THANKS.

I'm a union guy. We worked hard here in Mass. for Warren and in NH for Obama. I don't get much trouble from people at work, after all I'm the union president (only 150 members, though) and they mostly agree with me on politics (or pretend they do).

However, everywhere else I go, outside of my union work, I have to argue all the time about politics. You see, I'm a 60 year old white guy and my contemporaries generally hate Barack Obama. I will never let a comment slide. There's no Kenya or birther or Muslim talk without me making a fool out of the individual, and I don't care if he's with his wife and kids. Anywhere, anytime, they'll hear the working class speech from me, with facts to back it up. I always felt outnumbered and besieged.

Well, because of the rest of the demographics that are not white, middle aged men, I get to gloat for at least 4 more years.

Here's my new line to my Friends who are in shock about the election (I had some of them predicting that Romney would win Mass., they just missed that prediction by 24 points). Well, anyway, here's the line. "Hey, Gary, do you know who the next Republican President is going to be?" Gary's response, "No, Louis, I don't know". My response, "I don't know either, because he hasn't been born yet."

I owe it all to you.

THANKS AGAIN.
