Well, I'm glad Obama won. I'm not naive enough to think that my taxes won't go up. I'm sure they will. However, I'd rather pay higher taxes under Obama than under Romney. I think Romney would have reverted to the old ways of Reagan and the Bushes. I think that's what got us into the economic mess to begin with. Maybe I'm wrong, but time will tell.
Some folks from the Republican party are wondering "What happened?"
Well, they are obviously out of touch with the current US. The minorities ( blacks and hispanics) are a noteworthy force today. The US has always been a nation of immigrants. Those immigrants have note always been welcomed. There was a lot of prejudice against the Germans, Polish, Irish and Italians when they immigrated in large numbers. They also brought about changes in our culture.
I think the Republicans have to face the fact that the US population is a dynamic thing. It changes and will keep changing. The ideas and values change as well. And that is how it should be!
