Obama campaigned over and over and over (for 2 elections) on having the rich pay more taxes. Obama won the election 332 to 206 in the electoral college. Exit polls showed 63% of the voters want to raise taxes.
This is not a mandate? Really?

Nope Obama and his voters are not the only people in this country.

When the voters re-elect the congress just as it is then any idea of a mandate is out the door. Again Obama is not the only one to get re-elected.

Let me rephrase it, the republican congress has as much a mandate as Obama. Their mandates are given by those who elected them. Period.

So who got re-elected? You believe they should ignore their constituents? I don't.
