I have worked hard and paid my dues for my whole adult life, and I am furious at being called a lazy moocher because I voteed Democratic. Personally, I HAVE benefitted greatly--- my children get to pay low-interest student loans as I did 30 years ago rather than having a massive debt right away, my husband-who got sick as a result of being a 9-11 first responder-- cannot now be kicked off our health insurance, we got a few thousand back the past few years by reducing required social security contributions; implementing HARP & reducing our house interest, capping our health care costs for the
future at % of my salary (and bending national cost curve down by multiple billions over next 2 decades); ending war I did not support in Iraq- phasing out war in Afghanistan; killing Osama Bin Laden and most of Al Qaeda leadership (the ones that actually attacked us; not Iraq or Muslims or...); taking insults and being called Socialist, Fascist, affirmative action idiot, undeserving, unAmerican, having his wife's behind insulted for being too big and other regular racial slurs, etc etc... I don't love everything Obama has done as president but I think it should be apparent that this guy is a hard-working class act. He has responded with dignity and respect for others unlike his critics. I am not at all surprised that he won the "minority" vote so thoroughly. For four years, when the opposition was so busy insulting the President, those to whom the same insults could apply were noticing and remembering and taking offense.
