Now what, USA?

We have a debt limit vote and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts coming up, with the Sequester thrown in. It's going to be an interesting lame duck session!

Such a relief after the most expensive campaign in history. Time for a positive outlook. I'm positive that Wash has to get its act in gear.

I smoke pot. You got a problem with that, Miller?

You want urinary bladder cancer, than smoke your lungs out.

See if I or anyone else cares.

It's either that or some other way to die. But, there's no credible science showing a causal link, so pardon me if I'm not too worried bout that.

I think the Budget Control Act needs to kick in to give this country a much needed kick in the ass.

most likely we continue to skid towards financial crisis as washington continues to fail to get the work done eventually leading to the markets hammering us.

I also fully expect Obama to introduce Constitutional crisis by massively ramping up his practice of governing by presidential fiat.

Depression and revolution are the end game, though how we get there has yet to be determined.

isn't he a hoot?

chicken little returns...

Netanyahu has unambiguously tied himself to the Birther movement. Obama should tell Israel that if they don't stop building illegal settlements on occupied land all American aid will stop.

Oh, and no more military adventures in the Middle East.

That should make the world a safer, and better, place.

A high-speed rail system would be a great idea. Save a mint on TSA staff feeling you all up at the airport. This is what China's been doing with railways. Three hundred plus kmh would make it faster to jump a train than line up at the airport.

No; not without the House and the courts
(the Chief Justice not withstanding).



No. "Revolution" 'd be good for Obama, giving him a quick excuse
to expand his power, declaring an emergency as Hitler did
and suspending the right of habeas corpus, as Abe Lincoln did,
regardless of the fact that that is a power of Congress (set forth in Article I, not Article II).

It IS the destiny of humanity to degenerate into the Borg; it always was.
A Romney success woud only have delayed that a little bit.
Those of us in A2K (of our respective ages) will be safe and immune,
protected by natural age-based human death from becoming the Borg,
but your grandchildren will lose all freedom as the effects of the Second World War
are reversed and both Stalin and Hitler will posthumously get their wishes
of unlimited oppression by authoritarian-collectivism.

Very popular reasons will be forthcoming for progressively increased
government surveillance.
For instance, new parents will LOVE having newborn babies implanted
with GPS tracking devices against possible loss or kidnapping,
the same way that owners of dogs have that done now. "Life Alert"
( "I 've fallen and I can 't get up" ) is already in use, on a voluntary basis;
progressively more cameras in the streets.
(That is what leftist "progress" was and is toward;
George Orwell was only rong about the YEAR; it was not 1984.)
In the future, will overhead satellite technology have facial recognition software?

I remain safe; ` no one is chasing ME, nor hardly even heard of me.

I am safe, but I think its too late for your grandchildren.
Shud America be compared to the Titanic after it hit the ice,
or compare it to the Weimar Republic ??????????

I think you're addressing the wrong person, Hawkeye loves all that Borg leather.

Obama should be tailoring his Supreme court candidates list.

I am concerned that the government is developing a drones based strategy of endless warfare on perceived enemies. I read one article that asserts the CIA is getting in the drone business also. Isn't it time the military was reigned in a bit?

what was the popular vote tally?

I 'm very, very glad that I have no children.

On the other hand, I recognize that if I did have any children,
thay might well OPPOSE my pro-liberty, Individualistic wishes,
as I rejected my father 's political support of Roosevelt
(which is to imply that thay might well be happy about joining the Borg,
as kids were happy about joining the Hitler Youth and Stalin's Commie Young Pioneers; I dunno).

I convinced my father to vote for Barry Goldwater in 1964,
but Lee Harvey Oswald nullified that election.

Yes, it is way past time.

It's also time for Obama to STOP EXPANDING the Patriot Act-like police state programs he's been using to even a greater degree than Bush has.

After his complete reversal on things like warrentless wiretapping and his inexcusable expansion of powers like those...I couldn't vote for him this year (like it mattered in Chicago anyway).

I voted for Gary Johnson; any idea how he did?
