I tend to disagree.
Obama won on the strength of entitlements funded by Baraqqi/Bernanke/Geithner electronically created money.
Obama voters in general voted in their own interest.
In that sense, you are right. As long as those individuals have no ambition to make more than modest handouts give them over a lifetime, they voted for their best interest. There has always been a portion of the population satisfied with that. As we have all feared, it may be a tipping point where that number has grown enough to pre-determine national elections. We've seen it happen in California, New York, and cities like Detroit, LA, and many others.
With your view, this voting block cares not about a job or a rising income as is tradition in America. They are satisfied with a handout.
When I look at this, I look at the younger voters in particular who showed up in big numbers despite the fact that they are college educated, but stuck in service jobs living in their parents spare room. I am shocked to see that group vote in large numbers.They essentially were sealing out any chance of getting a career started before they turn 30. One conclusion is that the election became about gays, racism, abortion, fairness, and anything but the economy. Those people fell for the illusion tactics during the campaign.
