US Election Discussion

I went to bed early last night for a reason; if you noticed, I never once said I thought Obama was going to lose, just that he will be the cause of an inevitable world war. I'm not mad and I can't be disappointed when I already knew nobody paid any attention to anything resembling facts in this country. Nor do I think that the world will end on whatever date those Mayans said it would; it will be a few more years before it comes to that. Time to prepare for an interesting/terrifying 4 years, even if I'm wrong about that.

Let me rephrase. Progress can be done. Yes. But it will be by bypassing Congress through presidential powers, not by working with a Congress that remains fractured at the hip.

Bypassing an entire branch? That has got to be the worst...jesus. Listen, the only thing that separates us from a dictatorship, the ONLY thing, regardless of what people may think, is our three branch system. If you start bypassing it, it's a one way path to the end of this country. Relying on the decency of the president to not abuse his power is cute and all, but that's not how the world works; they will seize AS MUCH power as they can, regardless of who they are. It's not just Obama I'm saying this about, it is EVERY PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY.

The 47% comment analyzed not for their content alone, but on the principal that Mitt simply lacks some pivotal social skills needed to win over big investors, senators, or any other number of people to bring big some plans into actions does not give me a good projection that this man will quickly come in and take effective reigns when it comes to bringing us up to pace after kicking out the democrats.

It was a good comment stated terribly. I agree with you completely, though; he had no social skills and lacked the charisma necessary for the presidency.
