Karl Rove had a bit of a meltdown when Fox News called Ohio and, as a result, the entire election for President Obama. That threw the two anchors, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier, into a bit of a tizzy that led to an interview with their "Decision Desk" to explain the reasoning.
Poor Karl Rove. All that money, all that Benghazi, "You didn't build that," the birtherism, the racial dog whistles - all for naught.

THAT’S FUNNY – Fox News, Dick Morris, and Karl Rove had me convinced that Mitt Romney was going to win this election in a landslide victory. I swear, I don’t know why I still watch Fox News. I think I might have Stockholm Syndrome. That’s a pre-existing condition, right?

I always felt the appropriate slogan for Fox would be We Report, you obey.
Meanwhile in case any of you missed it The Donald is calling for a revolution.

Remember I said hopefully,that doesn’t mean I’m convinced that they will.But I’m an eternal optimist and therefore “Hopeful”,in the mean time I’m overjoyed with our victory,all the hate and discontent from Fox’s incompatent wackheads are now even more unimportant then before.
Can’t wait for tonight watching the “Horror show”,called “Exploding heads”.

Methinks you are right: he’s learned that it takes two to tango and that the republicans, from day one, said that their primary concern was to make him a one-term President. IOW, they refused to tango.
During the first four years, their answer to attempts to work across the aisle has been “we decide and you accept without contest”.
During the next four years, I fully expect them to change their position to “we decide and you accept without contest”.

One last interesting tidbit (IMHO) before I head for work: (Yes, a liberal with a job!)
In the Bush ‘mandate’ of 2004, in the Electoral College, Bush received 286 votes, and Kerry 251.
And Fox is NOW saying that President Obama needs to make concessions to get along with the 50% that voted against him?

As soon as Obama was declared the winner I could no longer read any comments on Fox Nation. I could get in but once I tried to open the comment section my screen froze up. It was doing the same thing this morning and at first I thought the problem could be with my system at home, but Iâm having the same issue here at work. Is anyone else having that problem? Iâm curious to know if they shut it down for obvious reasons.

Peter Johnson Jr today saying Obama has to consider the wishes of the people who voted against him.
Note to PJJ – He spent 4 years doing that jerk!
When Dumbya won those who voted against him had to Shut Up!
It’s obvious Fux is going to create whole new categories of Hate and Division the next four years.

âMany of us have believed â and I still basically do â that that this is a center-right country,â Hume explained.
Well, Brittster, just maybe you assholes should have listened to the people instead of the sound of money.
And fuck you for what you and your slimy ilk tried to do to OUR country.

A few days ago David Frum admitted that Obama took GOP position on issues but they had already agreed to obstruct from day-one in 2008. Then he said rMoney must win to end the gridlock. Insanity is the new normal for conservatives.

@bemused â âthat the President will change his ways.â
In other words – the American people are dopes and we will just shove it down their throats! That does match with the Fux Noize attitude.
Fux Noize – Rupert Murdoch’s 24/7 Contribution to the GOP super-PAC.

Just caught Peter Johnson Jr. admitting that the voters have spoken and that it’s important to work together … ending with the hope “that the President will change his ways.”
That’s what I call a “double-take moment” as in come again? You lost and it’s the winner who has to change? You can’t expect people to swallow … Oh wait.

When you attack someone 24/7 for four years for anything and everything and even made up nonsense you make that person the underdog. People see this and have sympathy for him and they will make him their hero and vote for him. Saying that your top priority was to make Obama a one term President really backfired BIG TIME! If they continue to filibuster and obstruct everything he tries to do now, as in the past, which will only generate more contempt for themselves and ruin their chances again in 2016! Today FOX is right back it too ripping the helath care law apart and using their usual BS lines about it! So guess they will never learn!

Always an excuse to paper over the Crazies in GOPLand. Never mind that âItâs Mittâs time. Itâs our turn now.â rMoneys who believed that all the “$250K middle-class Americans” will vote for them, exposed themselves as vacuous power crazed robots.
The Hate and Scapegoating will ramp up and up and up at Fux Noize because Rupert cannot expose the tyranny of the 1%.

Karl Rove’s loss of composure was truly odd. He wound up not even being able to defend his own argument very well. Not sure what he thought he was accomplishing by continuing to double down on the points he had already lost.
Of course, he quickly moved on to a fairly mean-spirited dismissal of the Obama campaign, starting a meme that I believe will be showing up all over Fox News during the next few days. Their new story is that Obama “went small” and “has no mandate”. Both Rove and Krauthammer tried to push that idea as Romney’s prospects went upside down.
Anyone want to take a wager that Sean Hannity will be in complete meltdown mode tomorrow night?

You think Uncle KKKarl is having a hissy fit?
Think how the Kochsucker Brothers are feeling.
They spent MILLIONS trying to buy this White House, and even abandoned their beloved teabaggers in order to devote their full time and resources toward that end — all for naught.
Which makes me doubly concerned for President Obama’s personal safety these next four years: whenever multimillionaires like the Kochsuckers spend money, they want a return on their investment . . . if they can’t get that return legally, they may try to do so illegally . . .
