NOT A MANDATE!!!

hello america!!! while obama & company are quick to say america voted for the tax rate increase on those making $200,000 per year, i have to agree however, quit a few of them voted against it. obama & the dem senate retained their majority as did the rep controlled house...it was not the clear cut 'mandate' the dems are saying it was & does not grant them license to 'bully' america or the repubs into doing things their way or else. hell, here's the fact; out of 125,657,870 total votes cast &, you win by 4,516,190, you are being told that the country wants you to work together.
