Turns out Romney was between a Barack and a hard place.
<Zenith> but yeah as someone who has been towards the bottom and started clawing their way back up with the use of government aid
<Zenith> Obama winning is a really nice feeling
<Zenith> because without government aid I wouldn't be in college, or able to afford the laptop I'm typing on

Obama may be a better U.S. President than Romney but I think we would've been better off with Romney cause Unemployment is still close to 8% or higher, both candidates had no clear vision for this country in the next 4 years, Congress is still as polarized as it was when the Republicans took control of the House back in 2010, which means that by the time the Fiscal Cliff comes the U.S. Government will go over it to thrust our country back into a Recession by raising taxes on just about everything.
Then there's the upcoming confrontation with Iran in the Middle East soon and by sending military troops there would have a negative effect on the global economy as well as with the Euro Debt Crisis will result in the U.S. either going bankrupt or some kind of revolution takes place that could ignite the U.S. Government to declare martial law on it's own U.S. citizens. Obama's re-election is a sign that he needs to be more like FDR on how he helped fix the U.S. Economy in 8-10 years through creating more jobs however sadly I just don't see that especially with Obamacare still intact which does more harm than good.
I do think Obama's win could help the GOP compromise better with the rest of the Democrats in Congress but I just don't see that happening considering If you believe that the U.S. President has divided this country's demographics in terms of idealogy but not race itself. Instead we have Right Wing Republicans who are now declaring a revolution to throw Obama out of office and possibly start a Civil War the likes we haven't seen in over 150 years. If the Republicans hate Obama so much instead of starting a Government Uprising like in Egypt and Syria then why not just impeach him instead? This is America we aren't going to stoop ourselves into hating eachother like we are in some kind of dictatorship.

Well I guess I can quit my job and start suckin' on the government teat now. Free* money!
*Not really.

Glad to know that we at least got the lesser of two evils. America would've been screwed if Romney won.
I'm not upset. I don't like either candidates as much as I would like, but I think this is a good chance for Obama to get back on his feet. The last 4 years were a tough for everyone and a lot of problems are beginning to be cleared up. Can you finish the job, Barack?
I voted for Gary Johnson btw.

We might have been screwed If Romney won and honestly in this election there was no "lesser of two evils". One is in favor of socialism and the other in capitalism, this country is as good as heading towards European policies that have ruined other countries with high unemployment and high gas prices. Wanna pay $7-8 a gallon for gas like in the U.K. or in Germany? Heck I don't.
I'll have you know that when I went into the voting booth earlier today I know that I was making a really tough decision in my life, sure it wasn't the best decision but despite the odds I felt like my voice mattered. I knew that the likelihood of Obama winning the election was high but I was more disappointed of how the House and Senate is the exact same as it was before.
Even though I'm glad that the Election is finally over, I still fear for this country's future and it doesn't look too good to be honest with you. Obama's first 4 years was alright but could've been better I'll admit, heck the world weighed in on the Election and most favored Obama over Romney, which I'm not surprised but I still think that Romney would've made our economy alot stronger and get ourselves out of debt and reduce the deficit alot better.
