Dear Editor,
We did it! Obama won, with no thanks to Tennesseans. When will Tennessee ever learn that Republicans are for the rich, and side with the rich. Their record shows that, and that’s the sad part of why Tennessee is out of step and out of touch with the rest of the country.
When will Tennessee ever wake up to the record of Republicans? Republicans’ record shows the U.S. economy in a mess and our image in ruins.
This is why Republicans lost the election. The American people saw the record mess and disaster that is before them, record debt, record profits for the oil companies, record numbers of Americans unemployed and getting worse by the day.
I am not surprised poor East Tennessee went Republican because it makes no difference to Republicans how bad the economy is. When a Republican is in the White House it makes no difference to them, as they rush out and continue to vote against themselves.
I’m glad I voted for Barack Obama, and I’m glad he’s been elected president of the United States.
We did it! He will help America’s middle class, students and poor. Obama will help all these Americans, and even the Republicans who voted against him.
