Obama is getting a second term - the sooner people accept that, the better. I think he will have a much better second term as it does take longer than 4 years to make any real change, especially when it's taken 30 years to get us into this mess. I also think he will be more of a liberal in comparison to his first term, because he won't have to worry about being re-elected by making controversial decisions. As I liberal, I couldn't be happier.

I would like to take this chance to remind everyone that earlier this year Mitt Romney was pretty unanimously considered the strongest candidate in the Republican field — by a large margin. He was, without much question, the most electable of the primary bunch and the toughest opponent for Barack Obama. He was disciplined, well-funded, and had a moderate background that appealed to independents. He was, in short, the very best the Republicans had to offer in the year 2012.

This was not a fantasy, either. It was an accurate assessment. Romney was the best they had. The very best.

Let that sink in for a bit.

Republicans are already struggling to cope with reality. They are telling themselves the polls are all biased in Obama's favor and if you remove the bias, Romney is headed for a blow out win.

I don't give a fuck if he meets anyone in the UN. We should get out of other countries anyway and let them kill each other. We shouldn't be babysitting other countries. I would go on The View too when it's a slam dunk that I am getting a second term.

You do know that we still have to work with the rest of the world, right?

We're not the only country on the planet.

I agree with us getting out and not being a baby sitter, which is why I only quoted the line that doesn't make a whole lotta sense. Sorry, man, but you sound like a Bush supporter. They didn't want us to work with the UN either.

What?? Obama gave a speech at the UN defending free speech! He also talks to world leaders by phone when needed. We don't know all that's going on! He has a campaign to run!

Then you should have been replying to Mullet Warrior not me.

I responded to you both.

Fuck Vomit Romney!

I think they see the Romney campaign floundering and think "Oh, Obama's got this one in the bag".

I seriously wouldn't be shocked to wake up Nov. 7th and find out that dumbfuck has taken this one.

Let's hope not. I'm in one of those "swing states" and I plan on voting for Obama. I hope the Obama supporters don't get complacent and stay home because they think he has it in the bag and don't need their vote.
