Well well well, up to the time of the writing of this article, the Democrats had won the Senate but were losing the House. The Republicans were leading by 40 points for the House. It will be interesting to see what unfolds in the US in the coming months. From my point of view, Jamaican and US politics seem so similar. It doesn't matter how you batter people they are quick to forget. Everyone knows that the problems in the US were caused by Bush and the Republicans, but everyone is blaming Obama. So, they vote in the Republicans in the House, to bar every bill that Obama will try to insert to fix the economy. And yes, the job market was suffering badly, but who said that the US would be able to come out of a recession in 2 years. Truth be told, the Republicans have no real plans to get jobs for the jobless. Their aim is to protect Wall Street and to remove Main Street.


The road ahead is going to be hard for Obama, but now the Republicans will be in the spotlight, let's see what excuses they will make now....interesting times.
