"The bad news is that it looks as though Obama is going to win. The good news is that it looks as though Romney is going to lose.
As I commented a few elections back, the problem with electing a Republican is that he does about the same bad things the Democrat would have done, with about the same bad consequences—for which we, people who believe in the free markets he pretends to believe in, get blamed."
From the comments:
Objectionable things about Obama (and I'm not a Republican):
1. Sharply increased government spending.
2. Ran an enormous deficit--for a while, almost fifty cents of every dollar spent was borrowed.
3. Makes heavy and routinely dishonest use of rich vs poor rhetoric, implying that rich pay federal income tax at a lower rate than others when in fact they pay at a higher rate.
4. Said his people would leave medical marijuana providers alone, and has been trying harder than his predecessors to suppress them.
5. Objected to various civil liberties offenses by Bush, and has not merely continued but expanded them.

Obama: Doing everything Bush did; but bigger, badder and worse.
I'll add #6: Said he'd bring down unemployment and cut the deficit.

Quick word on the "intransigence of the GOP" preventing Obama from achieving his goals and objectives.
Well, isn't being able to work and deal with the opposition a key measure of how we judge great Presidents?
