Actually, no! Romney received 792,814 fewer votes in 2012 than what McLame received in 2008. Try looking up the numbers like I did.

You could say Romney received a higher percentage of the vote, which he did (47.2 vs 45.6); or that Romney received more electoral votes (206 - 173). But, that was not the point I made.

Obozo received 6,841,491 fewer votes in 2012 than 2008. If people claiming to have love of country, and who opposed the evils of Obozo, had voted for Romney instead of staying home, casting no vote at the top, or voting turd party, Romney would be the President, and Obozo would be sitting on the sidelines.

I don’t know where you are looking up those numbers, but they are just wrong. Romney gained a million votes and won a higher percentage of the total vote.

John McCain: 59,934,814 45.7%
Mitt Romney: 60,932,152 47.2%
