That being the case, the U. S. will have the same President for at least the next year and possibly for five more years. Whatever happens will be the result of democratic elections. If we really believe in our system of government, is it right for people who's candidate loses a free election to run down and attempt to weaken the person who the majority chooses?
It seems to me that such an attitude, such actions, are not in the best interests of our country.

I do understand the point that is being made here and in most cases i would concur. However, Obama's policies are so over the top and so far left that the majority of Americans have a right to react and rebel. For example how do you expect taxpayers to act when Admin officials tell you with a straight face that for every $1.00 spent on food stamps it will returns $1.84, This is a portion of Obama's redistribution agenda. If Obama's right then he just found a way to reduce the debt..simply put everyone in America on food stamps. How should taxpayers react when Obama continues to push for the VAT tax as a way to reduce the debt. Europeans are now running double digits % in VAT plus income, property, etc taxes. All VAT will do is increase spending. Keep in mind that the VAT tax applies everytime value is increased in a product
So to say that we need to get behind Obama with policies like the above and others such as ObamaCare is simply counter-intuitive. Taxpayers would do right to get this guy out of office in 2012
