Staring at an election in which my knee-jerk party of choice has just been very extremely clearly been given a mandate to fix things I can only wonder at what the next few years will bring.
My worries are that despite the extremely positive message for my party that this election has brought that the party will not remedy the economy and will be so focused on "keeping Obama to one term" that they do nothing good for the nation.
I'm all for gamesmanship and "winning" but if you do nothing with your victory but crow about it then you don't deserve to win. Republicans need to sit down and get their asses to work. They need to ignore the political games and work on fixing things. If they don't then I imagine that before my kids are able to vote there will be a new party that will.....

Wulfa posting about something... CHECK
Wulfa swimming? ahahahhaha(no).
And my overly dramatic/sarcastic/ironic/whateveradverb response is me being silly not bashing your otherwise completely legit question. She doesn't like the swimming. Its not us boss.
HA!
Oh, and thanks Wulfa!
What I hope is that the two parties won't stalemate each other and that legislating will go on. Far too much time is spent, in my opinion, on attacking the other party. But that is how politics have been played throughout much of American history, and I don't foresee it changing soon. As for giving Obama a chance ... well, that is the way of the American system and it is why so many early politicians were concerned about giving the vote to the masses, who could so easily be swayed by emotion and not by logic (of course there were many other reasons as well, and those same politicians were just as susceptible to emotion). If he doesn't score with the general public then I don't know if he'll win a second term, and the general public has spoken volubly by voting in Republicans.
I am rambling ... not entirely certain I addressed the entirety of your comments.
