Not exactly re-elected with a ringing endorsement.
The total votes mean nothing. I'm sure Obama could have picked up more votes in Texas and Romney could have picked up more votes in California, but why bother. There were only about 9 states up for grabs, the vote totals from the other 41 mean nothing.
Presidents in last century who won 50% of popular vote twice

Not millions. Maybe a couple hundred thousand. The simple fact is that Obama got far fewer votes this time than he got last time.dbackjon wrote:CitadelGrad wrote:How many of those presidents received 10 million fewer votes in their second election than they did in their first?

Lame Rushannity talking point.
You do realize there are millions of votes yet to be counted?
Even your pea-brain should understand that in NJ/NY/CT alone, 1.5 million fewer votes were cast this year, than in 2008 - mostly Democratic votes not cast because of Sandy.
Fucking Racist Idiot.

You must be big on moral victories. No doubt the Romney camp is thrilled that Obama got fewer votes than he did in 2008.

There are still a half million or so in ARIZONA ALONE to count.
And so what if he did. Romney got less than McCain.

When we use it, it's appropriate satire. When you drop, it's vitriol from a hateful conk who thinks poor people and blacks are the root of all America's problems.

If those are my choices in the future, I got no problem with it.CAA Flagship wrote:Your only lunch choices in the future:D1B wrote:God bless Barack Obama!
Greatest president of our lives.
What I have a problem with is L21 on the menu!
Couple of questions...
1. Shouldn't it be General Tso's Shrimp?
2. Who the fuck is General Tsu, and what in the name of all things Griz does he know about shrimp?
BTW, for those that haven't had it, Peking Shrimp is awesome!!!

True. Satire aimed at them, but it goes right over they hayeds.
