Star you are one of my favorite commentators. Call me stupid but I really thought racism was over in America, not because Obama was elected but because of the idea of freedom. I see people who don't want to work but that is an American problem not a skin color problem. On Nov. 8, 2012 when I looked at the numbers of votes in Philadelphia (not 1 Mitt Romney vote), I woke up. I am sad, I now see things different. What a strange set back all because of the color of skin of the President of the United States of America. Racism comes in all colors.

Get a life. There were votes for Romney in Philadelphia, but no in some precincts. This is nothing unusual.

WHat's racist about that?

And just when did Romney say this?

If you're referring to the "47%" comment, this was precisely the OPPOSITE of what Romney meant.

Unless you mean that "struggling financially" applies to people who are "struggling" to get more government welfare.

Good grief.

Disbelief is the word that defines the Republican state of mind in the wake of the 2012 re-election of President Barack Obama.

The obvious questions are: “How can Americans have re-elected a president who has presided over an economy where unemployment still hovers at 8 percent ?”

And, “How can Americans have re-elected a president who still doesn’t grasp that his big government policies are what have blocked our economic recovery?”

The Republican Party needs to take responsibility for this disaster.

Nothing in the outcome of this election is a surprise. The realities which produced these election results have...
