I think Obama would have been able to accomplish much more in his first term if the Republicans and especially the Tea Party had not make it their prime focus to try to stop him from accomplishing anything. It angered me that they were so intent on making Obama look bad that they were willing to risk harm to America just so they could blame him. I wonder if they will continue to try as hard to sabotage his second term as they did his first term, and if they do, how much their bigoted ignorant hatred will harm our country, our species or our planet.
I am also encouraged that in his new administration there is a chance of the Supreme Court having one or more justices replaced, which could affect its composition for decades to come and, as I see it, from the more intelligent and more compassionate side of the political fence. As a voting adult for the past thirty years, I have seen the Republicans become more and more greedy and insane. They give outrageously extremely unfair advantages to the rich regardless of the social or environmental costs, exploit the poor, rape the environment, are anti-science, and try to legislate people's personal lives when it is none of their damn business what people do in private.
It is disturbing to see the increased polarity and hatred in the political divisions of this country. Basically as I see it the Democrats at least try to help the poor, protect the environment, work with other nations instead of bossing them around, and favor education. tolerance and what is most fair for EVERYONE. The Republicans have become the party of unbridled short-sighted greed, extreme religious fanaticism, ignorance and fear.
Go Obama! Yay!
My country is also divided.
Some support liberal "Civic Platform" other conservative "Law and Justice", I generally supported the the liberals but I think in the next election vote for the the conservatives
