Not everyone in America was “Go-bama”.

A gay man from Florida ended his own life after mounting bills and the re-election of Barack Obama became way too much for him to take.

64-year-old Henry Smith Hamilton Jr. was found dead by police in an apparent suicide almost two weeks ago. The Key West businessman, who gave to many AIDS charities, had been “distressed” about his business failing and left behind a copy of his will on his bathroom sink, which had the added note, “Do not revive! F*ck Obama!”

If Barack gets re-elected, I’m not going to be around,” Hamilton had said to his partner of 11 years, Michael Cossey.

Hamilton had been battling depression for some time. Bottles of Xanax and other anti-depressants near him, but aren’t sure if ingesting them led to his death. Autopsy results are pending.
