America has spoken

yes, America has spoken, and it has spoken in favour of the incumbent President. it does appear that the nation is bracing for war, why else would they choose a 'war-time' President? i must say i am disappointed with the result, but then again, the Republicans did their homework well. it would be very incompetent of them to not lay enough groundwork during their tenure to ensure re-election.

from a purely selfish point of view, i don't care who wins - what matters to me is how it is going to affect my life, as a foreign student in the USA studying in an engineering field - the immigration issues, the research funding, the quality of life. let's see.
