Samus, we get it. You worship Obama and voted for him both times.

But for the rest of us, this is more than just political gossip. It's a major economic intervention and is a poster child for why a centrally planned economy, can't and won't ever work. It illustrates precisely what's wrong with America. It also gives an ominous outlook for the tech industry. If bureaucrats and "czars" think they know better than the engineers who make the cars, how much longer before the government starts poking around in your code?

The reason that election night was such a shock and downer for so many was not that Messiah got re-elected. After all, the guy's a putz and will be gone in 4 years.

No, the real tragedy is that 51% of the voting public thought it was a good idea to re-elect him. THAT'S the source of the sadness. Kiss the magic era (roughly corresponding to the 20th century) of the USA goodbye.

Bingo. It's tough to share a country with a majority thinks that endless welfare handouts and debt fueled spending binges can go on forever, and that economic central planning is a workable system. Basically, a county ignorant to history, common sense, economics, and the Constitution itself. Sad indeed to have not a single thing in common with my ignorant countrymen. They're all dead strangers to me now.

Endless welfare handouts occur with both parties. Remember corporate welfare? Corporations are people too, remember that?

Meh... I run all my lawn equipment on non-ethonal gas.
Now running my 1999 Subaru on it to... got a %12 boost in my fuel economy.

Was running a consistent 20mpg (hundreds of datapoints to support this)
On Non-E gas, I'm now getting 22.5mpg (a few dozen datapoints to support this).

It's a tie in $$/mile price wise, but hey... no Ethonal is probably going to save me. for non-e gas near you! :)

one of the greatest Presidents of all time


When it's not election season, even a lot of Democrat's aren't happy with him. Hard-left doesn't like him, the entire right doesn't. Just a segment of the center-left. The guy managed to win a campaign of personalities.

Meanwhile, under his watch, economy's done nothing. EPA's run wild. Middle East has gone from shitty to shittier. Iraq's on the verge of seeing Kurdistan say "To hell with this already" and going its own way. Afghanistan, depending on Karzai, could be Taliban run again by decades end at this rate. In Asia, despite a "pivot", our allies are worried we're full of words and no deeds if it came down to it. Ah, and that "reset" with Russia? Yeah, that got us.. lets see.. nothing, except a nuclear treaty that has us, again, cut more than they do. Seems legit.

And for all that extra debt, we've got something to show for it, right? High-speed maglev trains EVERYWHERE, right? Maybe flying cars? A glorious military victory against evil? Men on Mars, asteroids getting mined?

Oh wait, we don't have ANYTHING to show for it? Hmm.

Yeah. Best President ever. Totally makes Eisenhower look like a nitwit.

Sometimes I really wish you (D) bags would actually say useful things instead of talking points. Fox News? Really? Did Fox News make the 6 TRILLION new debt? Did Fox News have 8%+ unemployment for 4 years? Did Fox News cut our credit rating? Did it spend our money on massive green projects that went bankrupt? Did it make it law that you HAD to buy health insurance from the private sector as a requirement of good citizenship by perverting the Interstate Commerce Clause? Did Fox News make it law that any American can be held indefinitely without due process? Did Fox News kill an American ambassador and provide guns to Mexican criminals?

Or did Fox News just report it when Obama did these things.

And you call us sheep? If I was a Democrat leader I would Stalin you. I would steal all our possessions and stuff you in an gas chamber myself because you all literally BEG for it.

I doubt it was actually 51% that agreed with him. I know I voted for him, but only because of who he was running against. Romney was completely out of touch and a douchebag of epic proportions. If the right would put up a true fiscal conservative, and not just a reverse robin hood, I think they would have won handily.

Put up a candidate that is willing to make cuts across the board - drop entitlements and also drop tax cuts for the rich, cut programs that benefit rich and poor alike (and middle class) and I would vote for him easily.

Ironically you got voted down because of the emotional backlash on the first 2 sentences of your response, and despite the fact that the rest of your post is spot on.

Nobody ever talks about all the loopholes Reagan closed that greatly favored the rich, funny how that works these days.

Because Reagan is DEAD. Has been for some time. Amazing how Democrats ALWAYS bring up the past but never learn from it an omit blame for their leadership for ANYTHING.
