BODY:
In These Times covered the election in real time on our Web site (www.inthesetimes.com) and on our blog (www.theittlist.com). Several of our readers sent along their thoughts after the results became clear:

To all those despairing over and baffled at the Bush victory, here is the good news. Bush spoke often this campaign about an "ownership society." He cannot exclude himself from that policy.

A president that takes no responsibility for his actions, and lies about the consequences of his policies, in his second term will have to "own up" to his policies, and not dump them on another administration. Iraq is a disaster -- and likely to get much worse. The economy will continue to be in shambles and the divide between rich and poor will widen, especially with the dismantling of what's left of the New Deal and Great Society programs.

Over the next four years Bush will not be able to hide from the real results of these decisions. The blame game is over, Mr. Bush -- now you have to take ownership.
