Congratulations, president Obama. Washington is obviously controlled by corporate lobbyists and the super wealthy like the Koch brothers whoever is elected, but the difference between Romney and Obama is that Obama was born a regular American, whereas Romney is a lobbyist and somebody who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and feels like it's his birth right to govern. I think the choice of who to trust for most Americans was pretty clear there, one of us, or part of the problem.
Unless of course, you believe that Romney/Ryan + all of the cast members of Bush the 2nd's cabinet, men who have never proposed a balanced budget in their lives, were going to balance the budget and be the first fiscally responsible Repub administration in 50 years. Clinton balanced the budget by cutting military spending after the cold war ended, Bush 2 blew the deficit back up to Bush 1 and Regan deficit levels and beyond by starting a new cold war.
You can talk about how Ryan likes to propose spending cuts all day long, but the only man who actually had a plan to balance the budget is Ron Paul, and the RNC changed the delegate rules specifically to prevent him from having any chance of winning the nomination, despite the fact that he dominated the late primaries.
