McCain lost because of Bush. Everyone liked Bush in the beginning. Now people dislike Bush. Why do people dislike Bush? What did he do so terrible? Nothing. However, he accepted credit for everthing positive about the country so now he gets blamed for everthing negative about the country. He gets blamed by the media and by people looking for an escapegoat.
Despite Bill Clinton's disgusting confession he stayed in office because of the economy and no war. Fast forward to a man that promoted faith based initiatives and no one, even people in his party, do not want to be associated with him because of the economy and war. No one bothers to look past the rhetoric and spin.
If we accept candidates that say what we want to hear and not what we need to hear, we will always get candidates that do and say whatever to get elected. However, we can decide if they get reelected. If the economy is good, Obama will be reelected. Because people will put their money before morality. If the economy is bad, he will not be reelected. The rhetoric and spin will turn against him as it did for Bush and McCain.
So if you are unhappy with the outcome, just hope for another bad economy and war in order to see a changing of the guard as we just did. FYI, you cannot spin a positive economy. You spin who gets credit for positive and who gets blamed for negative.
The media is a reflection of this country's morality or lack of. We do not reward honesty and integrity. We replaced fairness with selfishness. And since we do not stand for anything, we fall for everything.
I thought this is one nation under God. Is anyone reading God's word, the Bible and praying, instead of listening to what everybody says about an issue.
