Well, I would agree with that title. You’re trying to “slant it” to be something that it’s not (i.e., “indecisive”). I posted the following in another thread...

I call 52.8-45.8% a blowout [68,465,974-59,417,826]. My comparison is what happened with Bush and what happened with Clinton. Obama did far more than either of those guys...

Obama’s election (2008) — 52.8-45.8% [[68,465,974-59,417,826]
Bush’s last election (2004) — 50.7-48.3% [62,040,610-59,028,444]
Bush’s first election (2000) — 47.9-48.4% [50,456,002-50,999,897] - Bush lost the popular vote; won electoral college
Clinton’s re-election (1996) — 49.2-40.7% [47,402,357-39,198,755]
Clinton’s election (1992) — 43.0-37.7% [44,909,806-39,104,500] - another, third candidate in election

Compared to what has gone on before, Obama was elected by far greater majorities than any of these Presidents in the last five elections (including the present one)...

So Obama *was elected decisively*... indeed... (no matter whether you or I agree with him being elected).
