You'll live. In fact, I think you will continue to live very well. "Rich guys with the best accountants" and all that. Other contributors here joking about employers firing Obama supporters this morning, and you already focusing on how to keep the divide in the country as harsh & vitriolic as possible. I think it's time to get down to the business at hand, Obama certainly did not establish a mandate last night... but we did repudiate the harsh Tea Party voices. Don't you get it? A candidate can't dismiss half the public as lazy & irresponsible, shift & contort himself to embrace both the Moderate & Extreme wings of the GOP, and blithely argue that we mainly need to protect the wealthiest among us. That dog won't hunt. Maybe if the GOP & the Tea Party would get a divorce, you would see a the moderate wing of the party gaining traction next time around....

It's time to come off the political rhetoric and look for ways to come to middle ground. Obama will need to make some tough decisions now, some of those will not sit well with his supporters. He'll have to accept the need to compromise, will you?
