National Debt $16,217,000,000,000+

They might try. And if they do, they'll pay the price in 2014. They already paid a price this time around. Lost the bid for the White House, lost Senate seats and lost House seats. They can block and become irrelevant in 2014.

America spoke, and they like a Republican House.

America spoke, and they like a Republican House.

And they like Obama.

We don't have to worry about the 2016 election. Obama will have bankrupt the country before then. The fed already devalued the dollar by 50% during his first term. Can anybody say $10/gallon for fuel without getting a foul taste?

Funny I don't recall Obama creating the debt. He inherited it from Bush! People have short memories when it comes to the national debt.

The first thing we need is a congress that stop blocking every idea the President puts forth. We also need to get out of the middle east. If we were not spending so much money on war we could use it to pay down debt. If the wealthy pay their fair share there will be less debt. If our representatives do not start working together for the good of the country we will waste 4 more years in gridlock which is not good for anyone. The time for taking sides is over. The time to put aside differences and work for America is now.

America did what America had to do. Doesn't mean it's the right thing for America. America elected G W Bush - twice.

I apologize. I was part of that mistake. I voted for Gore and Bush "won" the election (with a little help from his brother, former FL governor. But I voted for Bush the second time because I hated him less than I despised Kerry. I've tried to make up for past mistakes by never voting Republican again!

No memory loss. Bush created 4 trillion in debt eight years. Obama is on his way to 6 trillion in a little over 4 years.

Nobody elected Obama king. He just gets to either sign, or veto, the bills Congress passes. The President proposes, the Congress disposes. Congress doesn't even have to wait for Obama. Between 535 elected folks, they can come up with many ideas of their own.

If America wants out of the Middle East, all Obama has to do is give the order.

America likes gridlock. If you don't believe me, look at the results of this election - all of them, not just the top of the ticket.

Romney would have grown the national debt 3 times of that amount.

I hear Scotland is especially beautiful this time of year, and they have such a utopian lifestyle, unicorns, rainbow farts, and all.

I guess we will never know.

Thank goodness for that.

No he wasn't elected king but he was elected president. TWICE! The majority of American citizens wanted Obama to remain the president. So he will remain the president until January 2017. If you don't like it too bad. That's democracy. If you don't like democracy you are in the wrong country.

In 4 years time you will get rid of the president you seem to hate so much but until then you are stuck with him. Stop whining and get used to it. The majority have spoken and the majority rules!

And you're point is?

Are you suggesting that the people who voted for Obama to remain president should leave the country? Why? We got what we want and we are happy. America is a great place for us right now.

Not whining. But, Obama is not king. Keep repeating that to yourself. Last four years of war in the world are under his watch. Gitmo is under his watch. Bush is not in charge, hasn't been for four years.

Obama gets to live in the big house, and give all the speeches he wants, Congress still writes the laws and appropriates the money. Unless he vetoes the bill, he is agreeing to what Congress does. Congress can remove him from office anytime it wants to. He not the king.

The Supreme court decides on what the Constitution says. They are an independent branch of government. He just gets to live in the big house, and the Constitution says he is Commander of the Army and Navy. Obama is not the king.

Typical republican post election loss gibberish. You must be completely devastated to be spouting such utter nonsense.

My husband is from Scotland and yes, it is lovely any time of year but right now America is the only place I would want to be.

Obama won and all is right with the world.

You stay happy , Sunshine!

William Wallace? Never heard of him? Looks a lot like Mel Gibson.
