And as far as Obama, he said in his acceptance speech he would reach out. He said that of course when he got elected the first time. We are still waiting. We shall see this time around, but we all remain doubtful.

-----A 10-1 ratio of spending cuts to raised revenue is not reaching out? Even Jeb Bush said Republicans were crazy for not accepting it.

BTW... roughly a little less than 120 million Americans voted out of a population of well over 300 million (some say 330 million). So basically less than half the country, more specifically around 25% of the country, made a decision for the other 75%. Not enough people care evidently. And yet another example of no mandate. If anything it is a mandate for Obama to finally get to work and quit playing golf.
-----A rejection of 4 years of record obstruction all in hopes of winning an election. A President winning despite 7.9% unemployment. It may be more of a mandate against everything Republican rather than a mandate for the President, but it's resounding none the less.

You want to talk about denial? Or is it convenient memory loss? Did not Obama own the congress, senate, and presidency his first two years?

Reps couldn't obstruct sh1t.

Sit back and watch. It'll be here before you know it.

Sweet... all those Democrats can dispense with their wealth. Obama will gladly redistribute it to replace those aging Obamaphones or what not.

I just thought that this thread should renamed to "Some People Have Spoken" ....lol
