Simple majority fooled

Sun., Jan. 13, 2013

This is an old saying, “You can fool some of the people, some of the time; but you can’t fool all the people all of the time.” Unfortunately, it only took a simple majority to elect President Barack Obama in for a second term.

Question: How does this simple majority feel about the tax-and-spending economy he is creating for the country? Furthermore, now that he has been voted in for a second term, he has a blank check to virtually do anything he wants to do. He has said as much!
