Strangely enough, seeing this makes me want to vote super liberal in the next election.

Like...green or socialist. Seriously. Support for labor so the nation can start producing again rather than outsourcing the backbone of our economy. Support for the teachers, increasing their salary enough that the profession will attract intelligent and capable young minds. Support for clean energy to reduce our imports and dependence on oil. Reform to stop corporations from paying Washington to send our young men and women to do their dirty work in whatever country they want to make a profit in next.No, this house of cards wasn't built in 2008. The last thing I want is to vote in someone who looks back in conservation instead of forward in progress.

Oh...it isn't my victory.  I'm just in a slightly better position to endure it than the morons that elected our asshole president.  That's all. :)  As soon as you heard that swine tell the "Joe the Plumber" guy that he was happy that "Joe" was making money but that he wanted to spread it around....well.....you should have known better.  Anyone that confiscates the rightfully earned wealth of another is a f**king thief and now the master thief the liberals have elected has stolen their future.

So you don't believe in any income taxes?

FWIW I didn't vote for him. That doesn't mean I'm going to greet news of impending financial collapse with laughter. Your disregard for the health of the nation is disturbing.

Let's look at a few facts, shall we?  He had incurred more debt than any president that has preceded him.  Our real estate values are dropping, on average, 1% per month (that is a free fall, btw), our debt is passing our GDP, our unemployment rate has not been this high or this sustained since the Great Depression, he has passed ENORMOUS tax legislation in the form of ObamaCare and next will be Cap and Trade if he has his way.

No babies....there IS no turning it around. 

We also have failing schools, decaying cities, very little production to support an economy, growing class divides...the country is in very poor shape, and that's been building up for quite awhile.

Like I said, I hope it turns around. I wish people were more patriotic. It makes no sense to love an idealized picture of "America" while despising the nation herself and laughing as she grows sick.

No sense of pride, there.
