Is it likely that Obama will be effective now that he has a second term?

If there is one thing I absolutly want to be realised, it is that the deregulations which caused the financial meltdown of 2007 - 2008 should finaly be cut.

Anyone got a Faux News reaction to this? I could do with a laugh.

If the Republican party ever again wants to be relevant concerning actually fixing the real problems we do have, they must kill the albatross that is religiously driven social conservatism.

I have nothing to add to this beyond a feeling of relief.

However, Nap, your new avatar is the shit.

Have you seen the documentary "Right America feeling wronged", by Alexander Pelosi.
It`s about the 2008 election as she follows, interviews and films right wing america during the election.

There is no comentary by her and no message she tries to bring across - so the viewer is left to make up his or her own opinion.

My impression was the one, of a bunch of hysteric mad people ranting arround with doomsday prophecies which will become truth if Obama is elected in 2008.

From my little observation in comparison to yesterdays election, the date and year might have changed, but the hysterical doomsday prophecies have not.

I would leave you a link to the film, but I guess the moderaters wont accept that. And I think that you will probably have no problem finding the film.

Seems to me the votes they got, they got because of their religious conservative views. Yeah, we don't like them, but look at all those who DO!

If they look at why Obama won, they will realize they will need to specifically drop their war on women (abortion/birth control), LBGT community, and gain more minority votes with better stances on immigration and welfare. They can do all that and keep pushing the other religious agenda stuff, though, and I bet the will.

I wonder how or even if this loss will affect the tea party? Will it makerepugs realize how the tea party is hurting them, or will the react by becoming MORe extreme??
A quick perusal of any conservative message board tells me they will actually become more extreme. The vast majority of them think Mitt was not a "true Conservative"TM, they routinely called him "Moderate Mitt" and a "Liberal republican" if you can believe that.

They live in an alternate universe, and this loss won't fix their retarded thinking. It's likely to make it worse.

But on a bright note, yaya for Obama! And Gay marriage! And 2 states decriminalizing pot!! The progressive movement is still progressing, despite attempts to stop it. Go us!!1

A link to a film on election?

You're allowed to link that. And I've also googled the film, but I didn't find any reason why the moderators wouldn't accept that.

a) Massachusetts governor

There is ample evidence, and for that lot evidence is entirely optional, hey-oh.
