Agreed. The dow was at 8,500 when Obama took office & it's 13,000ish now? Yeah the stock market sure hates Obama.

Obama ended up winning the popular vote anyway, so their complaints are just sour grapes (although I am all for getting rid of the electoral college too).

But that would mean changing the perfect document that was never ever ever meant to be changed, the Constitution.
Remember now, repubs just a few weeks ago were chatting about how we needed to get back to the Constitution... Now the Constitution is outdated and needs to be changed?
Except for the fact that the Constitution has a built-in mechanism for being changed. Instead of ignoring the Constitution we should follow the procedure for changing it.
I'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out that changing the Constitution is in fact Constitutional.

The Constitution has been amended 27 times. I have never understood the argument for "going back to the Constitution" when it clearly was meant to provide for adjustment.
I'm one those people. I wasn't old enough to vote in 2000, and now that I am the EC just pisses me off. The potential to have someone be elected president without winning the popular vote sucks, but what sucks the most is watching candidates campaign endlessly in some select battleground states when they should care as much about Utah voters as Ohio voters.
This is such a damn crock. This is a willfull and knowing distortion of the arguement by you and Thriller. You are both being severly dishonest here and you know it.
It has been stated several times on here that what happened to Gore was wrong and that he should have been president.
Obama did win the popular vote and would still have won.
I expected that from Thriller but not you Salty.
What bothers me, and others from the arguements I have seen and read, is that 229,000+people in Utah voted for Obama and it did not mean a damn thing. Disgraceful. Same with the 462,000+ in Nevada that voted for Romney.

Lets see where we will be if Obama keeps us going "forward" for the next 4 years:
-Obama will add another 5-6 trillion to the deficit
-Gas prices will be around $6 dollars a gallon
-Healthcare costs will go higher than most people's Mortgage per month
-Unemployment will be around 9%
YES WE CAN!!!

They are among the main differences in the voting electorate between 200 years ago and now.
I agree his use of tax cuts to stimulate the economy was inefficient.
Can't realistically happen at the same time. Gas prices dropped because the economy was sunk, and are rising because the economy is improving. However, I would not be surprised at $6/gallon gasoline.
Under Obama, we went from losing 850,000 jobs a month to gaining over 150,000. Four more years of that means we'd be adding 1,150,000 jobs a month.
OUtside of reducing payments in Medicaid, what has Obama done to increase health care costs? Certainly not Obamacare.
The sky is falling! Gloom and Doom! Oh no!
Why don't you quit bitching about Obama and start looking at the House.
They have just as much blame as the Senate, and President.
You can't tell me your side is doing all they can to work with the other side.
Enough excuses.

$6/gallon gas? Where are you getting that?
From what I've read gas prices should go down. Not a lot but about 5-10% in the next year or so.
