Why do you care that she didn't vote for Obama?

The way I remember it Obama won anyway, or am I missing something?

Wouldn't it have been more relevant for you two to talk about Hillary? Presumably she will not vote against Hillary because she thinks Hillary is a muslim, will she?

And you think she voted 100% against her interests. That because she is "elderly, unemployed and without medical care" that means she should have voted for Obama. Yet Obama won and she still seems to be "elderly, unemployed and without medical care". Shouldn't she be billions of ways better off because Obama won?

Maybe her votes for Congress matter too.
