It had to be somewhere.

CNN's Gary Tuchman recently visited the most anti-Obama locale in the US: King County, Texas. It was here that the President received only 5 votes out of 139 cast in a sparsely populated pocket of northwest Texas.

"I thought he sounded more like a dictator than a president," said one county resident. When asked by Tuchman what he thought of Obama's first term, another replied, "It ain't worth a damn."

While one of the five King County Obama voters were apparently in attendance at an area basketball game, the individual declined to speak on camera. Says Tuchman of the vastly outnumbered pro-Obama voter: "He did not feel comfortable going public with his decision to vote for the man, who at least here, is a most unpopular president."

Americans - the inner city crowd, are pretty anti-obama as well. If it wasn't for obama's charisma and smooth lying and the fact he's a minority, most people wouldn't vote for him. Time and time again I ask people what possesses them to support a man such as obama and they can't name one single policy they agree with him on. It's all looks with the liberals in this nation.

What? only five votes in a whole county? And a Texas sized county to boot. This is an outrage. Well I tell you what, no phones for you.

And are we even supposed to care about 134 "anti-Obama votes" in some swampland section of northwest Texas? To tell you the truth...I'm amazed that most of them could even read the ballot!

what accounts for politix providing story after story continuing show the dividing this country between Republicans and Democrats ? The election is over the divide remains. I predict a landslide of democrat candidated winning their districts in 2014 . the Democrats will have a super majority of both Houses and the president will no excuses for not getting everything he wants. should be interesting .

I'm with you, Wolfie. Politix needs to stop beating that poor, dead horse. We were mostly all in agreement on legalizing cannabis. There must be other issues on which many of us can find common ground, instead of this ceaseless rancor. Fun is fun, but enough already.

It's pure racism people are all to quick to say obamas the worst president In history but when you ask if they could explain why they just repeated some malarkey they Heard on Fox News they cant answer you but then if you ask them again to explain why they say what ever they just said they tell you to do your research on Obama and you'll know and then if you ask them what they "know" they all say this well I know what I know do you know but they watch fox that's all you can expect out of someone who watches fox there's nothing going on up there

Dude, it goes both ways. Most blacks voted for Obama because he was black and most redneck idiots voted for Romney. The majority of our fine citizens only listen to spun news anyway and actually believe it as fact. Amercians need to focus a little less on Honey Boo Boo and a little more on the what their leaders are doing. But, if we did that, we'd start asking too many questions and start filling up those 'rowdy citizen' prisons that have been popping up all over the place over the last decades. your leaders are not your friends.

These folks have enough problems without us making fun of them. They are from a very conservative county in a very conservative state. They are Americans and voted the way they thought best even if I don't agree with them.
