If you read my blog enough, you’ll know that I love politics and even though as a Canadian I have no say in what the Americans do, I find their political system fascinating but freakishly scary. I don’t believe I’ve commented or at least not much on the 2012 presidential elections because frankly I knew President Obama would win again but with that said, it’s remarkable that a man like Mitt Romney who stands for nothing even had a chance!

The rest of the world was definitely thinking that Americans are nuts if they feel that Romney and the rest of the GOP are good alternatives, I mean handing the keys back to the group that created the mess the world is in, yeah that’s a good idea… Lower taxes and deregulation does not directly lead to economic growth and the trickle down effect is a total lie. You figure Americans would figure that out by now but I guess if you repeat a lie enough, people start to believe it…

Anyway I hope the President has an easier time pushing through his policies though the next two years will be difficult as the Democratic party doesn’t have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and the GOP holds the House. Let’s see what the future brings, hopefully some sanity for the world’s sake prevails.
