House Minority Leader John Boehner, who will likely become the next House speaker, called the elections a referendum on the president and his priorities, which the American people rejected. "The real question now is are we going to listen to the American people?" Boehner said.When will we all grow up?? This stuff with politics is getting out of hand, I mean, are they running a country or fighting over their favorite toy. It really is a disgrace to an american family, especially if your in the middle class, and have to struggle to make ends meet. It is ashame that rich people, or well off people are careless with their money because they have it like that. The average family in the middle class has to watch these individuals drive around in their mercedes or BMW's, while these middle class families are struggling to keep the roof over their children's heads. Where are our morals! If you don't hear what I am saying then you must have it like that. remember that our country was living better until these wars broke out in the middle east. thanks to Mr Bush! falling into the fear that these extremists delivered on 911. There was a better way to deal with this issue, all we did by going to war with the al-queda extremists is gave them attention and made their hopes for fear in us a reality. In the meanwhile our children are dying and some churches are applauding this, when the lord says revenge is mine, be humble. These extremists did what brittany spears, and sarah palin do to make money or recruits. They advertised through their actions. it obviously works because sarah and brittany are well known and the extremists are not going away. I may sound bitter, and it is probably becuse the energy that is evolving through this so called gridlock situation that our government is showing us. we are living in a time of fear and dishonor to the freedom that is suppose to be in our constitution. What a mess!!

Call it gridlock if you like, but it is really like "saving the Republic" from a headlong rush to European style socialism. Anything to stop the "change you can fear" is a great idea.

Just take a look at those banks and Wall Street. The voters really should have seen it but with money being funding to the GOP secretly which was mostly used with negative ads, the GOP won merely on their negative attack. But those who voted for the GOP to seize control of the house, are going to be disappointed very soon.

Until the constituents of McConnell, Pelosi and Boehner vote them out of office, nothing with ever change for the good of the people. And since Pelosi garnered SEVENTY-THREE percent of the vote in her district and Boehner garnered SIXTY-NINE, you can count on their ultra-partisan zombies to keep voting those idiots right back in office no matter what they do.

Instead the Democrats have been passing bills without reading them in the middle of the night on weekends to the tune of 3 Trillion$.

Health Care & Cap/Tax are only the tip of the landmark "historic accomplishments" on the agenda to complete during his first term. Obama knew & had no intention of a second term .. these "historic" (as if the word added any credibilty) bills needed to be signed into law at lightening speed. Obama hit the ground running, spending, spending & spending some more to complete bankrupting the United States BEFORE the Stupid American people caught on. I must add he has certainly enjoyed the goodies i.e. Airforce One all the while running up that tab to be paid by tax payers also. Make no mistake .. China will call in their "notes", which we cannot pay but Not to worry China being a charitable country will out of the goodness of their hearts allow the United States to give them say, California .. in which we then can consider our debit satisfied. Think about that one! Be ready it will get worse before it gets better .. and it will get BETTER. "We" the People are collectively, Intelligent, Independent, Determined, Sharing, and Caring Defenders of All People's Right's! "We" are Not Stupid ... Never Ever Mistake our Kindness for Stupidity!

He and the GOP thoroughly trashed all of us. Enjoy working until you die.

They would rather continue destroying the economy and putting Americans out of work. All the while taking campaine money from Arabs and China.

You cannot do it in less than two years. Anyone would need time to get things together. I believe things are improving even though it is moving slowly but that is because the economy was badly damaged even before Obama came to office.

It blows my mind really...GWB spends 8 years royally screwing our economy and Obama sucks because he hasn't fixed it in 2 years??? If the problems we have were that simple, they really wouldn't be problems...It just seems more and more to me that the American people suffer willfully from self-inflicted amnesia...

Why can't nobama just get on his jet and go without taking half of dc with him. I would also like to know how many of his freinds from chicago are going. At a time when America is struggling, can he afford to spend 200 million a day for ten days just to go bother the indian people? Stay home nobama and take your lumps like a man.
