Election 2012!

[Hi no Seijin]

I was watching the coverage on CBS until about 11, when the local news station started covering the election results for the Hampton Roads area.  After watching that for a while, I switched over to Fox, saw that Obama won, and then thought, "Well, that's all I need to know," and then I switched over to Conan.

If the Republican news channel declares the Democrat to be the winner mere hours after the votes start coming in, you know he won.  :P

(I'd still say this if the positions were reversed, by the way.)

For comedic effect. Language warning.

Really relieved Romney lost. He actually lost by a LOT. Nearly 100 electoral votes as a matter of fact.

Some of the reactions to President Obama's victory are truly shocking. Donald Trump said that the nation should enter a violent rebellion, and the Tea Party literally declared war on the country. I mean... come on, think about your actions.

In my important news, Puerto Rico may become a state within the near future:

I am not surprised at all about Donald Trump, he just seems to be craving attention like a 13 year old on Facebook. And the Tea Party is gonna be performing acts similar to the Beer Hall Putsch. I can just see it.

...They wont get far...

I can see Puerto Rico becoming a state. They might as well, they are closer to us than Hawaii.

Oh boy, here we go.

[Mysterious F.]

Woah. I knew that Texas filed one, but all of the others... shocking.

Also heavily ironic since Puerto Rico wants to be a state now.

So pathetic... I mean, seriously, as far as I can understand it, their primary argument is:

"We're afraid Obama is going to destroy the Union. So before he can do that, we're going to destroy the Union."

::)

The following is a quote from the link Gamefreak shared:

"There is probably a fourteen-syllable German word that precisely captures the combination of juvenile whining, sour grapes and goofy anti-government fervor that drove an infinitesimal number of Americans to submit and support these petitions, but the word that the kids in America use to describe this is 'butthurt.'"

My thoughts exactly.

"I've never felt such a strange combination of pity, and indigestion."

I agree, Mr. Krabs. This is hilarious and sad at the same time. This has happened before and it'll happen again. I knew a strangely large number of people that were planning to leave the U.S. if Mitt Romney had been elected, and they were very serious. A couple of our neighbors were already looking at homes in Europe. So regardless of who was elected, we were going to have these people.

I think overall, America made the right decision. It won't be until 2014, but people will eventually attempt to understand what the President has been doing, rather than immediately labeling everything he says as garbage. According to this article, Europe plans to follow Barrack's example. Whether the article is credible or not, I know for a fact that other countries' public polls showed that they favored Barrack Obama over Mitt Romney by landslides. "No use crying over spilled milk", said the largest Romney supporter I knew. "What's done is done. My candidate lost, and all I can do now is pray that the president has the right idea."

All I can say is that I'm relieved. I still have health insurance. College tuition didn't skyrocket, and my mom is still employed.

And we still have our Internet freedom. Can't forget that.

Really, Election Day was kind of an outstanding day on so many levels.

[MagmarFire]

Especially when I got to vote for a pro-environmental policy. That was good. :D

[Twilight Wolf]

I voted for Romney.

bravery level 11/10
