A nice £1,666 for me after putting £5,000 on Obama to win at 1/3 on

No, it was 1/3.

Or 3/1 on.

Not 1/3 on, which would be the same as 3/1, as well as nonsensical.

If Donald Trump is angry, a man who just lives to make money, then maybe the right man for the job was actually voted in, well done Obama.

Well thank God for that. Had Romney won they would be bombing Iran next week.

Having seen how friends and ex-colleagues end up with virtually zero healthcare if they lose their jobs the fact "Obamacare" won't be being repealed is good for them. At least they will have some sort of cover.

Now Mitt Romney can go on his plane and ask to have his window open.

Obama had 4 years to turn round a mess that had been generations in the making. It was nowhere near enough time.

Cameron will be running this argument come the UK general election. Whisper it, but it may even get him a second stint as PM.

Balanced against £9k tuition fees? An end to EMA? Privatisation of the NHS? Cutting the 50p tax rate? Removing benefits from the most vulnerable? You really think so?
