James Lileks sarcastically lamenting the loss on election day, where 50.6% of the voters voted for Obama (2012):
"Half the country apparently believes national greatness is defined by the number of people who get signed up for food stamps while having an abortion on a light-rail train. To them, President Obama is (great) because he has organized a bucket brigade from the free money geyser that makes sure teachers have free phones and birth control. [...] No election will change your mind. No recovery that follows from an application of fiscal restraint will penetrate your adamantine brainpan. These are the people who scoff at Romney's desire to put people back to work. Work? For what? The same stuff we get now for free? What kind of deal is that?"
