I didn't literally mean him losing the popular, just that in the situation, people would start whining, and it did happen. We still have a lot of votes to count, and of course, the official electoral count, so there's still a ways to go. My spread was 310, 51% for Obama.


Right, and I'm saying that once California's counted, Obama will be +750,000 votes over Romney. The current lead is under 200,000 in favor of Romney. So Obama, projectively, has a nice, 550,000+ margin in popular vote over Romney.

Just making a point.

I'm not disappointed. I have been saying since last year Obama would win reelection, and I was right. I would have been more mad if Romney had won, because I hate him with a passion as well, and I would have been wrong.


Maybe it's only because i live in this country due to work related Reasons and have a stouch avoid American politics clause tattooed on to my forehead but I really don't know who would do better but apparently a decent amount of people think Obama and while i have never been an overt supporter of democracy.

I am a follower of the saying "Reap what you have sewn" So people will have to deal with Obama because they put him in there.

Perhaps i should move back to Norway once my contract expires, Politics there were never as confusing or outright clouded with lies as they are here.

Although i do like the positives of living in America, But i am sort of curious what a relected Obama will mean, I mean we sort of were slowing down a bit towards the end of this year and if things follow suit i might not need to wait for the contract to expire before i can leave.

<_< I really hope the place does not go bankrupt because of the president picked here tonight.
