The diversity at the Obama headquarters is so amazing. True representation of what America is now

 

[coolgraymemo]

Now is the time to troll other forums. Romney supporters are salty.

 

[cj863]

Almost ALL of the BS legislation the GOP tried to pass in Florida was turned down. God I love when the good conquers all.

Latino vote FTW!!! More voted for Obama than in '08

That's what's up.

Hate to bring it to race, but to think, we couldn't even vote 40 some odd years ago and now we have an African-American (partly) about to serve his SECOND term as PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. of A.
Incredible. People died for our right to vote. Great victory indeed. King, X, Douglas, all the great avatars of history would be so proud of how far our country has came.
Back to today, it's going to be real hard for the Republican party to rebound from this. They have lost my generation (I'm 20. The 18-29 year olds) for the rest of our lives. Not ONE person I knew anywhere near my age voted for Romney, and the youth in 08 didn't go with the republicans either.
Romney like McCain, lost the Youth vote by 30 points and that number is just growing with each year. Social media plays a huge factor in this because the only people who have social media is the youth, and all the youth talk about is how "bad" the republicans are and if you are on social media, you notice that in the last election and this election, it has become cool to vote. This directly affects the Republican party and that number will just continue to grow.
The only way that deficit can even begin to shorten for the GOP is if they become a bit more liberal. The GOP's greatest fears are becoming a reality: Minorities, and the Youth are using their power and their right to exercise their voice, and none of those voices sound republican.

nicely said. It's going to be interesting to see what they can come up with in the next 4 years.

So much truth, just seeing the progression we have made is truly inspiring.

I hope our ancestors who fought for a day like this are smiling down on us now!

So while watching Fox News tonight I decided to look around for what exactly Fox News viewers actually believe. Enjoy.
LINK
For years the left-wing has been saying that Fox News viewers are “uneducated” or “misinformed”, but now a study has come out that might confirm those suspicions.
According to a new survey of Fox News viewers by Reuters, this is what Fox News viewers believe:
67% Believe Barack Obama’s name sounds suspicious.
45% Believe that homosexuals are polygamists
2% Believe that science is more important than faith
90% Believe that all of the Founding Fathers were born in the United States of America, even though it had not yet been created when the Founding Fathers were born.
56% Believe Sarah Palin went to an Ivy League Law school.
99% of Fox News viewers who were Medicare recipients said they opposed “socialized medicine.”
94% Believe Reagan lowered the National Debt.
15% Believe that George Washington defeated the King of England in a duel for America.
88% Believe that Bill Clinton failed as a President, because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
75% Believe that people on welfare are lazy.
24% Believe Santa Claus is real.
36% Believe the “Bill of Rights” is legislation introduced by the Republican Party to stop “Barack Obama’s socialist agenda.”
99% Believe that communism, socialism, fascism and tyranny are all the same.
70% Believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya
38% Believe Barack Obama was born in Indonesia
85% Don’t think Hawaii was even a state when Barack Obama was born
76% Believe Sarah Palin has an “Alaskan accent.”
92% Believe that Bill Clinton left Barack Obama with a surplus, which he spent.
96% Believe the economy was doing great when Barack Obama took office.
84% Believe the Tea Party is a grassroots movement without any corporate sponsorship.
94% Believe the Constitution mentions Jesus Christ as America’s savior.
23% Believe FEMA is building concentration camps.
63% Believe Glenn Beck is a healthy weight
37% Believe Nancy Pelosi is a witch, and that she can cast spells.
25% Believe Anthony Weiner’s resignation was good for the economy.
74% Believe that unemployment is higher now than it was during the Great Depression.
92% Couldn’t find Iraq on a map.
9% Believe that homosexuals are trying to take over America with glitter.
93% Couldn’t name the 7 continents.
12% Believe John Quincy Adams was a Founding Father.
99% Believe that the Government doesn’t create jobs, but 95% of those surveyed credit Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) with creating 1 million jobs as Governor of Texas.
While some of these might seem comical, the most shocking result from the study was this:
100% of Fox News viewers said they wouldn’t care if the entire country fell apart as long as Barack Obama isn’t elected to a second term.
Also this...
Another study has concluded that people who only watch Fox News are less informed than all other news consumers.
Researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University updated a study they had conducted in late 2011. That study only sampled respondents from New Jersey, where the university is located. This time, the researchers conducted a nationwide poll.
The poll asked questions about international news (Iran, Egypt, Syria and Greece were included) and domestic affairs (Republican primaries, Congress, unemployment and the Keystone XL pipeline.)
The pollsters found that people were usually able to answer 1.8 out of 4 questions on foreign news, and 1.6 of 5 questions on domestic news, and that people who don't watch any news were able to get 1.22 of the questions on domestic policy right.
As the study explained, though, people who watched only Fox News fared worse:
Other networks also did badly in some sections; MSNBC viewers and Fox News viewers both fared worse in answering international questions than people who watched no news.
People who only listened to NPR or watched Sunday morning talk shows or "The Daily Show" did the best in the study.

Obama or Romney.

We're all losing as an economy

This country is already in a hole.

The only real winner here is Obama because he get to make history
