THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN ... AND THE PEOPLE ARE RIGHT!


Election Results

Candidate Popular vote Percentage Electoral votes (270 to win)
Barack Obama 59680483 50% 303
Mitt Romney 57058176 48% 206



The people have spoken and President Obama has won. It is what I wanted, and what half of the country wanted. It was a close race, but it seemed like a quick win.

Instead of Republicans complaining, crying and damning him already ... how about we all work for the greater good? How about both sides come together to help repair this country? As long as one side stops the other, no president can get things done. We watched CNN and NBC last night, but for a laugh we turned on Fox News. On the screen they advertised a projected "win" for Obama, but the man speaking (who was Republican) was attacking him, and stating that the House (which Republicans have control of) will not support the President's plans. 

We don't know what all of the plans are, and they are already angry and not wanting to support what the man comes up with! Take a breath and come in fresh on day one. How about we all support him until we have reason to argue? Let the man do his job, instead of planning ways to stop him at the gate!

To all of the Mitt Romney voters ... Better luck next time. Two candidates in a row that the Republicans have offered up, have not been great. Don't blame Obama or Democrats, because you should blame the Republican Party. Find qualified, honest, open minded, and charismatic leadership, and then maybe you have a shot. Oh, and tell them to not pick morons for running mates. If Palin and Ryan have taught us nothing else, they have taught us that the President needs a running mate that is not a joke.

The last thing I will say about Romney/Ryan ... even the states, where they now hold offices, didn't vote for them. Both states voted Obama, so that says something. Maybe those states see what those men can do, and they didn't want to vote for either again. Hard to argue the facts. 

Well, moving forward and hoping we can all come together.
