I gather from reading his post that Simmons regrets having voted for Obama.
I read the piece, so I gather you are right. It is hard to reconcile that the guy who wrote the message from a time traveler bit happily voted for Obama. To my understanding, the libs still consider Simmons a brain-eaten racist for writing it. Maybe that had something to do with his vote, I suppose. He said it was partly due to racism.
