Look...
If I'm going to be happy about this then he'd better start doing what's necessary to bring this country back. Not just legislation about abortion or environmental levies.
The economy is in SHAMBLES.
And here's my major problems...
-At the moment the United States is no longer considered in terms of planetary statistics as being in the top twelve first world countries in terms of the economy, jobs, housing, resources, health of it's citizens, general happiness...anything.
This might seem like good enough to Obama, but it seems way less to me.
-Obama has no clear way to fix the problem of the national debt. His proposition to fill in the gap by taxing rich people more doesn't make up for the problem that he, provably more then any other president in history, uses more money then he has to buy things the country sees no benefit from. The Clean Energy companies he's invested in have either gotten into scandals or gone bankrupt. His stimulus plan made no notable increase in hirings, payment, or national wellbeing. This isn't just Right Wing propaganda, this is fact supported by the hard evidence of a continued depression.
-Payment for jobs has dropped because companies are starting to find it impossible to compensate employees and stay in business. According to Obama the solution to this is...to make running businesses more expensive through regulations and still higher taxes? He's also a firm supporter of unions which leads to hiked minimum wages and free vacations and benefits. The money to make all this happen has to come from somewhere or, lo, the business collapses.
Ever wonder why there's so many long running businesses like Miramax and Poleroid filing for bankruptcy? Ever wonder why there's so many unsold houses and small businesses for lease?
Don't worry. Neither does the president.
-Obamacare, even in the official model on Obama's website, will bankrupt the country and fail in a few years time. What can prevent this? Billions of dollars paid by 'the rich'. But how many rich people do you imagine will be around if you drive businesses out of business? His plan is dependent upon people miraculously staying wealthy despite their businesses collapsing and their tax rates increasing.
How are companies supposed to pay for REQUIRED healthcare benefits?
Will the government fit the bill?
Then guess what this leads to. More debt.
And how long before we really do end up like Greece, when Germany decides United State's promises to pay their debt is so much talk?
So...what benefit do we get for having Obama back in office?
-Illegal immigrants can now come here basically at will.
-Abortion will likely be legalized and government funded.
-More funds will be diverted to clean energy companies.
-Taxes will raise on everybody.
So all that might sound fantastic, but how does that tie into the major difficulty of an ongoing depression? All of these 'benefits' involve fewer jobs and more government spending except for the taxes one and that seems increasingly silly as the debt mounts and the economy flounders.
We KNOW what his plan was.
It didn't work. It won't work unless somehow he produces billions of dollars from nowhere and maybe even The One is incapable of such things.
So call me a sore loser. I'm perfectly happy to have Obama in charge if he, you know, actually had a plan to fix the problems he made worse or created last time.
Tell me supporters: what is he going to do to make things better?
Or are things perfect now and I just don't see it?
Or does just having him in the chair mean he'll make things better...THIS time...?

Tired 
Think before you vote guys.
thanks for making this journal, it speaks many things I would like to beat into people's skulls.
Companies are given the choice to "Pay or Play". If they play, they provide insurance to their employees- which of course is a rather large cost. Especially for a company that pays a large portion of the ins fees (self-funded insurance)...this is what my company does.
Now, "Pay" of course refers to paying increased taxes (but what could be less for the company than providing ins) and sending employees to deal with state funded programs which cover less and at a higher cost to the consumer. They estimated that for the average joe with no dependents it could mean an additional $3k out of their pay. And for someone with a family, upwards of $13k extra. These are not necessarily the "rich" mind you, I'm talking Middle-class. That's a lot of money.
Now for companies that give a damn about their employees, they're obviously going to hold on as long as they can. BUT if their competitors go towards the Pay option and prosper...well, they're going to start worry about making a profit and go the same route. Employees be damned.
Now, I do like some of the aspects... Such as the changes regarding pre-existing condition discrimination. Parents being able to cover their children through 26 (although, I thought there was something that went through prior to obamacare about that..)
However, the pro doesn't really outweigh the cons.
It was put that simply to me, so I thought I'd share that tidbit.
-Republicans still hold Congress
-Paul Ryan still has his seat and might run for the Republican ticket next time
-This will energize the Tea Party further
-If the country collapses, I can say "Don't blame me, I voted for Romney"
And aside from his unconstitutional Obamacare, wreckless spending, increased national debt, and tax increases Obama has gotten us into another illegal war when he got us involved in the Libyan Civil War. He also signed into law the National Defense Authority Act, which is basically the Patriot Act on steroids. He has refused to enforce our immigration laws and has attempted to sue Arizona for doing so on Mexico's behalf; which is a violation of the Constitution. And probably the biggest of them all is the Fast and Furious gun running scandal as Benghazi scandal.
But there is some good that came out of the Obama Administration: the states have begun to rediscover their long forgotten power to keep the federal government from incroaching on the rights of their citizens by nullifying federal laws that they deem unconstitution. For one thing several states have nullified Obamacare and the NDAA along with other federal regulatory acts and laws. It's also caused alot of people to consider voting for third party candidate instead of the traditional two-party system.
I did find it painfully amusing he deliberately suspended the regulations so that he wouldn't look bad
When I got together with my then-girlfriend, we had to decide whether she was coming to the US, or I was going to Canada. Sorry to say, Canada is now (and likely, always was) the better place (if mostly due to the Lack of population). Now, I am thinking it is a good idea to get all of my finances Out of the US, even if I have to sneak them out a bit at a time over the next ten years.
