Since the most enjoyable part of a Democratic victory is a Republican defeat, I give you this mean spirited website to contemplate.
Meanwhile, here's how Global Times saw the whole affair(it's an unsigned ed, therefore produced in-house)
Western governments have given up their responsibility to lead society and now only shuffle voters and votes.
This should alarm Chinese society. The spirit of hard work and effort must not be replaced by unrealistic welfarism.
I suspect there's a bit of convergence on this between the CPC and the Fever Swamp Right today.
Can anyone explain where this "Obungo" thing comes from?

On a related note, this seems to be doing the rounds.

Is it time for a quote from the Nixon in China libretto again? Yes, I think it is. (ps 6 & 7.)

From the Global Times piece:
I wonder if perhaps they're missing the concept of sufficiency. Without clothes, you will be cold, and then what happiness can there be? Therefore, the most precious thing in the world is clothes.

First post-election drone strike today, in Yemen. The man went straight to the office.

It's probably just a way for him to blow off steam. Couple of sets at the gym, Yemen remote killing, breakfast.

The president can bomb anyone he wants.

That's the very operational definition of what it means to be a president, Chris.
I've been saying around some other blogs that I thought he'd celebrate with a drone strike. I thought it might be Pakistan. Deftly done Barry O.
