Sorry you were triggered, OE. I was triggered, as well. We both posted about it.

We just have different POVs and see things differently.

And I do not know what you are referring to when you write about revenge and voting out of revenge.

Well, then you missed Obama's speach before election day telling voters to "vote out of revenge". And Romney's reply to that statement that we do not "vote for revenge", we vote for "love of country".

Rose, you and I are friends, and I respect your decision to support Obama.

I could not get past his last "revenge" advice, that is not "patriotic" to me. And, I do not like the partisan way he works in government. If we are going to make any headway, that just has to change.

Big government is "expensive" and sure, we want "stuff". Hey, I would like a big house, and get my front porch, I like stuff too, but lots of people "like stuff" and did the "big credit" to have their "stuff" and it lead to ruin. Have we not learned from this? We seem to not have because as a country we still want "stuff" and are in so much debt and are heading for, if not already, a bankrupt country.

So next year, though we are struggling, we will have to either get insurance or be forced to have Obama care. Well, we don't have that extra $3,500 plus to do that. We are "self employed" and hanging on by a thread as it is.

Since my neighbor put us into debt, ruined my credit, and destroyed the animals I use, one was used for our health care expense every year, we have been without insurance.

Now, gas is expensive, and people want me to charge less to drive further away because of who can afford to even hire me now. As "small business owners" Obama's plan the past four years has made it very hard on us. I used to be able to "pay for help", can't do that now, now I do everything myself, and I am always behind.

I hope you feel better. And I am really glad you are watching your finances and pulled your money if that makes you feel safe(r). That is the most important thing.

No, my husband did not do what I asked about switching our investments until "after" the election. Hopefully, the Market will get over the "perceived" disappointment about how this election turned out.
