But why would you vote back in a President that has taken you a gazillion dollars into debt and virtually sold your country to the communist country of  China.  Just wondering.

Historically, incumbents normally win re-elections when popular vote is almost even.  If Bush can be re-elected, so can Obama.  Status quo remains unchanged.

The Dow is up 60% since the last the Republican president, the country wasnt attacked since the last republican president, the Republicans didnt think it was important to kill Bin Laden, the housing market is much better ... the deficit only went up because we were in 2 wars when Obama took office and he inherited the worst economy since the great depression so he had to spend money to make sure the country didnt collapse.

Comprende?

It's embarrassing.  Didn't think he'd lose but still disappointed.

You'd think the people would have learned from the first time.  Women fucking shit up again.

OMFG!! We were attacked repeatedly both at home and abroad. The DOW is up purely due to the deflated value of the dollar. Home values have crashed. If you're homeless and jobless, do you give a fuck about the stock market? The economy is awful. The economy he inherited was not nearly as bad as what Reagan took over from Carter, Reagan turned it around, obama ran it into the ground.

Drug induced coma?

Home values crashed under the last republican president. The housing market stabilized and then improved under Obama. We weren't attacked repeatedly at home. The last republican president created the worst economy since the great depression.

Republicans screw the country up .. democrats put it back together .. republicans complain.

Just another day in this great country called America.

By the end of Obamas 2nd term the Dow will be up over 100%, the housing market will be as strong as ever, there will be a clear plan to pay off the deficit, unemployment will be cut in half and we wont be involved in any wars.

They better start making room on Mt Rushmore for President Barack Obama's melon.

Have a good day.

The plan to pay off the deficit is to raise taxes. That' obvious.

And it probably won't be the rich who pay the additional tax.

Middle class always gets the brunt end of the deal.  No matter how you look at it, we'd be screwed either way.  It's just the lesser of 2 evils lost yesterday.

Because they didn't like the alternative, simple as that.

You claimed to have a clue about real estate, but the way you just make shit up, proves that you don't. The stock market is taking a big dump on obama today, and your fictitious real estate is worth a fraction of what it was worth 4 years ago. You likely don't own stock, but even if you do, the market has performed poorly compared to gold, which accurately reflects the lost value of the dollar.

Just keep voting for the people that are smarter, harder working, and more successful to carry you. Apparently that's what this country is about now.

Good luck.

Detox you are delusional.

I don't blame Obama for the economy but he hasn't helped.

The housing market crash happened on Bush's watch but he was not the root cause of it, although he didn't do anything to help either.

The stock market is just another bubble waiting to burst.

Romney was not the answer but to make it sound like Obama farts sunshine and rainbows. He didn't accomplish anything the last four years and he isn't going to do shit the next four. We are gridlocked.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

The housing market crashed under the last republican president and it stabilized and has shown significant gains under Obama.

Everyone knows that... Stop embarrassing yourself.

nothing really is better for the majority of paycheck to paycheck folks.

those with solid portfolios, retiremnts/pensions (if they still exist) are the ones feeling the positive effect of the dow's four yr recovery.

other then than that, not much has gotten better. just havnt fallen off the cliff yet.

i can see detox's foreshadowing happening in four yrs, i hope it does...

Haha I love delusional people as they make this world so much more entertaining. When did the market take its historic plunge? Oh, that's right when they knew Obama was going to be elected, but hey let's give him credit for the rise of the stock market here. The housing market will be as strong as ever? I'm not even going to start on that one. The real kicker in this statement is a clear plan to pay off the debt? He's never had a plan on that one and never will. His only "plan" for the economy is to throw money at it and hopes it work.

I voted for Obama the first time as McCain/Palin would have probably fucked it up worse, but to sit here and pretend that he was a good president is insane. Romney wasn't much better of an option, but I'm afraid at what Obama can do now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election considering what has already been done. I'm greatly disappointed in how this country voted yesterday, but when you looked at the demographic divide in the votes that says it all.

That would be throw China's money at it and hope it works.

Better they get a real job that Obama has promised them and they pay tax to help pay the debt down.  Not sure if a debt that size will ever be paid down.
