Guarantee most people on both sides don't really understand what's going on. Hell, I don't really understand how Obamacare works, cause all I ever hear is that it's either A) The spawn of hell itself or That Republicans are trolls and Obamacare will save us all. (Republicans ARE trolls but you know what I mean.)


Ah well, our medicare is crap so I guess this stops it from getting even worse.

We in Canada may need to build a fence to keep the crazies coming in from your side b/c of this.
Maybe re-enact a little war of 1812.

@KoG (because Quoting doesn't seem to be working): Just as long as you invade through Lake Michigan and not Lake Erie (I'm from Ohio), go for it.

Glad he actually did mandatate Health Care. Great step for equalizing the countries' classes without harming the middle class.

If you hate this post, sue me then shoot me in the head at point blank range.

Kind of funny how the notion of a National Health Service, which has saved millions upon millions of lives and benefits everyone is constantly shot down by the country that I as a Englishman respect more than any other country in the world for the reason that it offers no benefit to those at the very top (who already have BUPA, thank you very much). Obama has been under embargo due to a Republican majority congress, preventing him from doing much, which in turn benefits the Republicans as they can then use his "lack of work" to criticize him. I think Obama's broadly Centrist, and to a Luxemburgist not very exciting, but he commands respect for this final act. Oh yeah, and he'll get two terms, obviously. Let's see more happen.

The American political system has been poisoned into something completely polarized. Voters just go with their party on everything without really thinking about each issue. American Democrats do it too, but a bit less so.

Don't be so sure. I'll be voting for Obama, but Bush managed to win when there was no reason to believe he would.



Honestly, I don't mean to rant, but I just can't stand how people use convoluted economic bull**** to justify letting people die.

It was funny that the media was clueless when the ruling came out.

You think Democrats will gain a majority during his second term?

He cheated. Really no other explanation due to the fact BOTH his elections erupted in controversy.

I don't doubt that he cheated, but controversy means nothing. There's always controversy due to the polarized nature of American politics. People will always accuse the other side of shenanigans.

That being said, Romney does have a crapton of support. Obama's rating have gone way down.

He didn't exactly cheat more like he had friends in convenient places.

Oops. Make that Lake Huron. Or Lakes Ontario or Superior, I don't care. Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake entirely surrounded entirely by US territory.
