Having re-elected the Obamessiah, we Americans are going to at least in part be responsible for the now almost-inevitable major war now brewing in the area between Libya's Western border and India's Eastern border. Oh, the Muslim Terrorist States will be guilty of the war crimes, but we will be guilty of sitting idly by and watching it happen. And the fact that the Terrorists' intended victims will doubtless make the Muslim Powers pay manyfold for their crimes before all this is over does not help matters: yes, the political elites in the Muslim Powers will die, but so will a lot of innocent Muslim men, women and children.

What's going on in Algeria and Bangladesh?

All right, all right, sarcasm aside, I know what you meant, so let me explain. Pakistan is on India's western border. Israel doesn't even border Libya.

He's referring to the Ummah or “Islamosphere.”

It still makes no sense.

Oh, yah. Romney couldn't have undone it, and Obama isn't going to make it much worse. If there's one thing I sense strongly about him, he's a politician, and he knows not to rock the boat too hard - while still playing to his constituency, of course. There's going to be a lot of collectivist / racialist rhetoric [blacks at Wal Mart were crowing (no pun intended) at how they'd won the election] but now his attention will be on The Verdict of History, so he's (probably!) not going to do anything too stupid. Unless I'm totally wrong.

Your mouth to God's ears, friend. I'm just worried that he now believes he doesn't have to worry about reelection, and the gloves will come off. The verdict of history? Look at how history has treated FDR, whose policies extended the depression for years past its sell by date.

We'll see, I suppose. I was wondering if the Republicans in Congress should just let him have everything he wants, under the idea that once the policies he really wants take effect people might wake up and start to understand this man.

Sigh. Is it wrong to need a drink at eight thirty in the morning?

And you see, here's the thing... no one should vote based on the individual you like or dislike (or, more to the point, the individual popular media likes or dislikes). One should vote based on who will do the country the least harm.

With a press that despises him - and would have watchdogged him - as much as they do, do you honestly think that would have been Mitt?

We are basically well and truly screwed, now, and we've no one to blame but ourselves.

I have to disagree in that the choices offered were both horrible and no choice at all really. If you think any third party honestly could have won you are fooling yourself...

This is not something that we had actual control over but yeah I vote anyways just so I have the right to bitch about it...

I think you are blaming the victims who are trying to make the best of a horrible situation no matter who they voted for. We the people do not choose the candidates and in all truth it is the EC who picks the winner...not the popular vote anyways...

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins

"In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: 'If you don't work you die.'"

Seriously, I think this poem should be required reading before voting.
