The election is over.

I am so happy the election is over. The attack adds are horrible. Why can't political candidates be for something instead of against. The Republicans now hold a majority in both houses of congress. The question is can they get anything done; or will the President set new records for veto legislation?

President Obama's approval rating is low, 41.8%. But the question is why? The stock market has set records. Oil prices are falling. Unemployment is at a 6 year low; 32% lower than when Obama took office. Troops are home from Iraq and Afghanistan where G. W. Bush sent them. We have affordable healthcare; something that most of the EU has had for decades. I believe that history, and not the Republicans, will be look on the Obama presidency as one of the most progressive since FDR's.

McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission coupled with many voters being swayed by political advertising has changed the complexion of the government of the USA. I don't believe that history will be as kind to the Roberts court as the Obama administration. It may be time to think about relocating to Belize or Costa Rica.
