Bush won 4 years ago with 768 votes and called it a "mandate"...Obama wins by 40,000,000
and its just a win. WTF?

At the time, Bush insisted he had a mandate that gave him Political License to do whatever he wanted...stuff like change our Social security and reduce regulations for the environment/etc. He even mentioned going back to the moon...it was all BS Crap.

Obama got his hands full ...agenda is loaded with priority shit....can he do it???

I say we gatta support his Team all we can.....

2. Republicans have natural immmunity to congnitive dissonance
Its what makes them such effective liars. Any time I make an argument that contradicts itself my brain hurts and I admit I've lost.
