Favoring school levy renewals and noticing we have had an incredible run of sub-par presidents aren't 'liberal' positions.

Anyways, probably one of Obama's most powerful speeches. Shame that 70 percent of America was asleep and missed it.

For people who are wanting some confused, sad GOP/teahadist reaction, here's a guy I used to play cards/war games with in Wilmington. He's actually ran for city council twice now as a far right lunatic candidate, losing easily both times.

Quote

Today we all did our parts as Americans, remembering that voting is a treasured responsibility of freedom, paid for in the blood of soldiers that fight for us everyday. No matter what the outcome of the national race, I am proud of North Carolina standing for American ideals. I pray that our president will take a look at policies that will save our country and truly work to end the divisiveness that tears us apart. I am proud of my fellow Americans for making their voices heard, whether or not I agree with them... that is the American way. God Bless the United States of America.

I wonder if he was disappointed with NC in 2008?

First some dude got on complaining about Obama winning with 14% unemployment

Then there was a liberal female commentator being all smug, bringing up the aggregate polls never showing Obama losing all year (Fox panel tried to disagree, but she shut them down). She also mentioned the GOP doesn't represent what America looks like anymore, which made the panel throw a giant fit. I wish I caught her name, she was dropping bombs

He's upset Obama didn't give Clinton a shout out during the speech, and didn't congratulate democrats. More "waah Obama won't backslap us" nonsense. Obama called Clinton to personally congratulate him immediately after getting off the phone with Romney.

Sorta pumped for a 2nd term, more than i thought i;d be, not just the hotfiya in that speech but how aides are talking about how they'll focus on selling their arguments to the people and negotiating from a stronger position rather than mistakenly hoping the R;s will negotiate in good faith. At least they might start off on the right foot

The author of that, Josh Jordan, predicted a Romney victory by 2 points, with wins in CO, NH, WI, IA, FL, OH, and VA.

So what do you guys see as the major legislation to come out of Obama's second term? I'm guessing it'll be pretty similar to Clinton's second term; Marginal tax rates will be reduced with some negligible and fairly useless loopholes being closed, and medicare/SS will be "reformed" similar to welfare reform under the Republicans.

I don't see particularly many good, new things to appear for liberals aside from one or two non-sociopathic SC nominees.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #21358 on:** November 07, 2012, 04:34:58 AM »

I'm pretty sure Scalia will die in his robe rather than let a Democrat appoint his successor. Thomas is probably the same.

Hopefully Kennedy can be replaced. Ginsberg has shitty health, too.

No major legislation will be passed.

Mandark · « **Reply #21359 on:** November 07, 2012, 04:37:06 AM »

Quote from: Obama's acceptance speech

You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code. Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We’ve got more work to do.

I'm interpreting that as a budget compromise with the House GOP* that restores the Clinton top marginal rate, the DREAM Act, and cap-n-trade or some other major green energy bill as the top priorities.

Also, to a large degree this election was about letting the Obama administration actually implement its major legislation from the first term, as Obamacare and Dodd-Frank could have been either repealed by Congress or undermined by the executive branch.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Not in the sense of winning them over with sunshine and rainbows, but in that they have to compromise to get a budget at all, and raising the top marginal rate might be his sine qua non.
