Fox News pundit Charles Krauthammer: “I think the real story here is that Obama won, but he’s got no mandate.”
Fox News pundit Dick Morris: "Morris agreed, adding however that “'we need to understand just how weakly this president was re-elected, by the skin of his teeth.'” The Republican party, he continued, needs to work with Obama “'when he’s positive,'” but “'otherwise, we need to stand up against this socialist agenda and stop him from fundamentally changing the United States.'"
Later, he added that “I think that what we have to understand is that this is a president that lost seven points of the mandate that he was elected for in 2008; he won by seven then, he won by one last night. And I think that the Republicans cannot be intimidated, they can’t be cowed. They’ve got to stand up and make sure that he does not make permanent these socialist, big government program that he’s been pushing since his first term.”
Let's see here. Again, these two idiots couldn't be more wrong. Currently Obama has over 50% of the popular vote of which he's up about 3 million votes with millions still to count. He also captured 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206. That isn't winning by the "skin of his teeth." Far from it actually.
Compared to Bush's victory in 2000, it's a gigantic blowout. Even compared to Bush's 2004 victory where he only won 286 electoral votes and by a margin of just over 3 million votes, it's still a huge blowout. Plus, after 2004, Bush and Republicans did exactly what Morris is now saying isn't true: they claimed a mandate!! Bush himself said he had political capitol to spend.
So in what world does any of this make sense?
- 2000 election, you lose popular vote and win electoral college by 1 vote. Mandate!
- 2004 election, you win popular vote by a little over 3 million and electoral college with 286. Huge Mandate!
- 2012 election, Obama wins reelection with bigger margins than George Bush ever did. No Mandate, country is divided, we must stand up to his socialist agenda and fight him to save America!!
Barack Obama has been elected twice President of the United States by bigger, wider, larger and more popular margins than George W. Bush ever did. Being told he has no mandate, that he won by the skin of his teeth, that we must fight his socialist agenda and that America is still divided is pure treachery. No question, these people truly hate America.
