Yeah, a miracle will happen that will cause the economy to recover now.....considering how well he handled the economy the past 4 years.

4 more years of mediocre job growth, economic gain, record trillion+ deficits, etc. Yay.


Swinging from -700k jobs/month to +175k jobs/month means in 4 years we should be sitting on 875k jobs/month according to this analysis.

Of course all those people working & paying taxes will drastically reduce the deficit. So I'm glad you put so much faith in Obama!

I'll take slow, steady growth than booms followed by huge busts.


But if the stock market doesn't crash now and then how are you supposed to pick up cheap stocks?

Victory speeches in America are a different kettle of fish from the ones over here.



How so?

It seemed a lot more celebratory and exciting. Almost like a rock star addressing his fans.

Ours tend to have a man in a suit saying 'thank you', whilst looking extremely tired and weary.

I do notice Obama to be a bit that way in these kind of speeches . Humility doesn't seem to be an evident trait. But it is there.

I just want to point out that Nate Silver has, for the second straight election, correctly predicted the results of at least 49 of 50 states.


Dr. Wang also does a good job

Yeah, Americans love the whole rock star thing.

It seems so, along with Washington.

Yeah people realized how much they are throwing away their votes after that.

Well the Dems did anyhow. The Republicans learned that lesson in 1992.

I think the real question on everyone's mind is where has Hoppy moved to? His claims being that he will leave the US if Obama gets re-elected and all that jazz.

Doubt he can find a country with modern amenities and zero regulations and taxes, so I bet he stays.
