    How he won and his strategies are one and the same to me.

    America has become a cesspool. The sheer existence of the cesspool is just one of the reasons he won........sad but true. Also there are a lot more people on welfare, food stamps, SSI and the like now than ever before and they ALL as a group have ALWAYS voted dem and that's another HUGE reason........again, sad but true. They vote for whats best for them not the country.

    Why are so many more people on programs such as welfare...etc..than ever before? It's not the economy that puts or keeps them their..........it's their being lazy ethics and/or poor life choices and lack of pride and dignity that puts them on and keeps them on such programs that weigh our ONCE great country to it's knees. I know there are some that have to be on such programs due to certain things out of their hands but there are FAR to many people in the system that are able to work but CHOOSE not to. It's exactly like President Obama said "anyone can make it in America IF THEY TRY HARD ENOUGH". Most just give up to easy and some don't even try at all and are happy knowing that they are getting a free ride on the back of the hard working middle class. How do I know for a fact you ask? Other than it being common knowledge to the working people of America....I work for the Social Security Administration. I'm an investigater. I track and investigate such people on a daily basis. The things I see on my job saddens me to a great degree and to be honest its usually in the black communities.

    There are a great number of reasons why he got a second term but those are the two biggest factors believe it or not.

    As far as how he will do............Hmm well, I Guess we will have to wait and see. All I can say is I hope he does better than he did his first term.

    BTW, just in case anyone is wondering what race I am (lol....I bet you thought I was white).....I am a proud, hard working black man that has strong morals to boot. I had rather work for less than to get more for free.......i.e.....welfare, food stamps, SSI and the like. If you don't understand that then you are most likely one of the people that are causing the problem.

    Just like most all black families my father, grandfather and other older members in my family always talked about blacks rising as a people. It would sadden my father and grandfather to see how most blacks in general have become by having less and less dignity and integrity by laying down as a people with dogs and getting up with fleas.

    Romney cast his lot with the Tea Party. With racists and religious bigots. Obama made his appeal to the rest of America.

    Today, ethnic Americans are about t30 percent of our citizens. In 30 years, that will be 50 percent. There is no longer a place in America for the Tea Party and their intolerance.

    The majority of poor lazy people voted for Obama because Obama was giving food and money for the poor. While the rich and the middle class work their *** off and get nothing.

    Here's the thing:

    It doesn't matter who won. Changing the economy starts in your own household.

    Because he is half black, and majority of the American population is not white and so he appealed to them in that way, also taxing the more fortunate people who WORK HARDER TO EARN MONEY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILY AND BASICALLY STEALING THEIR MONEY and giving it to people who dropped out of high school.

    Also he fed us lies about getting us out of debt but all the dumb as* is going to do is put us in even more debt, and he's going to do a pretty. Sh*t job if you ask me.
