  1. I'm also happy with the result.

    But Obama's main politcal problem is still existing: the Rep. majority in the Senate. The Rep dominated Senate prevented all his sane politics not for the sake of the nation but with the intention to win the next presidency. This obstruction didn't pay well. Great.

    If the Reps don't change their habit Obama has the same problem like before: a brake on all sane politics, demonstarting the divide in the US populace.

    The democrats have been in the majority in the senate and will remain so. There is the issue of the republicans forcing 60 votes though.

    the democrats have had the majority in the senate for his first term--the democrats had the majority in the house of representatives for the first 2 years also----but in the election of 2010,the democrats retained the majority in the senate but lost the majority in the house

  2. Indeed as another poster noted there were some pretty glum export figures reported today - bear in mind exports account for 70% of GDP. The figures showed an 18% drop October year on year. Early next year that will probably be 30%. That's not going to be made up by tourism, and doesn't matter how many BGs go back in the paddy fields an increase in agri won't do either.

    Oddly enough the media are full of hyperbole on this, that and the other, but seem muted about this, the one, subject that should receive emphasis.

    Somebody correct me- but are we not in disaster territory?

    Just curious, if exports are 70% of GDP, tourism 8% what is the balance?

    stealing and scams :o
