The red states are still sulking after the landslide electoral vote victory of President Obama over Governor and Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.
Many of these states are so distraught about the decisions that most Americans made about our President that they have signed petitions to secede form the Union in a deja vu American history moment of the 1800s. These petitions are hosted on the White House's website where you can petition pretty much anything to fall in the appropriate committee or group's hand for approval or even legitimacy.
Hopefully, this passes through as the joke that it is. Many of the red states that are still sour about the loss still do not understand that although more states voted for Romney these states have a far lower population (and clearly access to political/government books). Regardless whether who won or who lost, the American public decided and we must stay unified and believe in our chief leader. As other nations look to us as not only a financial but military world leader, we must understand that displaying distrust in our own leader causes other nations to not trust him either.
Many say that Lincoln was hated so much in his victory that many more states threatened to secede and multiple attempts at his life were planned, but he stuck through it and produced some of the greatest legislature ever written. I hope and believe President Obama can do the same.
