, I hope you manage to guide the country in your second term in the ways you promise. |

This way the GOP can try, and the Dems can bring up Dubya's victory in 2000. So both side can no longer claim sour grapes, and hopefully do a constitutional amendment and abolish this sham of a system for once and for all. |

I'm a classical liberal thank you, and there is much (if not most) issues that the Koch Brothers' Tea Party and I do not agree on. Quote:
Our government isn't working the way it was intended to anymore because of the two-party system, and there in lies the problem. We really aren't getting anything meaningful back from the parties that control our government. Consider how much benefit the citizens get compared to the banks, or big-Pharma, or Big-Oil, or the military industrial complex. The disparity is indescent. Quote:
I view Obama and Romney as simply two sides of the same corporatist political coin. That's why I voted for Gary Johnson. That said, I'm sure you don't understand some of those issues as they apply to the United States. What's good or natural for Canada is NOT good or natural for the USA. You're not an American in the US sense of the term and just by looking at your post it's clear you don't realize why those things are issues in the US. No, in the USA, guns should NOT be controlled and if Obama is foolish enough to try it will spark widespread violence as it should in a free country. Besides the right to keep and bear arms has been finalized by SCOTUS. Only slaves are disarmed, and healthcare is NOT a right in the US since it is not defined in our constitution as such. These arbitrary declaration of "rights" by political interests for party-agendas is the kind of nonsense that needs to stop. It's also the reason why the Affordable Health Care Act was not declared a right to Healthcare, but a power of the congress to TAX. The stimulous has not worked, more and more businesses continue to close. We agree on Abortion and the separation of church and state. It doesn't matter whether Romney or Obama wins, the agenda will remain the same as it has since the early 1900s. We will go to war with Iran, we will see the dollar continue to lose value, we will see fuel prices skyrocket, we will see things continue to degrade in the US. Even if Romney had won, this would not change.

You can't hold Obama's first term being kind of poor too against Obama. The GOP have been incredibly obstructionist for four years to make Obama's performance as president turn out worse/look worse. Also, I don't know why you think Romney is a good guy. I've seen lots that say otherwise. Also, recently people have filed a complaint at an ethics committee for something unethical Romney did, which was profit 15.3 million dollars from the misfortune of others through things he did in relation to companies when the auto industry bailout was happening (something he said he opposed and used against President Obama). Also, he did something else that is ethically sketchy (at best); this made the news yesterday. He has been hiding his tax records because he has been avoiding taxes for the last 15 years due a legal loophole, and it was basically him cheating the system, and it is just ethically sketchy or unethical. Romney isn't good.

He didn't write a concession speech he has no other recourse. It's just...surreal. Donald Trump is going ballastic on twitter right now too calling for a march on Washington and claiming the world is laughing at America. The reality is that we're just laughing at him and Rove.
