Participant[quote=flu][quote=flyer]Historically, I’ve been a very patriotic person, but, as someone mentioned in an article I read recently–beyond a “popularity contest,” I, too, never believed the outcome of this election will make much difference in the “real lives” of most Americans. I guess only time will tell.
As now, IMHO, in four more years, eight more years, twelve more years, etc., etc., I believe that 5% or less of the population will still hold the wealth in this country–so, looking at the financial realities of our country–I don’t really see how the “American Dream” will materialize for more people based upon any particular elected official.
Since most of us “Piggs” are in that 5%, I realize there could be some financial challenges imposed along the way, but nothing we can’t handle.[/quote]
Actually, I think during this time, it will be a great opportunity for the smart money to really milk this for all it is….We’re gonna be spending more and more money, no doubt. Smart people will get on the bandwagon and milk it like there is no tomorrow…
Time to buy more property.. Rates are gonna stay low, we’re gonna have more bailouts…It’s all good…Worry about our kid’s future later. If you have a nestegg established, who cares about everyone else’s kid that doesn’t… Their problem, not yours… You’re kidding yourself if you think most americans (democrats or republicans) really care anymore about the future…They want their HELOC loans back damnit now, so they can get into a BMW for $300/month! Did anyone notice the surge of new cars in SD recently? Good times are here again!
Frankly, I’m crossing the line and milk this… ….Stay tuned.
One thing for sure… If you got a lot of stock/stock options…This year’s the year to dump them lol…[/quote]
Agree, Flu and AN–Like you, I “milked” it long ago. That’s why we’re in the top 5%, and, I might add, very happy to be there!!
Since we’ve already done the property thing, etc., the “smart money” in our circle has been investing in movie deals–ever heard of “Harry Potter” and “Twilight?” That’s the direction we’ve been going over the past few years, with great results. The international “take” is especially sweeeeet!
I wish you the best with all of your new

ParticipantObama has a chance now for 8 full years to perform. There will be nowhere to hide, no former administration to blame if in 4 more years the economy is still a disaster and maybe 70 million are on food stamps by then?
And if the country is in good shape and the economy in good shape, incomes are rising, he can get credit where credit is due.

svelteParticipantThe big story isn’t Obama getting re-elected. Anyone paying attention should have known that for awhile.
The big story has to do with the states that legalized gay marriage and marijuana by popular vote!
Exciting times we live in, my friends. Exciting times.
Just when I give up on the voting masses, they come together and do things that make me smile.

Hi Brian, welcome back. You must be ecstatic.

ParticipantThe minority vote for Obama is quite impressive!
Blacks at 93%, Hispanics at 71%, and Asians at 73%.
The black vote is not much of a surprise, neither is the Hispanics given they are more working class, they are traditionally Dem, and they were under direct assault by the far right rhetoric. But the dramatic loss of the Asian vote, which is predominately upper-middle class is worth noting.
Remember, Asians use to be much more Republican leaning, with a mere 31% vote for Clinton and 55% for Bush Sr. How in the world did the GOP turn that completely around to 26% Romney and 73% Obama? Something for the GOP to think about.

ParticipantI’m sure happy with the results. Except for the death penalty. C’mon people, in CA we’re not actually putting people to death (I think the last execution was in 2006). We’re just holding them on death row with MUCH higher costs.

ParticipantHuge buy opportunity. The Stock Market historically LOVES it when we have a Democratic President and Republican Congress.

People realized DeMaio is a huge turd?
I’m not actually a big Filner fan. But DeMaio is just… slimy. -
