To the Editor:

On Election Night, when I saw Bill O’Reilly say that President Barack Obama’s supporters were voting for him because he would give them “stuff,” I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. I thought that no one could take such a statement seriously when it clearly was being pulled out of O’Reilly’s rear end. Silly me.

To clarify, I voted for the president for several reasons: Unlike Mitt Romney, he isn’t going to raise my taxes while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest. (I’m in the bottom 20 percent.) I have no problem with same-sex couples being married, and the president is more likely to support green energy technology than was his Republican opponent.
