Capital accrued
- Killed Bin Laden
- Intervened successfully in Libya to help end despot's rein (think a Republican would do that?)
- Managed not to phuck up the Middle East while it went through Arab Spring
- Ended two wars and refocused our military on spec ops and counter-terrorism (read "drones") - which is our actual war
- Protected the Nation from terrorism
- Prevented the economy from slipping into Depression!
- Saved Detroit (and millions of associated jobs)... jobs saved >= jobs added (higher wage scale)
- Redirected our nation toward single-payer health system (coming to a town near you in the second term)
- Started the rhetorical shift toward re-regulating the loonies on the Street
- Romney has given Obama so much leverage: Writing off 47% of Americans, tenure at Bain Capital cannibalizing companies, tax havens abroad, clearly of/by/for the wealthiest class, history of intolerance (gay-basher in HS), would end Sasame Street (actually says SO much about his attitude), and plenty more

Looking forward
- Obama will have articulate new champions in the Senate (May I introduce Elizabeth Warren) who aren't afraid to tango with the big boys
- He MAY have a more cooperative Congress, if Americans finally ditch their flirtation with extremist Teabaggers, as Republican leadership seeks to regain some semblance of professional pride and attempt to restore their chances at winning the White House in 2016
- The economic cycle will swing more favorably in the second term (growth is imminent, signs are everywhere, DOW almost back to peak, HUGE pent up capital reserves and demand for new capital equipment, R&D investment, services)
- Massive grassroots organizing aimed at Constitutional Amendment to end Citizen's United permanently
- Welcome back Glass-Steagall in the second term.
- New investments in smart-grid and alternative energy likely to pay-off during second term: Many changes in solar, wind, tidal and fuel cell will start to decentralize power generation.
- New investments in infrastructure (bridge repair, grid, schools, light-transport) will set the table for an extended period of growth

The fat lady hasn't even started to warm up her voice yet. This ain't even close to "over". Sit back, BRIGGS. Don't worry so much.

Drinking the kool aid for 4 years has at least kept you hydrated.

I'm not voting for Romney by the way, but this thread says everything that makes me glad I'm not a liberal.

Not for nothing but what have the Republicans done for this country except get us into unnecessary wars, profiteering, raise the debt, lower our standing in the world, almost destroy the world economy... How anyone can be a Republican after all the damage they've done is beyond me. There's nothing wrong with being a conservative, but the Republican party is merely a rouse. It's big business tricking average Americans to vote against their own interests. They use the conservative movement to push their big business ideals on the country. last 30 yrs the middle class has been decimated as the corporations have prospered like the Gilded Age Robber Barons.

Tell me again about TARP funds, Mr. Social Leveler? Tell me again how unemployment's been almost unfazed for four years while the stock market's back to high levels again, and tell me about how Democratic liberalism is all about "real, average Americans".

What flavor is that blue Kool Aid, anyway?

Talk to me about how the Democrats have had such a tremendous impact on the ecomomy in the last 60 years. Tell me a story about the Great Society...how'd that work out for you? Jimmy Carter, Billy Clinton and the fabulous dot com bubble.

Tell me about how the shining Democratic liberalism helped to topple the USSR. Tell me how people like Lech Walesa are going to thrive and survive in the great socialist state your current POTUS has wet dreams about?

1 poor debate for Prez Obama but there are other days to go & we accept his honesty
But at same time realize he is like real people , which is showing he is far from mistakes
Or to er'r is human.

All in all honesty cant be counted on from Brick Bombney or whichever his name is.

As a former long time govt fed worker all i can say as far as govt military if Romney wins
The govt will be in huge trouble as far as armed forces. Call it operation send troops out of
Usa in tons again to be killed for the right winger"s personal needs! & rich corp honchos interests.

Many will war again from usa n lives lost at expenses of Romney administration.
Write that one! In stone comin loud n clear.

No one has said that Republicans have never done anything, but overall people in the US have done better under Democratic Presidents. This is an irrefutable fact. The last 2 Republican Presidents vs. the last 2 Democratic Presidents really are the most relevant IMO. Obama had to climb up out of the huge hole that Bush left or it would be an even bigger lead.

Republicans

Richard Nixon: Increase of 7.1 million jobs
Gerald Ford: Increase of 1.3 million jobs
Ronald Reagan: Increase of 14.7 million jobs
George H.W. Bush: Increase of 1.5 million jobs
George W. Bush: Decline of 646,000 jobs

Total: Increase of 23.9 million jobs under Republican presidents

Democrats

John F. Kennedy: Increase of 2.7 million jobs
Lyndon B. Johnson: Increase of 9.5 million jobs
Jimmy Carter: Increase of 9.0 million jobs
Bill Clinton: Increase of 20.8 million jobs
Barack Obama: Increase of 332,000 jobs

Total: Increase of 42.3 million jobs.

The deep hole Bush left Obama and what he did to fix it with the Republicans trying their best to put a stop to everything he did to fix the mess!

Americans make more money under Democrats too!!!

I would say that voting Republican means you're voting against your own best interests, unless you're Mitt or one of his rich friends of course
