I live in one of the reddest counties in one of the reddest states, and even here Obama got 39% of the vote. I know lots of folks who voted for him.

Do you know anyone that voted for him. I maybe know two people that said they voted for him. How about you?

Just remember...

5 million more voted for Obama than for Romney. It wasn't even close.

3.7 more years.

I did meets someone before election, she was fat, bleached blond and smoked. When I asked why she was voting for Obama she said, "I like him". I know another woman that voted for him, she is dumb as a rock though. Do you really know how people perceive you? It would be funny to see if we could identify them just by looking at them, looking at habits, how they act and live.

If you see someone handing their EBT card to buy something you just met someone who voted for Obama. If you meets someone who has a kid or two or three and never married you met someone who voted for Obama.
