Support For President Obama.

.

My voting was not so much motivated by a belief in the candidate. Up to this election cycle, I did not believe it mattered who said he ran the country. This changed when the ‘dark money managers’ and GOP strategist targeted the White House and Congress for take-over, in direct opposition to the best interests of the people of USA.

My decision to vote was made longer than a year ago. I have been appalled by how absolutely awful the national political class in Washington D.C./New York actively decided to behave toward President Obama. Mr Obama is an honorable person doing a good job.

The people of USA put President Obama in Washington D.C. and the political class acted against the people’s will. I hold the GOP responsible and accountable.

The GOP were vociferous in their open vicious contempt and hatred. They were blatant about it and went out of their way to declare and actively make Mr Obama a failure. The national GOP approach over the past four years was, ‘it did not matter who or what else was hurt, if, at the end, they could make Mr Obama fail, they achieved their anti-USA goal.’ (I imagine it will not be better in the coming four years. They will just be more subtle in their nefarious deeds.)

When the Republican Party finally nominated Mr Romney, it made me even more resolute in my decision. (Amazingly, only a few years after the economy was brought to its knees by a gang of predatory Wall Street plutocrats, the GOP nominated a predatory Wall Street plutocrat!) The open level of mendacity, lies, and dis-honesty of the whole Romney/Ryan and Republican Party campaign was breathtaking in its audacity. Even when caught in a simple verbal mistake (Jeep production moving out of Ohio to China), instead of acknowledging an error, Mr Romney simple repeated the falsehood.

From the get-go the R/R/GOP ran its national campaign for President on verifiable and demonstrative lies. They even based their entire convention on taking one of the President's statements out of context (hammering President Obama about the "They didn't build that&quot and railing against it, knowing full well it wasn't what the President meant!

USA suffered over the past years because of the GOP sabotage/obstruction. The Washington D.C. Republican Party’s petty efforts to hurt the President at every and any opportunity regardless of the effects their political actions had on the people of USA was wrong. The voters rejected Mr Romney and the reprehensible, despicable behavior of the Republican Party.

The people of USA by the 2012 election, affirm their support for President Obama.
