The results of this election do not in any way change how i feel about this admin or its policies.

The nation woke up today and found that more than 50% of those voting are all for turning our nation into a massive welfare state.
Talk bad about Fox all you want but the simple truth is that anyone who wants to know whats going on HAS to go to Fox news because the other channels wont report anything negative about their guy.
If it werent for Fox news America wouldnt have even known about Fast and Furious or the Benghazi fiasco.
Nixon resigned for far less than this President has been responsible for.
Yet no one seems to care as long as they get their welfare check.
I would say God help us all but the Obama admin has ensured that if God does exists he has washed his hands of us.

Fox news is not considered legitmate news.

The Benghazi issue? See that is their problem...we just had a hurricane cause massive damage in one of the most populated areas of the country and Fox news was talking about Benghazi. They do not care about American citizens...they are more worried about some stupid incident that killed 4 people. Get over it...let it go...

Also, maybe you should watch CNN for once, if you can turn away from Fox. They are often critical of the president and the Dems. There is a reason they are considered a legit news source...

Did you know that 4.4 million, or less than 2% of Americans actually get a welfare check? Man Fox news really knows how to focus on the irrelevant...

They had Gingrich on CNN this morning. He predicted Romney to get over 300 electoral votes and 53% of the popular vote. Like Bill Maher always says, the Repubs have their own little bubble and their facts are different than outside the bubble.

Edit: True story...Sunday night at work the paper boy (he is in his mid 40s,) who consider himself a Libertarian (he actually said that with his nose up in the air,) said that Romney would win big and the reason I do not think so is because I do not understand a statistical analysis.

I owe you an apology. I defended Americans when you said they were the most ignorant. Yesterday proved me wrong and you correct, so please accept my apology.

I am so sick of this argument from those who don't like obama. Show me where it says that 50.3% of the voting population is on welfare because over half of the US voted for Obama. My bet is you won't find it because most people have jobs and work hard to support themselves and thier families without the help of the government and a majority of them voted for obama. So your comment is basically a slap in the face to those hard working americans.

The number of people that recieve welfare is 4.4 million, or less than 2 percent of the population. Their definition of "welfare" is "anyone that gets a check from the government." which is disabled, working poor, elderly, college students, military members, ect. It blows my mind how clueless the people that make this clai are. I mean how can we get to work with all of the freeloaders just laying around in the streets not working? Take a look around you...by their definition HALF the people at your job are not actually working, but rather mooching. I am willing to bet that many of the people that make this claim are actually included in the statistic...

[praetorian-legio XIII]

With his record over the last 4 years, I wonder why people voted Obama back in.
Do they believe:
the defiect will go down?
the unemployment rate will drop?
our country will be safer?
our civil liberties will be protected?
working class families will be better off?
I guess my question is "what has he done to date, to warrant a second term?"

Yeah....well, here is another way to look at it:
Welfare Statistics
Total number of Americans on welfare 4,300,000
Total number of Americans on food stamps    46,700,000
Total number of Americans on unemployment insurance   5,600,000
Total number of Americans on Government Assistance   56,600,000

Total number of Americans who voted for Obama 59,971,178

So yeah...HALF...

Because several people on this site not only made bold (and completely wrong) predictions, but were seemingly celebrating before the fact.

To be honest, I've no real problem with Romney.  I think he may have made a fine President.  He seems to be a stand up guy, and I feel a bit sorry for him.

The people that were his clueless pundits (especially on this board) were the ones I've no pity on.

Wait, I thought those 4 people were American citizens. So what number has to be killed before the government should be concerned about their deaths? Obviously 4 isn't enough for you so how about 6, 8, 20, 100? Just how many deaths would be enough to be important to you? I bet the number would be 1 if the person killed was important to you.

BTW it wasn't a hurricane it was a "super storm".

Well, - if disregarding everyone who was almost religiously convinced that the American people would punish Obama severely now in November and that Republicans would clean House, Senate and Office and winning a roaring victory and Obama would be tarred and feathered.-  we also have that incurable stupid and irrelevant individual called Donald Trump, who suddenly reached a minuscule little glimpse of insight and understood that Twittering like a drunk about calling for revolution against Obama  and walk on Washington.maybe wasn't that smart.
That's foot-in-mouth for ya.

As NBC's Brian Williams said reading these tweets: - He (Trump) has 'driven well past the last exit to relevance.'

The truth is that FOX News is an long, ongoing TV-ad for the GOP and haven't wavering an inch from that everlasting `commercial´ since it started up.

How about looking what's `under the hood´, and listen to what many people who actually worked there.has to say about FOX News.>>>>

It should be noted that Fox was the only outlet reporting on what was actually ongoing in the aftermath of the storm as well.

The other networks considered the situation wrapped up once Obama put in his two hour appearance.

I agree, Fox news is hired entertainment.The hired entertainment bring a lot of money to Fox. (HInt,hint) the hired help do not even believe the stuff they spout. Clue: one can watch a past 'Reliable Sources'  listen to what O'Reilly gives away.

Not so, I have CNN on most of the time. Hurricane Sandy was covered extensively, long after Obama arrived.
