    I have to admit, I was pretty confident reading into polls, statistics, and election history about this election. I was slightly apprehensive about my confidence because I had never experienced an incumbent opponent election personally. I guess I drank the kool-aid, who knows. Been thinking about this election quite a bit. I have to be honest, sat here in my office for the first hour and really didn't do shit, just stared at the keyboard and paperwork contemplating. I find it sobering because I know I'm not only working hard to support myself, but my future is to support other people not willing to work as hard as me. That is really difficult (for me) to deal with, because I don't see any efforts in the government to change this. I hope this isn't our fate. I hope a lot of others feel the same way with where we are as a country, and I sincerely hope the consequences of the choices the majority made yesterday are not too much to overcome.

    Heck yeah. My Dad has always been big on Kind Airs, but I have always loved Pilatus aircraft in that price range.

    Exactly. And this was said - the owners will not scale back, they will scale their employees back. I've had discussions with people that are wanting to invest, wanting to grow and had planned to based on Romney winning that will now hold the cash, ship it off shore, plan an exit, etc. Tax revenues will fall.
    Yep. We had a record year all because people that have been holding onto their toy money felt like there was no way Obama could stay in office.

    Today we are deadnuts slow. We've had three customers.

    It would have boded much better for business. There is zero surprise that businesses have been holding cash, waiting to invest, build, expand, etc. That just got delayed by 4 years. Expansion only happens now as it is forced, not necessarily on speculation of growth.

    Did I really care for Romney? No. His changing views, positions and lack of passion didn't do it for me. I cast a vote against Obama, not for Romney. Had the republicans had a passionate, principled candidate, I think they would have kicked ass. The numbers show that both parties were not thrilled.

    I wouldn't, either way.

    quit taking this shit so serious anyways, politics and religion go hand in hand... full of BS!
    Except that politics has an effect on all aspects of my life. My job, my income, my freedoms, my lifestyle, etc all ebb and flow with the political atmosphere of this country. Fuck it though, I am out.

    I can't help but wonder if Herman Cain would have been the GOP representative how things would have played out. The race issue would be gone. (No I did not want Cain anymore than I wanted Romney in the office but either would be better than the Muslim in Chief)
