What a sad day in American History. I believe we have just moved from a freedom-loving America to a Big-Brother America. I just can't believe that Americans are so naive and gullible that they believe this man will turn this economy around. With four more years of what I believe to be disingenuousness, America is headed down a fiscal and social cliff that it will be impossible to recover from. I believe the have nots will be in our pockets deeper than ever, senior citizens will be thrown under the bus when the full force of Obamacare hits, the military will be the weakest it has been in my lifetime, the U.N. will be running the world and trying to take our guns away, and we will be paying huge taxes for just about everything.

I believe our statesman and commander in chief projects a weak, placating front to the world. Our enemies will be emboldened, our allies will dither, and the world will become a more dangerous place. The stage is set for a bigger, wider war in the future most likely in the Middle East, America under Obama, will hesitate over aiding Israel, perhaps too long for the survival of that country.

I honestly thought Romeny's business background, set against the dismal economy, would sway the electorate to vote for him, but it did not. What a shame.

Yes, this depresses me a lot. I really fear for my grandchildren how this massive debt, and consequently, the weakining of our national secutity, will affect their lives.
