That Is A Mandate

There seems to be some Republicans claiming President Obama did not get a mandate because Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives. President Obama did get a mandate last night. Even without Florida President Obama won the electoral college by 97 votes. If you add Florida, President Obama won the electoral college by 126 votes. As of this moment President Obama won the popular vote by more 2 million votes. That is a mandate.
