Land O' Lakes Residents 'Scared,' 'Excited' by Obama Win
We asked our Facebook fans how they felt about the president's re-election. Here's what they had to say.
President Barack Obama will get another four years, but not by Pasco's doing.
Former Gov. Mitt Romney won the county with 52.5 percent of the vote.
A total of 110,563 ballots were cast in Romney’s favor in Pasco. Obama came in second with 96,360 ballots cast in his favor, which works out to 45.81 percent, according to the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Office.
The county has traditionally voted Republican in presidential races, including wins for GOP candidates in 2008 and 2004.
When asked how they felt about the win, Land O' Lakes readers had this to say on our Facebook page:

If it didn't work the first time, why would it work the second time?? You can't keep failing at something and doing the same thing to fix it while expecting a different result. It doesn't work that way!!! I worry about my Dads family owned business and my children's future! It's a sad, sad day in America!!!

Having to wait for an "I told you so moment" in 4 years while our country goes to hell in a handbasket is going to kill me.
I really thought the "I told you so moment" would have been Nov. 5th. It is just not politically correct to put blame on our first black president. It' is after all Bush's fault. And people who believe that live among us.

What a bunch of idiots,did you really hear what that disgusting republican was actually saying. Pasco county is not middle class nor upper class. The people in pasco county can't afford to lose government programs, seniors need healthcare, women need to work and not be left out of the workforce pregnant and barefoot,children need education and pasco county has to wake up.

Yep! More Government = More Dependency = More Slavery.
It is too bad more people didn't actually read the Republicans Platform and the plan they had/have for bringing this country back to some form of sanity. Most of what the Democrates say about that plan is an exaggeration or was out right incorrect. Then again you can read the Democrates platform and read about their plan --- oh that is correct, they don't have a plan and it is obvious in their platform statements.
