You'd be surprised by the fact that people live in Texas.

Look at the population distribution map, then look at me. Look at the flat-colored precinct map, now look back to me.

Now look at how the population distribution map shows a more reasonable and less biased representation of the "National Popular Vote", now look down.
You see it, don't you? You see the hamburger.

CNN called Colorado for Obama, giving him 290 points. Even if Romney pullsa miracle of in Ohio, he's still at 272. It's official. Obama has won.

I can turn that against the President and now use it for the next four years when his claims of bipartisanship don't work like how he wants them portrayed. Just saying.

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.

Theirs going to be a lot of potential profit in political activism and lobbying over the next few years :). Didn't want Obama to win, but him winning and how the Congressional elections are going is going to freak a good few people out, gonna provide some nice opportunities.


Good to know although my skill set is fairly Limited but i would not mind staying i guess, I like having the right to own firearms and now from what i have read Pot is legal in CO? I might just stick around although to be honest The company i work for is in just as bad straits from their own poor managment skills to Obama's legislation.

But here i own a home, a car, Two cats and several firearms along with a old German motorcycle i am reassembling, Norway was a lovely country baring the occasional political inssurrection but this Country has it's own appeal.

Oh yes, with Mitch "We Want to Make Obama a One Term President" McConnell and the House Republicans? Clearly Obama was refusing to be bipartisan.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.
