Almost positive I saw someone wearing a Bonnaroo shirt in the crowd for Obama before he gave his acceptance speech. The person was in the background but their shirt appeared to read "bonn" in the Roo font before the rest of the shirt was cut off by the screen.
So happy to see that the marriage amendment was voted down in Minnesota.
I saw that too but it wasn't. I forget what it said but I remember it broke my heart a little that it wasn't a roo shirt
Another thing...given that stock market gloom & doom thing, here's why the equities indices are trading down:
1) Recognition that we're in for another divided Congress and subsequent economic chilling effect, particularly as it pertains to the fiscal cliff, 2) The European Commission reporting a weak forecast for 2013, and 3) Self-fulfilling prophecy...people/institutions who are concerned Obama's going to drag down stocks are themselves dragging them down by dumping them. 4) There's also probably some "buy the rumor, sell the news" going on.
It's way more complicated than "Oh, great, Obama got re-elected so there goes my 401-K."

I think it's mostly #2. Maybe some automated trading keyed to election outcomes.
I guess one more thing and then I'm going to shut up. I think my whole idea of what "objectivity" means changed during this election. Objectivity isn't equal presentation of two sides of an argument...it's actually a willingness to believe and act from what's empirically provable rather than what one's intuition/experience/bias says.
This whole "the polls are skewed" argument seems ridiculous in hindsight when you look at how close the true empiricists' predictions were.
Wasn't all this world coming to an end, socialism, death panel, no health care blah, blah, blah garbage supposed to happen the first time he got elected?
I guess he just decided to wait til his second term to end America as we know it, huh?

From the perspective of my business, it's definitely number 1.

I'm just relieved the election is over. Since Obama will cancel future elections to cement his impending lifelong totalitarian dictatorship, at least we won't have to go through that again .
From the perspective of my business, it's definitely number 1.
Again, anyone just figuring this out today shouldn't be allowed near the stock market.
I've had 4 (Yes FOUR) projects postponed or cancelled by clients today. This wasn't something where they saw the election results this morning, started shouting "the world is ending", and began slashing budget. It was decided months ago, and I was pretty sure that 3 of them would get slashed or shelved, the fourth caught me slightly off guard.
It's about confidence, not just in Obama, but the government itself. 3 of these were with Fortune 500 companies, it's not just a bunch of little guys hitting the panic button.

And it's Obama and not the terrible European growth forecast?

Oh, the Fortune 500 companies are the ones hitting the panic button. They're compounding the dropoff in the Dow by selling off their own portfolios. Big business doesn't have confidence in Obama, at least when it comes to finance.

It's the election. I've heard it directly. Wait and See mentality taking effect. My projects tend to be viewed as "cost centers" and those are easy to shelve unless there are major issues to be addressed or serious business unit demand.

OK, another chart. Sorry for jumping back in after I said I'd shut up.
The DJIA was off FIVE PERCENT the day after election day, 2008. This is a common story in the financial press right now. And look what happened for the next four years…pretty much a straight run up.
I've seen the DEA suck with my own two eyes. I witnessed a full on black ski mask/unmarked van raid of a dispensary in my neighborhood. I wouldn't be too excited yet folks.
Why doesn't the DEA/DOJ realize if you legalize weed it gives them freedom to, oh I dunno, go after NO NO WORD!!! that actually destroy people's lives?
I've yet to hear anyone in my entire lifetime go "man....I had my whole life was ahead of me, then I picked up that joint and ended up blowing dudes under a trestle for enough $ to buy a dime bag!" But that's how marijuana is treated by the federal gov't.

Pharmaceutical companies are afraid of the (ridiculously cheap to produce) one cure all miricale plant IMO. They'll keep lobbying to keep weed a Schedule 1 NO NO WORD!!!.
California rejecting Prop 37 was just a huge bummer.
And now for my contributions to awful Facebook posts.

Well i can sleep well knowing Ryan will continue to be my state rep in Boston. I love the fact that he says he ran a positive campaign and got positive results. My kinda attitude. Which, is much different than liz warren's first remark about how the first thing she needs to do is attack people. America is going to get what it deserves electing people with a negaitve attitude like hers, and its sad, but hopefully it spurs a wake up call. People need to realize you get more done by working together than attacking people and organizations. She makes the US senate sound like a UFC octagon. As for the presidency, too close to tell, but if it ain't mitt, then I'm stockpiling ammo.
