16. That vote count was more a reflection of how bad Rmoney was as opposed to any

real belief by informed, astute citizen that Obama was "good" or was going to do anything other than he has so far which is to help his corporate overlords. In doing so, he will do less damage to the rest of us than Rmoney would have done, and a lot of people saw that Rmoney would be worse and chose the lesser of evils, not what you're trying to imply which would be that Obama was a "good" choice. He isn't, he's just not as bad or as bought by corps as the other guy was.
