How in the world did Obama ever get elected?

[EvertonFC2010]

Just LOL @ ppl that voted for him. Look at what he's doing to the US.

Especially with such brilliant slogans like "change" (isn't that what homeless people ask for?) and "yes we can" Just LOL @ electing a community organizer for President.

Reasons why Obama is ruining the US:

1. More debt than all previous presidents combined
2. Loss of freedom
3. Increased taxation
4. Benghazi scandal
5. IRS scandal
6. Cuba scandal
7. Funded "moderates" in Syria that turned out to be ISIS in disguise!!

Edit 2:

LOL @ this Liberal "intellectual":

Gas prices are down since Obama took office.

[Desi_guy]

He is a horrible public speaker.

[UGK4lyfe]

Ironically, I never see anyone ask these questions about Bush even though he was quite possibly... nah scratch that, by far the worst president in US history. How did HE get elected? TWICE!

The election of the President and the Vice President of the United States is an indirect vote in which citizens cast ballots for a slate of members of the U.S. Electoral College; these electors in turn directly elect the President and Vice President. Presidential elections occur quadrennially (the count beginning with the year 1792) on Election Day, the Tuesday between November 2 and 8,[1] coinciding with the general elections of various other federal, states and local races. The most recent was the 2012 election, held on November 6. The next election will be the 2016 election, which will be held on November 8, 2016.

The process is regulated by a combination of both federal and state laws. Each state is allocated a number of Electoral College electors equal to the number of its Senators and Representatives in the U.S. Congress.[2] Additionally, Washington, D.C. is given a number of electors equal to the number held by the smallest state.[3] U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College.

Under the U.S. Constitution, each state legislature is allowed to designate a way of choosing electors.[2] Thus, the popular vote on Election Day is conducted by the various states and not directly by the federal government. Once chosen, the electors can vote for anyone, but – with rare exceptions like an unpledged elector or faithless elector – they vote for their designated candidates and their votes are certified by Congress, who is the final judge of electors, in early January.

The nomination process, including the primary elections and the nominating conventions, was never specified in the Constitution, and was instead developed by the states and the political parties. This too is also an indirect election process, where voters cast ballots for a slate of delegates to a political party's nominating convention, who then in turn elect their party's presidential nominee.

Especially the 2nd term when we saw what a cluster-f*** the Iraq war turned out to be.

Moyes>Everton

[3PeriodBrah]

95% of black voters voted for him solely because he was black

[meremortal]

lol everyone hates on the president like he's the one causing all the problems.

I'm familiar with the electoral college brah...

After bush, a good looking potato could have been elected.

[EvertonFC2010]

bush was gangster brah...he restored the US to alpha male status and restored its standing at the top

Ironically, I never see anyone ask these questions about Bush even though he was quite possibly... nah scratch that, by far the worst president in US history. How did HE get elected? TWICE!

[GenghisBro]

Because he was black. If he didn't run Hilary would've probably won.

[Treme]

He is a horrible public speaker.

Are you trolling? I would disagree. If anything this contributed to him being elected.

OP, a lot of elections go the way of the more "likable" candidate. The populous knew he was generally inexperienced, but weighed his personality, being the first ever african-american president, and social agenda (gays rights, etc) above that. Additionally, people largely placed the blame of the recession solely on George W. and conservatives which as unfair as blaming our doubling of the national debt on Obama.

[cheapWiFi]

The brand he and his organizers created is the reason he was elected twice. Back in 2008, most people I talked to didn't know why they were voting for him, it was mostly because that's who you should be voting for if you're young and you want to be perceived as liberal. I still can't believe that Nobel prize, but again it's all about the image and the brand he created.

[FearThisjake]

he's a racial divider

there are things that the president of the united states needs to keep his personal opinion out of

Lol at thinking Bush is worse than Obama , Obama took what Bush started and made it ten times worse . Also the second time he was a war time president so that explains the 2nd time . Not a fan of Bush btw but jesus christ let it go he's gone .

[gibbypoo]

Obama took what Bush started and made it ten times worse.

Proof?

[KennyK]

95% of black voters voted for him solely because he was black

Just like they did for presidents jesse Jackson, Herman Cain an d Alan Keyes.

[EvertonFC2010]

seriously worried for Ameribrahs

[VagnerLove]

this, Bush was literally waking dog chit

[blckndyllw]

Did you see who the Republicans put opposite to him? An 80 year old man who showed he's losing it by choosing Sarah Palin as his vice President

And then a rich guy who showed he's the typical out of touch, rich lives matter right politician when he ostracized half the country on tape.

Ironically, I never see anyone ask these questions about Bush even though he was quite possibly... nah scratch that, by far the worst president in US history. How did HE get elected? TWICE!

this, when the next President turns out to be the worst ever I'll pretend Obama never happened like conservatives do with Bush.
