Obama 2012?

Fewer Americans voted for Obama in 2012 than in 2008.

Do you know how many Americans that voted for Obama in '08 didn't vote for for him this time?

@H2O MAN,

That's about as stupid a statement as I've seen on this race. OBAMA WON! Romney lost most of the Hispanic, Black, Asian, Women, Gays & Lesbians, and Democrat votes. Romney lost most of the tossup states.

You continue to squirt irrelevancies on a2k; you should find another hobby.

@H2O MAN,

Meanwhile, Democrats have won the popular vote in five out of the last six presidential elections.

Five out of the last six elections!

Just read it on TPM -- even though I knew it (Clinton, Clinton, Gore, [Bush] Obama, Obama) still a bit of a wow.

(As an aside, "Obama, Obama"! Still getting used to the idea that he's a two-term prez.)

@H2O MAN,

That just makes Romney's loss to him even more pathetic.

How could you allow your party to put up such an impotent candidate?

So much for getting laid off if Obama is reelected...

Quote:

The private timeshare mogul and Mitt Romney supporter who swore mass employee layoffs if President Barack Obama won reelection has had a change of heart.

Earlier this year, David Siegel, the founder of Central Florida Investments and Westgate Resorts, emailed a letter to his employees warning them to vote for Romney or else. However, after Obama won the election on Tuesday, instead of firing some of his 65,000 employees, Siegel decided to give them raises.

The anti-Obama Siegel opened up about his change of heart. "I’m going to work my hardest to keep the company going and expand the best I can," Siegel told Bloomberg Businessweek. "We’ll see what happens. Meanwhile I gave everybody in the company a raise this week—the average was 5 percent. I wanted to help them handle the additional burdens the government will put on them."

@JPB,

Those scare tactics were real. I know my granddaughter told me her class mates said that their dads were going to be laid off in the coal company if Obama was re-elected. She said there were fights in the class with kids talking about the election. Her bus driver even asked kids who they would vote for and that started a fight. There are signs up all over the place talking about how Obama is against coal.

@revelette,

I'm just wondering how long this "threat of jobs" will be remembered, and if there will be any backlash by workers?

@cicerone imposter,

You know what's really funny? The stock market is reacting to Obama's win as if our economy will fall into a tailspin; over 300 point loss yesterday, and down over 60 points today - so far.

They can't see that home values are increasing, more housing being built, more cars being sold, and consumer confidence increasing.

What a bunch of twerps!

@H2O MAN,

Do you know how many people voted for Obama this time who were too young to vote for him last time? What about all those 15yr olds who really wanted to vote, they'll be voting in 2016, and a lot of people who voted for Romney will be dead then.

It's called demographics, The Republican party is the party of aging angry white men, and they're a dying breed.
