A divided government was the theme as Republicans gained control of the House and strength in the Senate Tuesday night. President Barack Obama will now face a conservative front aimed at trimming government and cutting public aid programs such as welfare, unemployment, and healthcare. By passing socio-economic legislation such as equal pay for women, healthcare reform, extending unemployment, and the auto bailout, to name a few, the Democrats and President Obama aimed at helping those directly affected by the economy.
Many sources blame the President for his disconnect to the people and inability to “reach across the aisle”. Mid-term voters have stated that they are unhappy about unemployment, finances, the political parties, and the federal government.
Did America make the right decision by putting the party responsible for the financial meltdown back in power?
Here are some key results from Tuesday’s election:
Republicans scored the biggest party turnover in more than 70 years Tuesday.
Incomplete returns showed the GOP picked up at least 60 House seats
Republicans also gained at least six Senate seats, and Tea Party candidates Paul in Kentucky, Mike Lee in Utah and Marco Rubio in Florida were among their winners.
The GOP also wrested 10 governorships from the Democrats, Ohio and Pennsylvania among them, and gave two back, California and Hawaii.
Seizing control of the House and gaining strength in the Senate, triumphant Republicans ushered in a new era of divided government Wednesday and served notice they will confront President Barack Obama with a conservative agenda to cut government and spur private-sector jobs.
“We’ve been given a second chance and a golden opportunity,” Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, No. 2 Republic
Seizing control of the House and gaining strength in the Senate, triumphant Republicans ushered in a new era of divided government Wednesday and served notice they will confront President Barack Obama with a conservative agenda to cut government and spur private-sector jobs.
“We’ve been given a second chance and a golden opportunity,” Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, No. 2 Republican in the House, said as his party reaped a windfall from independent voters and tea party activists. He called the outcome a rejection of Obama more than an endorsement of the GOP, cautioning fellow Republicans they must to work to win public confidence.
“People want to see results,” he said on CBS’s “The Early Show.” “They want to see the government go on a diet just like they have.”
Republicans scored the biggest party turnover in more than 70 years Tuesday with their win in the House and, in doing so, will dethrone Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi — a prime target of their campaign — who had crashed a political glass ceiling and made history with her elevation to speaker four years ago.
