What now?
Revenge.
The right wing went for broke and they lay dashed against the rocks. This time liberals put the boot to the right wing's throat and KEEP it there!
He gave a very classy speech and I can only hope that it wasn't facetious. The future of our country depends on cooperation from the parties and all people in general..

Classy? He didn't even mention Obama's name once. Zero class from a two-faced liar.

Now we get to work changing America into the welfare state we clearly want it to be. It's better than freedom, evidently. But that's the beauty of democracy; we get the leaders we deserve.
Politicians had better start now writing their speeches on how we'll tame 2016's 20 trillion dollar deficit and fix the economy.
Congrats to the proggies, you had a good night. Now you can share which parts of the American economy should be federalized next.

Yes because clearly the Republican party from 2000-2008 had nothing to do with the economic mess we are in now.
Certainly both parties played huge roles in our economic collapse, the Pubbies every bit as much as the Dems. However - the party that believes in wealth confiscation and redistribution just won pretty handily, and demographics favors them. Already sixty percent of households get more from the federal government than they pay, Obamacare's just getting started, and Obama has four more years to do whatever he can do administratively. Once he legalizes illegals and can release his full assault on oil and coal - the bases of our economy - many more people are going to need help. Once we get card check and the bureaucracy starts really adding employer cost through Obamacare, any industry that can flee, will flee, leaving only those who must stay to be milked (such as big retailers) and those whose major business is government money. Both through an increasing lack of good jobs and from the empowering effect of government health care we're going to have many more people following their dreams of performance art or erotic pottery or whatever, and those people will mostly need (and get) government assistance. Just as the Republicans did with civil rights, the Democrats will either pull the Pubbies along or make them irrelevant.Yes because clearly the Republican party from 2000-2008 had nothing to do with the economic mess we are in now.

Welfare state's being optimistic.
I really hope we are still not in position to be arguing the effect of the Bush administration in 2016...hopefully this argument will become trite, even to dems, by then.
Letting the Bush tax cuts expire for the rich will do nothing to solve our economic problems. And the sooner we get out of Afghanistan, the better (btw...Dems supported both wars...especially Afghanistan).Hopefully, the House will let some of the Bush tax cuts for people who don't need them expire...
Then yeah I bet a lot of people would let the Bush years fade away.
Cutting taxes shortly after engaging in two wars.... (one of them based on a lie or extreme incompetence) yeah that worked well...
