Barak Obama has been re-elected President for a second term. Mitt Romney conceded shortly after learning the key swing state of Ohio went to the President. Florida and Alaska are still to declare.
The Presidential elections have coincided with elections for a number of seats in the House and the Senate. This has seen the GOP, (Grand Old Party) retain control of the House: with 221 for the Republicans and 164 for the Democrats, so far. The Democrats have a narrow majority in the Senate: with 51 seats over the Republicans 44. It is feared that the gridlock in Congress could continue after the election.
A number of States were also voting on far reaching issues such as gay-marriage, Obamacare, the legalisation of marijuana, and the use of condoms in the porn industry. So far Maine has voted to legalise same-sex marriage: the first state to do so after a popular vote on the issue.
With 90% of the media on his side, no wonder. So far, I haven’t read anything positive about Romney here in Europe, according to surveys, 95% of Germans would have voted for Obama.It’s a sad day for America.
Four more for the O!
Very sad day for America, they just re elected a man that pushes America deeper out of superpower status. I guess this is what all the drugs and yoga do to you, and you start thinking upside down.
Even many Christians got caught up in Obamas charm but you have no discernment to sense the spirit on him. Let me discount discernment and assume that you are babies, but you could atleast see natural signs and make an informed decision right? Lets look at Obama for a second vs what God wants:
– Bible says that God blesses those who bless Israel but Obama has been the most anti-Israeli pro jihadi president ever.
– Bible counts homosexuality a sin, Obama is for it.
– Bible calls you to rise up to conquer, to he a king, a CEO, a business owner, not just a 9-5er. Obama’s policies enable more charity and food stamps to lazy homeless people and tax the richer business owners. Don’t you see that if you tax the businesses higher, they will move it out of the US, hence less jobs for the victim minded 9-5 people!
And you still voted to move us back to the Stone Age!
Tough situation. Romney narrowly lost Ohio which was key to winning the election.
This has been a hard day for Romney supporters. Now back to the drawing board. For those of you disappointed though, maybe a bit of humour would help:-
A MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN
To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up ‘revocation’ in the Oxford English Dictio
nary.)
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy).
Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
———————–
1. The letter ‘U’ will be reinstated in words such as ‘colour,’ ‘favour,’ ‘labour’ and ‘neighbour.’ Likewise, you will learn to spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters, and the suffix ‘-ize’ will be replaced by the suffix ‘-ise.’ Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up ‘vocabulary’).
————————
2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ”like’ and ‘you know’ is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter ‘u” and the elimination of ‘-ize.’
——————-
3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
—————–
4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can’t sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you’re not ready to shoot grouse.
———————-
5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
———————-
6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
——————–
7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.
——————-
8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
——————-
9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth – see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
———————
10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one’s ears removed with a cheese grater.
———————
11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).
———————
12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.
——————–
13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us mad.
—————–
14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
—————
15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
God Save the Queen!
I have noticed that most people around me hate America and its policies but in a weird way think Obama is great for everyone. Isn’t it Obamas policies of the last few years that you supposedly hate? Either people are insanely blind or they have no idea what comes out of their mouth.
Make no mistake, our Islamic enemies are cheering Obamas victory tonight. They are emboldened to carry out more fanatic acts of terror because they know Obama will not interfere for the next four years.
Markets are plunging today in reaction to the Obama victory. It is 11:30am and Dow is down 336.30 points at 12909.38 .
Here is a good presentation highlighting what happened at this election:-

The famous exorcist Bob Larson had some comments about the election at this link:-
http://boblarson.org/blog/2012/11/farewell-america/
I will quote some of it here:-
We all awoke today to a very different America. Four years ago some voters may not have known what they were getting. This time, they knew. By an Electoral College landslide, a minority of Americans elected the most liberal, anti-Christian candidate in our history. Say goodbye to most everything you have known about this country. Americans willfully put a man back in office to get us out of an economic mess, and he’s never even run a lemonade stand. Many times in this election cycle my children asked me who I thought would win. I told them repeatedly, Obama. My reasoning was that what matters most to most Americans is having their hand out and Uncle Sam filling it. Obama assured the voters constantly that he’d rob the rich to give freebies to the middle class. Even if that makes no economic sense, how could anyone win against that proposition?
By the time this Presidency is over, the Supreme Court will have turned anti-God for a generation. Millions more unborn babies will be killed with taxpayer funded abortions. Marriage will be redefined far beyond the gay/straight controversy. Israel will be thrown under the bus, and Iran will be emboldened. Islamic militants will terrorize with new intensity. Our national debit will make today seem like economic moderation. The liberal media will continue being the Fifth Column in the President’s pocket. Prepare your children. Their faith will need to be stronger than ours. They’ll see persecution we never thought imaginable.
America wanted a “king,” and they got one. But check out the warnings of 1 Samuel 8. The consequences of an imperial presidency are terrifying. After listing all the horrible consequences of an unjust ruler, the prophet Samuel concludes: He will take away the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his friends. He will take a tenth of your harvest and distribute it to his favorites. He will demand your slaves and the finest of your youth and will use your animals for his personal gain. He will demand a tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. 18 You will shed bitter tears because of this king. . . (1 Samuel 8:14-18 TLB). In modern English, tax, tax, tax. South Chicago politics writ large on a national scale.
Yesterday I listed four reasons Obama should lose: 1) his mocking, condescending attitude toward the opposition, 2) his coarse language directed at Romney, 3) the constant blaming of Bush, and 4) telling people to vote out of revenge. Romney in response took the high road. The low road won. And that says a lot about our social contract for the next four years.
We’ll never know what it would have been like to have a Mormon as President. We already know what it’s going to be like to have Obama in the White House, only now he doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected and can pursue his brand of socialism and humanism with a vengeance. (Remember, in his own words he wants “revenge.”) Now before you line up at the Australian consulate to apply for immigration there (or Canada, which would be my choice), remember what preachers have been reminding us for years: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chron. 7:14).
The Electoral College and the State of Ohio may have spoken, but the proverbial fat lady hasn’t sung yet. The church must recognize that this isn’t a President we can work with, and he can’t be accommodated. Don’t let any smiling preacher tell you otherwise. Obama fired the first shot across our bow (Obamacare contraception mandates), and war has been declared on Christians. Just keep in mind it is a spiritual war and our battle is against “principalities and powers.” The only way to hold off further disaster will be on our knees.
