No, that's not the inference. The inference is that states like OH, PA and CA voted for Obama. They voted to continue "the new normal" of high deficits, sluggish growth and high unemployment. The president, who said that the second half of his first term was going to have a laser-like focus on new jobs, was re-elected. So, I hope those folks in states like OH, PA and CA continue to enjoy the new normal.
