Yesterday, both President Obama and Mitt Romney were in the swing
state of Ohio campaigning. At one Romney event near Cleveland, a group
of Obama supporters gathered to voice their dislike for Romney.
One apparent Obama supporter was caught on video seemingly giving a
very clear explanation of why she is voting for the president and why
she does not like Mitt Romney.
The passionate explanation for the former involves Obama giving free phones:
In case you did not hear that clearly, we will transcribe it as best we can.
“Everybody in Cleveland, low minorities, got Obama phone. Keep Obama
in president, you know. He gave us a phone, he gonna do more.”
The person shooting the video asks, How did he give you a phone? To which the woman replies: “You sign up! If you on food stamps, you on social security, you got low income, you disability…”
The video includes a cut at that point and picks up with the filmer asking “What’s wrong with Romney?” Without blinking, the passionate Obama supporter says:
“Romney, he sucks! Bad.”
If this kind of thinking sounds familiar, we have heard similar comments from Obama supports as far back as 2009.
