"We?"
You were a Brit at the time.
Romney destroyed himself with his 47% comment and the evangelicals did not trust a mormon. (Can't say I blame them for that!)
Besides, conservative horseshit aside, Obama had done a pretty good job cleaning up Bush's mess.
At the time yes, now I live here.
How could Romney have destroyed himself with that comment? I thought your whole point was that the billionaires choose the President? Why would a comment that didn't affect them make them pick Obama over Romney? Or could it be perhaps, that the people of this country still have a voice and voting power?
