This is what I respect about the left.

When the right came out of the darkness in 94 it was: "Don't worry, we'll share power".

When the left gains power: "Shut the fuck up. We won."

Regarding the numbers: O man won with about 62,610,000 votes. Current population est. by Census Bureau's end of 2011 was approximately 312,000,000. Thatâs almost 250 million people who didn't vote for him. He won with about 20% of the total population. Mitt Romney had about 59,133,398 votes for him. O man won by approximately 3.5 million votes out of a total population of 312,000,000.

I would say you can tell the 190 million who didn't vote to man up. Those who voted against O man didn't lose by much, and certainly have a right to bitch, including myself. On the other hand, if the other 190 mil have a problem with the result, well let's just say they had the right to be stupid. They stayed home. I hope they are happy with the result.

Quote from CaptainObvious:

While we're on the subject of stupid, take a look at this. Beyond the obvious scare tactic and the supreme idiocy of releasing criminals back on to the streets, why are we paying over a thousand dollars a week to warehouse illegals waiting deportation? I'll bet we can find many a truck driver that will haul them back to Mexico for a one time charge of 500 bucks a head.

WASHINGTON (AP) â A week before mandatory budget cuts go into effect across the government, the Department of Homeland Security has started releasing illegal immigrants being held in immigration jails across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Tuesday.

Gillian Christensen, an ICE spokeswoman, said ICE has reviewed "several hundred cases" of immigrants being held in jails around the country and released them in the last week. They have been "placed on an appropriate, more cost-effective form of supervised release," she said.

Christensen said the agency's "priority for detention remains on serious criminal offenders and other individuals who pose a significant threat to public safety." She did not say how released immigrants were selected or what jails they were released from.

Tuesday's announcement of jail releases is the first tangible impact of the looming budget cuts for DHS.

The Obama administration has been issuing dire warnings about the impact of the sequestration and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters at the White House Monday that across-the-board cuts would impact the department's core operations, including border security and airport screening operations.

She also warned that DHS might not be able to afford to keep the 34,000 immigration jail beds mandated by Congress.

"I don't think we can maintain the same level of security at all places around the country with sequester as without sequester," said Napolitano, adding that the impact would be "'like a rolling ball. It will keep growing."

According to the National Immigration Forum, it costs the government about $164 a day to keep an illegal immigrant facing deportation jailed. In a report on immigration detention costs last year the advocacy group said costs for supervised release can range from about 30 cents to $14 a day.
