Good catch. Obama won under conditions that dictated that NO INCUMBENT could win under.
Remember?
Coming to terms with my feelings. Long, sorry.

Quote from Arnie:
The thing that puzzels me is that some people, especially the young, obvioulsy voted on issues that were personal to them, whether it was gay rights, womens rights, etc...They really didn't vote for what's in their best interest down the road. I will take comfort in the fact that those young voters will be subsidizing my green fees and martini's in just a few short years. Oh yeah, and FREE health care, even though I'm in 1%.
My attitude is "if they don't care, why should I".
I used to worry about the debt, but the reality is every new generation is more liberal and more about big government than the previous one. So #@&^ `em, #@&^ `em up the @$$. Let's run this puppy up to a quadrillion and leave `em broke, starving, homeless and shivering cold so I can have Maker's Mark instead of Jim Beam.
Let's say I'm government and you're the public. Of that $16 trillion, I owe you about $11 trillion. Pay your taxes and I'll be able to pay you. You won't get it all at once, but you knew that, since the notes you bought have various redemption dates. In the meantime, my income is 5x what it needs to be to pay your interest as well as the remaining interest.
Now, for the remaining $5 trillion. About $1 trillion of that is intra-governmental, so shuffling, today a liability, tomorrow an asset. Etc.
Finally, $4 trillion owed to foreigners. As with the first $11 trillion, it's not all due at once. Unlike the first $11 trillion, it's not all owed to one entity (for the purpose of this analogy), so it's not going to be called in at once. But let's suppose in some alternate universe all those foreign entities around the world, public and private, organize themselves and call it all in at once. Ok, we call in all at once our own foreign investments, public and private, which account for 90% of what they're due.
We know that affirmative action gave obama first his undergraduate admission, then his graduate admission, an editor position, then a law professor gig even though he hasn't published a single scrap f work. He was a high school pothead and didn't make the honor roll at columbia, we can agree on those facts. Then he got elected based on the myth that he was some sort of scholar and intellectual, not for being some sort of great accomplished person.
Bush is also a lightweight, but no white ever once held him up as some sort of messiah.
btw Marion Barry was elected mayor of DC after a cocaine conviction- yet another fine black role model. You can't tell me that getting elected is some sort of accomplishment worthy of accolades.
Again you want to make this personally about me, why? that's rather stupid as I am not in ofice. I can assure you though that my resume sans elected office is much more impressive than Obamas
A point that has not been touched upon here is how the Obama camp shrewdly targeted women voters.
