Remember that presidential election we had two months ago? The electoral college has followed through.
Lawmakers on Friday counted the electoral college's votes on Friday, and the results were as expected: 332 votes for Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden; and 206 votes for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and his running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
Biden, in his role as the Senate's president, read the results of the electoral college's votes - actually taken in December, more than a month after Election Day - in a joint legislative session in the U.S. House.
While Obama awaits his January 21 inauguration, he'll be making new picks for his cabinet. High-profile vacancies are expected to include secretary of state, secretary of defense and treasury secretary.
Big cabinet decisions loom as Obama vacations

Sure, if Bush was president in 2010 when the cellphone companies started using tents in other peoples' parking lots to distribute phones to welfare recipients. That didn't begin until 2010.
@Mary. No, it would not mean that. It has been illegal to own a human being in the United States of America from since before women were allowed to vote or natives owned casinos.
