Obama 2.0 – Uncivil War

President Barack Obama won a decisive victory in the 2012 Presidential election over his challenger Mitt Romney. The voting public spoke loudly on the direction they wanted the United States to proceed, but there seems to a political revolt taking place at the state government level. Many Republican governors and other GOP politicians decided that they would go in a different direction than the national electorate and started a political uncivil war to oppose implementing as many Obama initiatives as possible at the state level. The day after President Obama defeated Mitt Romney in the election for President of the United States, an online petition to succeed from the United States arrived at the White House from the state of Louisiana and shortly thereafter succession petitions arrived from all fifty states. While states succeeding from the union are highly unlikely, it does underscores the divide we have in the country even after a decisive election victory by President Barack Obama.
