Regardless of who wins, the President is not a dictator. He really does not have the power that is often ascribed to him.

Really? Obama acts like a dictator, signing laws without Congress, appointing Czars..........The king and his court. Meh.

I uploaded a program into the voting machines while I was voting this morning. It accesses all

quite simple. I'm probably voting at least once a minute.

such a thing. This is meant to be a humorous post. No goats

That's why he's been able to accomplish everything he "promised" he'd do, right?

Voter intimidation is real.
Just got back from a heavily Conservative precinct.
They confiscated my contraceptives and my bong pipe before they would let me in the booth.

I am willing to risk going into a booth and voting without a contraceptive but,
without my bong pipe? Seriously?

I WILL NOT be voting there again today!

He fulfilled the promises he intended to keep, like shoving Obamacare down our throats.

The other 2008 'promises' like cutting the deficit in half, having the most transparent administration in history, etc... have been proven to be what they always were: Lies.

No Republicans stopped him from acheiving his 'promises'. How could they? He had control of both houses of congress for his first two years.

The media may not hold him accountable for his failed 'promises', but voters remember what he said in 2008, and know what he has done.

My guess is the electoral college goes 315 - 223 for Romney. Sure, it could be much closer, but that's my best guess.

Guessing is all any of us can do at this point. Second guessing the President seems something we've done all our lives.

Raoul, DO take your votes elsewhere! Even in our heavily conservative Aridzona, they'd never treat you like that.

First indication of outcome not looking good for Romney, comes from the Hannity radio show.

Seems the announcer has been called in to work today to do a new series of recordings....

"The stop Obama Express, taking our Country back, day number one thousand, four hundred and sixty one..."

Frank, it's always easier to fire people than it is to "work smarter". Putting the blame on the other guy makes it easier for you to look in the mirror. We as a Country have gotten very good at this paradigm. Why don't you start thinking creatively?

- Jack
So all of the business owners/CEO's that have had to lay people off because of the increase in costs associated with Obamacare run their businesses "stupidly"? Jack's one of those people that think business owners are eeeeevvviiiillll people.

With that statement, it is obvious you know absolutely nothing about running a business.

I didn't say that, but senior class projects in the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona repeatedly show businesses, both large and small how they can improve their productivity and increase their bottom line. Those businesses are uniformly grateful in their response for this help. I'm sure the Industrial Engineering department at Georgia Tech has similar "outreach" capabilities. Why don't you investigate this? It doesn't have to cost you a dime and you'll have a non-prejudiced, outside look at your operation - from a top-tier university!

And Frank, I know nothing about your business, because I don't know what it is. I asked once, but you declined to respond. I sort of got the feeling you might be ashamed of it. Maybe that's the problem - you're too shy to promote it properly!

You are missing it, it is the "new paradigm" raise your rates to cover the additional expenses imposed by the government.
- If your customers can afford to use you anymore, was not considered in implementing this "new paradigm". That is in new paradigm version 2.0..

I am missing how "working smarter" is going to do anything to cover the increased expenses you are seeing.
- Guess working smarter is cracking the whip to get employees to turn out 9 hours of work in 6.5 hours ??? Who cares if the carpenters nail their leg to the wall from exhaustion..

Is there any examples of this ?

From what I have seen in one case as a passing case for an MBA project here in the metro area, the business plan was so flawed there is no way it would have worked in the real world.
- The guy even tried to get me involved in this new company, and the exit ( if things turned out as the plan indicated ) was to file bankruptcy and screw the vendors supplying the tower work and infrastructure.

This was from one of the more prominent university MBA programs in the metro area.

Taking business process advice from someone that has never run a business, sounds like a bad idea to me.

That is possibly true. The advice/approaches I'm referring to are manufacturing processes and the like, from our department of Systems and Industrial Engineering. We've worked with companies like Raytheon, Ventana Medical Systems, Rainbird, as well as some non-profits like Foodbank. This was all while I was still at the University, and that was more than 5 years ago.

I'm sorry I don't have any recent examples.
