Obama fans at UO: 'I think we're pretty stoked'
EUGENE, Ore. - All eyes were glued to TVs and computers Tuesday night at the University of Oregon election watch party.
The celebrations started quickly after President Obama was announced the projected winner of the presidential race.
"Everyone's happy, everyone's cheering and I don't know, I think we're pretty stoked and we're going to be sleeping pretty soundly tonight," said Obama supporter Joyanna Devos.
"Just all he stands for means so much to me and it's just so awesome to be here and get reelected," said Casey Edwards.
On the other side of campus, feelings were mixed on the president's win and the next four years.
"I don't think they'll be terrible, but I wish for a different result," said Romney supporter Donna Cahill. "But I mean what can you do, everyone votes, everyone has their opinion and everyone, it's what's best for the country, you know?"
Campaign watchers call this a status quo election: the presidency and control of the House and Senate remain unchanged from two years ago.
"I am pretty happy because I think not having all this kind of turnover right now is going to be working for the economy," said Obama supporter Daniel Smith. "I think we kind of need the consistency."
Obama supporters are all brain dead. They were dumbed down in school. I fear our country is finished.Â
Maybe mon and dad will have to pull in the purse strings now and they won't be able to afford there little know it all's to go to college anymore. They been brain washed thru there whole education since first grade, and now what are they going to do with that over priced schooling, move back home with mommy and daddy I guess. One thing the forgot to teach them was common sense, and without it there education isn't worth a darn!
These UofO students may not be so "Stoked" when they graduate and the job market is still in the tank. Common sense tells us that Socialist policies might make you feel all warm and fuzzy but know where on earth have people ever prospered under it. 4 more years of grid lock in congress 149 executive orders to date with many more to come, our healthcare nationalized, energy cost sky rocketing,unemployment will remain above 8%,housing market will not come back, more troops left to die in foreign lands and then he'll hand the reigns off to Clinton! We get exactly what we deserve!
Must be time to burn it down and start over, pulled my money out of the market already fearing this, I expect the middle class and retired folks to take a big hit tomorrow, the markets will sell off, I can only hope the Republicans have the resolve to bankrupt the country, with 47% of the citizens as parasites, they need to harvest what they sow. When the poors money is worthless, they might understand what they done, but then again, you can't fix stupidÂ
