I would take it seriously. But then again,this sob was voted into office by the American people. I would speculate that he got more than his share of the elderly vote. The words “free health care” and “I want to retire” come to mind.

When it happens the fools and idiots that voted for him will be getting what they deserve. And as for the rest of us, when it rains, it rains on the just as well as the unjust.

Now might be a good time to view the popular vote, as I remember, Obama did NOT carry the popular vote. He only received the majority of electoral votes due to an old tradition of fifty-one percent of popular vote in a state equals ALL the electoral votes of that state to be cast for that candidate. Example 51% of California popular vote equals 100% of electoral college votes to that candidate. You can see how we get a President that the majority of Americans did NOT vote for. By the way the voting of the electoral college is tradition and not even made compulsory by law. Conceivably you could have a state's 51% go to a candidate and the electoral college reps vote for whoever they want.
