This was ugly that dang GOP would have more votes when were they ever going too let the Dems have the floor SMH .
The thumping win upends the balance of power between the White House and Capitol Hill only six years after Obama’s Democrats swept to power and marginalized Republicans in a rush to reform health care, Wall Street and pass a huge stimulus package.
Now, it’s Democrats who will take the back seat on Capitol Hill, relying mostly on the power of the filibuster to stymie Republicans and keep Obama’s legacy intact.
“For too long, this administration has tried to tell the American people what is good for them and then blame somebody else when their policies didn’t work out,” Mitch McConnell, who is expected to become the next Senate majority leader, said in a victory speech.
Obama is expected to hold a news conference today at 2:30 p.m. in Washington.

That's a good question! Why, don't they just show some respect to the Commander in Chief and let him do is job. But, this is a game called "Politics." SMH

Everyday walks of life. Whether they like it or not they must face the reality that your president will always be the president until he finish his term. Haters will always be haters and they love to hate.

The real problem is he's a black man who made history in our homeland so it's been bitter sweet for him and the people who did see his vision of change for a people and America.

Of course we've been known too cast a stone or too but what's different here is that when here in America you will be judge by your skin and with Blacks it's been very hard in our history to just be left alone. A black person could call our former President a name but the level of disrespect President Obama has gotten has been down right rude and very upsetting. It's different Monalisa it's hateful he can't even run the country without that GOP group known as Republians keep saying NO to every single thing this man tires to do. It's a good old boys club as they say here. When he won the very first election and want'ed to run a second term these Republians got together somewhere private to make him a one term President but he did win even though they didn't want him or his family in The White House. Our history as a race of people has been very hurtful it happens with all men and women of color but African Americans just feel it more things are not always in our favor. We have to fight for almost anything we want but we have come along way but yet it's still sorry for saying this a white mans world. And President Obama has been the only man of color in nearly over 200 years to win as a black man and wear the seal first black President of these United States Of America and you can bet it will be another 2000 years before we see another person of color in The White House. That too me speaks volumes. Some white people NOT ALL would kill for NO reason at all just hang the men up like they were nothing. Lord our history of slavery hasn't changed much sure we can sit on the bus thanks inpart by Rosa Parks and Dr Martin Luther King but Monalisa we still have aloooooooooong fight still to gain RESPECT as a President or a School Teacher no matter what we do as a people they ( whites ) not all ( whites ) but enough to go around feel we shouldn't even be here and who are those to judge. C.......Hope what I said enlighted you Monalisa I know we live in a different culture so I hope that this might have made you understand just a little better how things got to this point between blacks and whites this is a very long history so I put in small views I could write a book and I didn't want to do that smile.

That image of black men hanging, smh, it's just so hurtful to know that things haven't really changed all that much. Racism will exist until Jesus comes back.

Thanks for the info Candy. I understand how hurtful it is. Not only African Americans suffers it but like us who live in your country but they continue to move forward. I have relatives who lives in San Diego and they keep on saying bullying and racism up to the highest level in your country. Sad
