"Now it's time to do your fucking job."

No...for Christ's Sake...please (all elected and appointed, on all levels), keep doin' exactly what you've all been doin' (next to nuthin') and leave me be!

Stay stymied...stay hobbled...stay divided...stay partisan.

"...be honest. Say why Romney lost..."

'Cause his brand of communitarianism wasn't as attractive to 'the people' as Obama's.

Why do you lump me in with Adak?

We -- he and me -- are not in the same camp at all.

Because I am equally exhausted by his gloom and doom and your nay-saying.

Do you honestly believe that Obama will now be able to productively work with both parties?

Not a chance! He will be able to work productively with SOME of the members of his own party, and that's it.

I see.

That I'm exhausted by 'the people's' slavish devotion (addiction) to the ‘virtues’ and 'benefits' of 'governance', well, I guess I'll just eat that.

'nuff said.

They who get the majority of (electoral) votes rule. That's the way a republic works.

Sure, if the Republicans will get over themselves like both Christie and Bloomberg did to get done what needed to be done.

But then again, Christie has been all but abandoned by his own party. He's better off for it.

Obama can work just as well with Congress and House as Romney could have if he'd been elected. It all depends on whether the OTHER participants wish to work towards a solution instead of behave like a spoiled toddlers.

So clever.

Remember how upset you were when in the third debate Obama replied to Romney's observations of our naval strength? You're playing with the same fire here. Your misquoting here for humorous effect opens you up to the same treatment; you probably won't like it. But more importantly, it is another example of your willingness to just make shit up whenever it suits you, facts be damned. Don't be upset when adults who are talking about real issues ignore or reprimand you for childish interruptions like this.

In all fairness i started it.

I'm no debator. I'm just a mouthy girl who got too excited about the election.

Sorry.

fine, fine. but to be fair, I didn't see you misquote Adak or henry. I didn't see you just make shit up, like I have seen from Adak many times. I'm putting him on notice that unless he acts seriously in serious discussions, I'm going to treat his input as unfunny comic relief.

His demonstrated willingness to use dramatic hyperbole as fact, and not just breaking news items, subjects that are verifiable, or should be verifiable in a journalistic sense. For me, he has to show his work or be disregarded.

When you wake up enough to grasp the concept that a naval vessel in the Pacific, is useless for an immediate problem in the Mediterranean, then you'll grasp what I was referring to about Obama cutting down the number of naval ships we have.

Until then, it will fly right over your head.

I'm sure you could name, five (just five) specific plans that Obama will be implementing in this next term, surely?

Perhaps because Obama NEVER NAMED five specific plans for his second term, throughout his campaign.
