the USA is safer and will be in better shape than before the Election and do you think Bush will get past all the names Nancy Peloski called him

Investors like it when Congress is controlled by one party and the presidency is controlled by another. This is because such a situation causes political gridlock—fewer laws get passed—and it's well known that the less government does, the better the economy fares. Expect the stock market to rise.

No, the US is no safer at all after the election.
Both the Dems and the Reps are under considerable pressure to accomplish solutions. Arguably, the Dems are now under MUCH MORE pressure to get things accomplished than before the election. They could claim, and did, that all the problems were those of the reps, now they cannot do that.
The Dem majorities are razor thin (do you think Lieberman feels bound to vote with the Dem majority on every issue....? after they slandered him?-----or that former Rep. Jim Webb will follow the lead of leftist partisans Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid?) Legislation that passes will need to be crafted to appeal to the small number of centrists of both parties in both chambers. And, the President will be playing game as well as the Dem leadership---why? Because they have no choice.

Although I am very happy to see a balance of power in Washington but I also know that USA will not become safer and in better shape overnight? the damage done can not be undone that quickly. The mess in Iraq will take allot of time and the president has not changed. It is the same person in power with the same beliefs and agenda as a week ago. I would expect very slow change and lots of blame on Democrats.

There was a lot of name calling on both sides, including by Bush. If Bush 41 and Clinton can get past their contentious 1992 election then Pelosi and Bush 43 can get along now. They're supposed to be leaders of the greatest country in the world. They should be able to get past some name calling.

Only time will tell. The Dems had better step up and deliver because they will be severely brought to task if they cannot.
Blame will not be easily passed with majority in both the house and senate and especially if a Dem is elected President in 2008.

Bush now is a lame duck president, then again all the dems and repubs in the senate and house now can just take a vacation because nothing will get accomplished. Not like they do much now, but stand by for even more party politics where nothing is accomplished.

Anything would be much better and safer than the Bush republicanism! As for the name Nancy called him, I'm with her 100% and I agree with her the same..

Irishfan made more sense than anyone. No more will be accomplished in the next 2 years than has in the last 6 years.

LOL.
Oh, she's frightening, isn't she?
No, I don't think it is safer. Particularly from globalistic immigration programs that would educate the world's poor at the cost of our own children's educations.
However, it may get better on some other fronts.

I think government documents called "bin Laden planning attack" will be less likely to be overlooked now.
