What are you thanking for? How is 4 more years with a tepid economic recovery faced with sequestration and tax increases on January 1 2013 going to personally help you?!

You backwoods savages need to stop hating on the gays and follow the leadership of France.

French President François Hollande's cabinet on Wednesday adopted a draft law authorising gay marriage and adoption on Wednesday. Polls suggest up to two-thirds of French voters back gay marriage but are divided on the issue of adoption.

France's Socialist government Wednesday adopted a draft law to authorise gay marriage and adoption despite fierce opposition from the Roman Catholic Church and the right-wing opposition.

President Francois Hollande, who made the issue a key part of his electoral platform, told a cabinet meeting the move was "not only a step forward for some but for all of society," government spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said.

The proposed legislation "resolutely takes into account the greater interest of the child," he said, Vallaud-Belkacem added.

"This is an important step towards the equality of rights," said Minister of Family Affairs Dominique Bertinnoti.

Bertinnoti rejected criticism that the move would "destroy" the family, saying: "On the contrary it is a legal protection."

It now has to be voted through parliament before becoming law: Hollande has promised that it will be on the statute books by mid-2013.

You ever drive by a Home Depot parking lot early in the morning? There's TONS of "tradesmen" willing to work for cheap!

All you have to do is load 5-7 of them into the back of your pickup...wing through Mickey D's and buy them a sack of dollar burgers to eat...explain with hand gestures and pictures what you want them to do and at the end of the day if you don't want to pay them...just have a friend drive up to the site with a t-shirt that says in big block letters "ICE"...they'll run for the border!

I smiled as I saw the simple minded minions waving little flags and happily dancing last night as though they were going to gush with flowers and candy canes. Ahhhhhhh, does the heart good to see naivete & innocence thriving.

I understand the vitriol in here. I felt the very same way that a bunch of morons voted bush back in knowing what a POS he was because somehow the other guy was going to be worse (arguably not possible). Same thing happened here. It just sucks when the shoe is on the other foot and it is much more tragic.....

Here I lie
In a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown

Going home
I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holdin' you, holdin' you
Lovin' you, lovin' you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you you're going nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're going nowhere

Night and day
There's a burnin' down inside of me
Oh, burnin' love
With a yearnin' that won't let me be

Down I go
And I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holdin' you, holdin' you
Lovin' you, lovin' you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're going nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're going nowhere

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're going nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and your heart goes by
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're going nowhere

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're going nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and your heart goes by

I don't like some of Obama's policies (I really don't like Obamacare) but the country has not imploded and those that are convinced he is personally to blame for their hardships perhaps need to reflect a bit on what may have actually caused it.

Easier to blame a president for a lost job than yourself.

Many Voters Still Blame Bush for Bad Economy

Rising prices and chronic unemployment were heavy on the minds of voters Tuesday even as a glimmer of optimism peeked through. Four in 10 said the nation's battered economy is getting better.

Most everyone agreed there's still far to go. They were less likely to blame President Barack Obama for the economic troubles, however, than to point the finger at his predecessor, George W. Bush, according to preliminary results of a national exit poll.

Only a fourth thought they were better off financially than four years ago when Obama was elected. Voters were most likely to say their families were doing about the same. A third felt worse off.

The survey of voters as they left polling places showed 6 in 10 ranked the economy the top issue, far ahead of health care, the federal budget deficit or foreign policy. The majority who don't yet see economic improvement were roughly divided over whether things were getting even worse or just stuck in place.

About 4 in 10 blamed Obama for the nation's economic woes.

Joseph Neat, a stay-at-home father in Hagerstown, Md., said he voted for Republican Mitt Romney because Obama hasn't solved the problems hurting families like his, especially gasoline prices that he called "insane."

"We don't have time for him to make changes. We need the changes now," Neat said of Obama. "And four years is plenty of time."

Three-fourths of voters said the economy is poor or not so good. But many like William Mullins of Lansing, Mich., felt Obama inherited the problems.

"Obama had a lot to deal with when he came to office," Mullins said. "You can't change everything overnight."

They pointed to years of high unemployment and rising prices as the biggest troubles for people like them; those two worries far outstripped concerns about the housing market or taxes in the exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks.

Only a quarter of voters were feeling enthusiastic about Obama's administration; about as many said they're angry about it.

About half said government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals, a point hammered by Romney throughout the campaign. Only 4 in 10 wanted government to do more.

"I haven't had a raise in two years because of Obama's anti-business policies," said Ken Keller, a Schaumburg, Ill., engineer who voted for Romney.

But voters were more likely to say Obama stands for the middle class or the poor. The Obama campaign's insistence that the multimillionaire Romney would do more for well-heeled Americans seems to have taken hold in voters' minds.

Half of voters said they think the former Massachusetts governor's policies generally favor the rich and barely any thought he favors the poor.

"I don't think Romney understands people who are down and out," said Cari Herling, an insurance analyst from Sun Prairie, Wis.

In contrast, only about 1 in 10 said Obama, who has pushed higher taxes for the wealthy, favors rich Americans. About half of voters said taxes should be raised on income over $250,000 per year.

For Obama, the biggest group — 4 in 10 — said his policies help the middle class, with the poor coming in a close second.

Voters tended to think the U.S. economic system as a whole generally favors the wealthy.

Nearly two-thirds of voters said they thought illegal immigrants working in the United States should be offered a chance to apply for legal status, instead of being deported.

In a race that's been neck-and-neck for months, about 1 in 10 voters said they'd only settled on their presidential choice within the last few days or even on Election Day.

The survey of 19,728 voters was conducted for the AP and the television networks by Edison Research. This includes preliminary results from interviews conducted as voters left a random sample of 350 precincts nationally Tuesday, as well as 4,389 who voted early or absentee and were interviewed by landline or cellular telephone from Oct. 29 through Nov. 4. Results for the full sample were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 2 percentage points; it is higher for subgroups.
