Shameful

The follow up to this election is shameful at best.  Minutes after the results were announced the conservatives and liberals began their sniping anew.  Obama will not have to worry about re-election and the right does not have to worry about Biden so there is not need for another 4 years of campaigning, just get to work you assholes.  The right claims Obama's win is no mandate from the people.  He won.  What more of a mandate do you need, when you are elected president that is the mandate from the people!  It was only by 2%?  That is 2 % more than Mitt Romney.  And Obama... you should learn from your last disaster.  You almost lost to a guy nobody likes because your record is terrible.  What really bothers me is the bullshit.  Romney ran on his ability to work across the aisle.  The minute Obama was elected the Republicans said they would not work with him.  He never had a chance.  Of course jamming a sweeping health care reform down their throats was not the way to make any friends. And now we are on the precipice of a fiscal cliff and we will go over it. 

Boehner just came out and said they would not raise taxes but would raise revenue with reforms such as the 1986 Tax Reform.  Oh, the one that cost 8.9 billion in revenue and actually helped lead to the eventual Bush I tax increase that cost him his job?  That worked well.  Meanwhile there is no way the left will work without some kind of tax increase, period.  Short sighted as well.  Plus the right will not cut defense for Medicaid and the left is the opposite.  No one will bend. They just send vague back handed shots at each other.  It is such a polarized government the 2 sides spend time taking each other down rather than build the country up.  I am just disgusted at our political system.  Believe me I know... I am in the home state of Bernie "Come to Vermont!" Sanders, Howard "hhhyyyyaaaa!!!!" Dean, and Peter "I hate business" Welch.  So there is that.
