    He criticised our Olympic Games preparations saying they were poorly planned. Hmmm, Thanks Mitt, our Olympics went fine. How was your election campaign? I see Obama has been given another four years. Had he been white he would have got parole. I woke up this morning to some great news from across the pond. My annoying neighbours have put their house up for sale. Over $3 Billion was spent on the U.S. political campaigns to tell the Americans how good each party is with money and debt. Last result just in, 'Romney Holds Mordor' Obama had an average of 20,000 supporters at every rally, Whereas Romney averaged 15,000, But as we know there was a good reason for that. Romney's supporters were at work. We all wondered 'Who will lead the world's most powerful nation for the next 4 years?' My bet is Xi Jinping.

    You can tell you are not from USA. ALL adds told how bad the other guy is. I will not be buying any electronic devices as the president promised the cost of electricity will go up drastically. X| X|

      That's the thing that really annoys me about politics these days (maybe it was ever thus). No-one is prepared to try and say why they are any good anymore, just why the other guy is bad. No-one says elect me, I will do a good job, it is elect me I'll be less shit than he will.

          that's because about 50% of the people that vote are moochers. 40% are working their asses off to get ahead. 10% have enough money out of the country that it just doesn't matter any longer... heard at voting line in Atlanta, "I got's to vote to keep my check coming..." America is on it's way to a democracy, the thing most despised by the founding fathers.

            Sorry, Mike. Have to disagree. The vast majority of trade China does is with us. Industries see the writing on the wall though, and as people are wont to do, they are minimizing their risk by building factories in China to service the Chinese market. Having said that, as we continue to decline, China will have to come up with another plan to feed 1.2 billion people.

                It appears that decades of investment in public education has finally paid off for the Democrats. :-D

                  Gary Johnson's ads were actually him saying why he's right, instead of the usual attacks. Almost enough reason to vote for him in my opinion.

                    Obviously in the UK I know nothing about anyone apart from Obama and Romney, but someone I follow on Twitter was pushing Gary Johnson a lot. I know nothing other than his name though. The only other thing I knew from twitter is that the porn stars I follow wanted Measure B to force mandatory condom wearing to get defeated, but it didn't.

                      He was the Libertarian Party's candidate. Overall, I'd say my personal views are most inline with their party, but he clearly wasn't going to win so I instead used my vote against the major candidate I liked the least.

                        oops. :-O Actually, show me one time in history any country has paid it's debt. Ever. We're now monitizing the debt now, rapidly devaluing the currency. The good news is that most of our food is home grown or could be. The bad news is that we won't have the necessary cost effective energy to run the combines.
