Mitt Romney concedes as President Barack Obama wins a second term in office. Obama won the popular vote by about 2% and so far is credited with 303 Electoral College votes to Romney′s 206. Florida, with 29 EC votes, is still undecided though it will probably go for Obama as well. It may as well for all the good it will do him since the GOP retained a firm grip on the House. America is still divided politically as we face a barrage of economic and foreign policy challenges. While many will say that the national polls got it right, they actually did not, as there were far more ′undecideds′ than thought. Most of these folks broke for Obama in the last two days with 42% telling the exit polls that Obama′s response to Hurricane Sandy influenced them. I am certain that the people dumpster diving for food and water on Staten Island will be happy to hear that!
So what happened? How did Obama, the worst president in the history of the nation, even worse than Jimmy Carter, win a second term? Not only is Obama the first president to preside over a downgrading of our nation′s credit rating, but he is also the first to win reelection with fewer votes than he won in his first campaign. Obama′s campaign was based on a two-word memo issued in August 2011, ′KILL ROMNEY!′ So forget about any high ideals or flowery sentiments.
Here is my advice to any future Republican presidential candidates for running in 2016. First, under no circumstances should you ever write an ′op-ed′ for the New York Times! America apparently prefers politicians of dubious origins. Just look at how Minnie-Ha-Ha won her senate seat in Massachusetts. If you are a good liar with little to no paper trail to weigh you down, then you too can be elected. Another piece of advice is that when you campaign, play to win! Not just run the clock out, but hammer your opponent. In hockey, we have a saying, just don′t beat′em, BEAT′EM! Check them in the boards and give them an extra elbow. Bloody them! Politics is more than just a full contact sport, its WAR!
So yes, I will eat my crow with a smile. I played into the hands of Mitt Romney, a candidate that I did not like nor felt adequate to challenge Obama. Can you imagine Newt Gingrich holding back during the last two debates? Nope! Like a good bulldog, he would have gripped into Obama′s throat and having a short snout, would not have let go since Newty could breath just fine. Obama owes much to the Media for covering his tracks. The unfolding tragedy of Hurricane Sandy storm victims is not being covered nationally. CBS News just released more of their September 12, 60 Minutes interview which again proves that Obama lied in the second debate about calling Benghazi a terrorist attack. And so it goes on, and on, and on.
For my Liberal pals I admit being wrong about the nature of the mood of the American people. Certainly of the 47% of blood-sucking zombies that want to live their entire lives on the government dole. So for you, my act of contrition is a little song parody based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, ″My Favorite Things″ from ″The Sound of Music.″ Since I lack the musical and video skills, feel free to put it on You Tube with my blessing if so motivated…
Binders of women with long lovely lashes,
Billionaires seeking big cuts in their taxes,
Firing Big Bird to make children sting,
These are a few of my favorite things!
New mansions with indoor car elevators,
Making a pile as a corporate raider,
My dog on the car roof while vacationing,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Liberal Media,
Fact-check bloggers,
Twitter tweets make me sad.
I look at my capital gains
and then I don′t feel
Sooo Bad!

Maybe next time, the GOP will pick a candidate who didn’t make all of his money on Wall Street which bankrupted the fed budget, while avoiding paying any income taxes of his own for nearly a decade.
November 7th, 2012 at 8:07 am
Or at least not nominate a guy who could not even beat John McCain in a primary. That should have been the most telling clue.
November 7th, 2012 at 8:25 am
yeah, that too.
November 7th, 2012 at 8:31 am
America will regret this election. Most of the useful idiots do not have a clue what is in store for their children or their grand children. America is changing alright into a third world nation. The US stock market took a noise dive this morning.
November 7th, 2012 at 8:54 am
Amerika has shrugged.
November 7th, 2012 at 9:56 am
So the market took a “dive” this morning and it’s due to the reelection of the president. But when the same market doubled over the past four years it had nothing to do with him? Hmmmm.
November 7th, 2012 at 3:22 pm
TA
Yes, the market crashed the day after election day. How many election days are there in four years ?
November 7th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Riiiiiiiiiight! Newt would have beat obama, HA! LMAO! Perry? Can’t even remember his name. You guys are a joke, seriously! Romney had the best chance, just that there are more minorities, low income people, union members, teachers, liberals, and single women who believed the fake “war on women” than there are Republicans and Independents, and you’re all sore losers. Let’s face it guys, the party is finished until people wake-up.
And you andy are worse than a fukin liberal with your stupid “artwork”. You shouldn’t even blog if you can’t control your emotions and just give an analysis / opinion without the cr@p!
November 7th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Ron, give Andy his dream because he has earned that right. Gingrich couldn’t even win but one primary. Andy knows what would have happened but we can still root for the home team, like I still believe in the Golden State Warriors.
You are right that Romney had the best chance and almost took out an incumbent president, quite a rarity historically. We are a divided nation which wants moderate politicians in office and a more moderate Republican party in order for it to remain credible. The GOP’s Senate debacles of the last two election cycles prove it. We can’t even win a conservative state like Indiana when we nominate idiots, throwing away Senate seat after Senate seat the past two years!
Unfortunately, and it completely SUCKS to realize it, we are no longer a center-right nation. We have become a center nation, thanks in no small part to the growing Hispanic population that perceived the GOP to be unfriendly to it’s best interests.
In four years the GOP will be running against Hillary Clinton. I haven’t checked Intrade but she has to be heavily favored to win already. She will run as a moderate and can only be beaten with a ton of luck and someone who runs as a moderate who can not only drive up the GOP vote but win two-thirds of the independent voters. Tall, tall order.
November 8th, 2012 at 4:34 am
@ Patrick,
They better start grooming Rubio immediately, even for V.P.
November 8th, 2012 at 5:58 am
Ron,
Bless your heart! I suspected that you would get upset. The truth hurts, doesn’t it?
The polls were apparently correct in that the turnout would follow 2008. While some point to the changing demographics, with young single women, Blacks, Hispanics and the youth vote all adding 1% point to their share of the electorate, something else happened that bears examination.
We had 10 million more eligible voters this year than 2008, yet voter turnout was down by 12 million. So 22 million people did not participate that could have. Romney was down 3 million votes from what McCain drew in 2008. Why was that?
I shall explain all in my rant for today…
November 8th, 2012 at 6:28 am
TA,
Why did the Dow double in value the past 4 years? That’s very simple. I-N-F-L-A-T-I-O-N!!!
Ben Bernanke and his Happy-Bottom Print Shop has been cranking out the cash to inflate stock futures. Gold and oil prices have also doubled, as has the price of gas at the pump, corn, rice, etc, etc, etc…

P.S.
Theres no “E” in Micky
November 8th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
Andy,
The only thing that hurts is seeing a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the country in order lost. Romney would have done a superb job with everything from energy independence, the capitalist market, healthcare, and the military. Seeing him lose is the only thing that hurts, not that people are ignorant, that’s just part of life.
November 8th, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Eh, I dont know Ron.
The ignorance is getting pretty scary.
November 8th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
Well said as usual Mick…
