Obama for another fours years, Romney has just conceded defeat.

I don't know enough about American poitics to comment, so I'll wait for Rods2

He would have got my vote, I like him. He had done very well considering how Bush left it all.

The lesser of 2 evils, IMO, and certainly the one I would prefer go see sat with his finger on "the button"

Exactly my view. Romney hardly knew where Europe or anywhere else in the World was, never mind about how to deal with international affairs.

as I said president is just a figure .. they sign what they are ordered to.. watch the speech of Obama when he was first selected.. and look his answers to questions.. there are dark areas that he cant answer..

[Sir Tigger KC]

I think the world is a slightly safer place this morning than it might have been..... 

O'Bummer needs to crack on and work with the Republicans in congress to avoid the 'Fiscal cliff' that is looming in January.  If they can't work together and the scheduled tax rises and austerity measures come into force, then the effects on the global economy look pretty dire!!  I expect they will sort it out, but expect horsetrading and brinkmanship that will make the EU debt summits look like kids birthday parties!

With the Senate and the House of Representatives still on opposite sides, I'm afraid the "stalemate" of the last 4 years will continue.... not Obama's fault, but he is, effectively, leading a coalition of which he has little control.

Good side .. no extreme policies will get through
Bad side.. even sensible policies are "horsetraded" by both sides to obtain maximum benefit elsewhere

result ... much stalemate...

Working in an American company I know .. well, quite a few Americans.

Most seem to be happy to see Obama in office.. one, however, came to work this morning wearing all black and is officially "in mourning" for his country. He believes Obama will be the last ever US president thanks to the forthcoming world war that will be, in part, triggered by his election....

...no, I'm not even kidding.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Not keen on either. But Obama is probably the lesser of two evils.

Is it true that George Bush Junior voted for Obama by mistake?

He's not the sharpest tool in the box.

Ha Ha That certainly wouldn't surprise me!!!    In fact I don't think I'd be that surprised if it turned out that Romney had voted for Obama....

imo he has to do only one thing.. nationalise FED.. and write his name into history .. and free up the nation..

In 2010 I was in the US having dinner with some people in the Mid West (Indiana). The conversation turned to politics and of course Obama.

I was absolutely shocked at the anti-Obama venom at the table. On a whole pile of topics but in particular "Omaba-Care", the view was that nobody should get anything for nothing, if we rich people have to pay for healthcare then why don't the poor people ? I'm not exactly a lefty socialist, but I really had to clam up or risk getting lynched.

One of my colleagues is currently, essentially, saying that everyone who voted for Obama deserves a slow, painful death..
