“the mandate that has been given to Barack Obama”
I’d like to see them show proof of a mandate.
Reagen had a mandate.
Obama is a sock puppet reading from a teleprompter.
I'm sure that any man dates on Obama's part are kept discrete, and we won't see evidence. Reagan had a mandate because he won (1) without voter fraud, and (2) by a much larger margin (17% edge in popular votes, 525:13 in electoral votes in 1984; 10% edge in popular votes, 489:49 in electoral votes in 1980). That was a mandate. Obama 2012 was much closer, and massive fraud was a factor.
This election had one of the lowest turnouts in history.
Barely half of that pathetic number of what we cant really assume were ever real people voted for him... Maybe.
In the next mid-term election, he is going to see how much of a mandate he doesn’t have.
