So what does it all mean?
Too many talking heads on TV providing too much analysis.

Please post in one sentence what it all means. Be creative.

1. The economy still sucks.
That's what 95% of this is all about.

4. It is all a long-term power play by republicans and their international money buddies, to privatize
everything and treat us like disposable tissues.

5. It means you should turn off your tv.
I don't do tv, except when I'm sick. DU is pretty much the best place to get all your news. It has a lovely liberal filter, without blurring out the facts.

12. Well, some thought the Dems went too far and voted. Others thought...
...the Dems sold out, didn't go far enough, and might not have voted.

11. Totally agree on this one. Exit polls showed that the economy was the top concern by far.

8. basically like poster above, economy sucks. maddow has a part 1 and 2 on dems accomplishments
these last couple years. they did a kick ass job. dems can not even appreciate. but no one recognizes all the dems did. we are all hurting, feel it and worry about the future.

unfortunately

it is oversea jobs. not an easy fix

9. No surprises. except that the tea party was not huge after all. The exit polls say "jobs" are the
top concern, and the numbers concerning Obama and health care are basically the same as before (split down the middle between dems and republicans). So it's the economy, etc. Not very creative, but I had to turn off the noise too. CNN was doing anything to make a story out of things, and it was very irritating.

14. As soon as it was obvious they couldn't pass real healthcare reform
when Rahm brought the insurance guys in and said "Mr. President before we do anything we have to promise them that there will be no public option" he should have fired Rahm, shelved healthcare reform, and immediately called for the repeal of NAFTA and for the creation of a new WPA.

16. That would have been awesome.
And I think it would have made a difference tonight. I think Rahm has a lot to answer for (and obviously will never answer) and you can see how shrewd he was to leave the scene before fingers started pointing at him.

15. A lot of scared people once again voted against their economic interests.
Also, there are many who wanted to vote against the President and the President's agenda and saw voting for the Republicans as the way to do it.
