Was Obama elected?

I think it is really the media. The media has protected Obama from negative press and in fact, offered excuses for him, making them up themselves. It's one thing to report the White House excuse, but they actually go out of their way to excuse his actions and to vilify anyone who opposes him. None of the stories that I listed below can be found on CNN, for instance. There are so many things that the majority of the public simply are not aware of. For this reason, they won't be up in arms or demanding answers and they will think you're crazy if you do.

You may very well be right. And if people don't hear it on CNN and ABC and so on, they think when we speak up about it, we're "conspiracy nuts." I don't know what is to be done.

"When I vote I have to give my ID and my name is checked off on a printed roster of voters." I was going to pull a Sir Rant-a-Lot in my own post here, saying the same thing about ID, but I'll piggyback (read: troll ) yours. I walked into the high school where the took care of the nonsense this year, and it was like walking into DMV hell squared. But the lines and waiting times weren't long because it was dysfunctional. They had their stuff together. Single file, be quiet, have your ID ready, step to the front of one of two lines, let them make sure you're good to go, get your ballot, handle your biz, GTFO. If they can do that here, why not everywhere? My town is fairly mixed. There were more black folks there than white folks or Latinos. But there weren't any special interest groups holding the place hostage or moaning about fairness or anything. They were just running a tight ship. And as far as I know, there weren't any Republicans in high places trying to keep Dems out, or Dems in high places trying to throat-stomp Reps.

Matersfish, I just assume, perhaps wrongly, that your polling place and mine are the norm. If that's not true, there should be legal action taken. I have never voted anyplace--and I've voted in 3 states in my life--where my ID wasn't checked and it would be impossible to vote more than once. For voting fraud to happen it would have to be in collusion with state and federal government agencies, wouldn't it? And wouldn't there be a paper trail and ample proof of the crime? I'm not doubting that voter fraud takes place, anything is possible with this corrupt system we have (still the best in the world and that's a sad statement). I have just never been anywhere that made it possible and I wonder how it is done.

I suppose rogue outfits could attempt--do attempt, rather--to hijack elections without higher approval or collusion. And I also suppose that it's often attempted for any election. Personally, I think it comes down more to who wants to be the person telling the NAACP that they can't be inside a polling outfit. Who wants to be the person crying foul when they know their name will be mud after? Maybe the scum who want to cheat realize this. If it's anything done under Obama or Obama's name, even if it's in no way tied to Obama himself, it's going to be either ignored or widely discredited and contested. The person making the accusations is instantly labeled as, well, I've already read what Rollo was called. That's what people have to deal with when attempting to shine light on these matters. But all of that is under the assumption that we're dealing with some Obama-nuts-gone-rogue election tamperers. If it were sanctioned by anyone higher up, be it counties or states, I think there would definitely be some type of paper trail: email correspondence, someone with audio/video for extorting purposes captured via phone call or eating, etc, or memos coming from higher places. It's not like anyone would ever investigate it though. It would just go away like 2008's voter intimidation thing. I do think the voting experiences we had are the norm. I'm not sure if there's enough tampering to actually change the Presidential vote from Romney to Obama. Even still, the people tampering need to face the music.

It is not a surprise that some of Obama's most vocal supporters are from other countries. And it doesn't surprise me that following something like the events of September 11, 2012, that I would be called a greater terrorist threat. In fact, I expect that sort of thing from liberals in the UK. However, supported statements (and there is much more): http://colorado.mediatrackers.org/2012/09/04/colorado-counties-have-more-voters-than-people/ So far this morning, Democratic operatives prohibited 75 legally credentialed Republican election workers from accessing polling places in heavily Democratic areas in Philadelphia. Incidents ranged from judges of elections refusing to seat Republican Minority Inspectors and Clerks, to reports of Democratic election operatives announcing that “No Republicans will be allowed in the polling place.” As a result, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania petitioned the Court to issue formal orders to force Democratic judges of elections to seat Republican minority inspectors and clerks. The Court said that they will issue around 6-12 Orders with approximately 6 – 10 names per Order. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/11/06/judge-issuing-order-to-reinstate-booted-philadelphia-election-officials/ Gertrude Walker, Supervisor of Elections for St. Lucie County, said she is not sure why the Election Summary Report lists "Cards Cast" as 141%. "They may have had something like that in Palm Beach County, but we've never seen that here," she said. http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/region_st_lucie_county/st-lucie-county-election-results-posted-after-hours-of-delay#ixzz2BuzknHPk At a Houston polling place, the NAACP showed up and took over, handing out bottles of water, wearing NAACP labeled clothing and actually moving certain people from the back of the line to the front of the line. A poll worker who reported this was told to "stand down" and even though campaigning within 100 feet is illegal, they were allowed to campaign inside the polling place. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/11/03/breaking_naacp_takes_over_polling_station_advocates_for_president_obama_at_houston_polling_location While completely expected, your comment is uninformed and springs from the general worship of Obama by foreigners who ought to be more concerned with the near-collapse of their own government instead of trying to spread the disease of socialism.

Oh and one more thing: http://www.truethevote.org/news/how-widespread-is-voter-fraud-2012-facts-figures The true figures on voter fraud.

You missed the point that in Pittsburgh, several Republicans were ordered by a judge to be removed from the front of a polling place where they were trying to stop democrats from voting by questioning voters in line.

I think that a lot of people wanted him to be a good president, wanted us to have proof that we were right to choose him. It's a very depressing thing for our first black president to have failed. But he didn't fail because he is black, he failed because he is a radical socialist progressive with no qualifications to be president and policies that are not good for America. For some, it is impossible for them to let go of that dream that they envisioned, and so they re-elected him in order to validate their first vote.

If you added some real news sources to your bookmarks and delete the HuffPo and the Daily Kos, you might start to hear some of what is really going on in the world. It might cause you great distress though, after living in a liberally-induced progressive hallucination.

First, he received over 99% of the vote in districts where GOP inspectors were illegally removed. Next, he won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland. Well, he's gotten another lucky break! Mr. Obama won Wood County in Ohio this year. That's right, Mr. Obama won the majority of Wood County's 108% of registered voters. That's not a typo. In 2012, 106,258 people in Wood County are registered to vote out of an eligible 98,213. Secretary of College Democrats Morgan Holliger chimed in, "We won Wood County, we won Ohio." Mr. Obama did indeed win Wood County, along with its 108% of voters.

No Republican interpreters were present, according to these volunteers. http://theulstermanreport.com/2012/10/27/ohio-voter-fraud-reports-now-circulating/

According to the census bureau, in 2011 there were 110560 voters eligible for registration in Wood County, Ohio -- 126,355 residents total, of whom 12.5% are under age 18. That's 87.5% of the eligible population registered.(http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/39/39173.html) In the 2012 election, 62,338 votes were cast in Wood County, Ohio -- 57.7% of the registered population. (http://www.co.wood.oh.us/boe/Election%20Results%20Final%20Unofficial.htm) Of those votes, 31,596 were cast to reelect President Obama. Where do you, or rather where does familysecuritymatters.org get the 98213 figure? The link you cite gives no sources.

And UN workers observing election were amazed we don't have ID laws. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/11/06/un_poll_watchers_baffled_us_doesnt_require_id_to_vote
