13 Reasons Obama Won The Election In 2008

Although there was no one single cause that was enough to assure the victory of an inexperienced and outright socialist, here are 13 contributing factors that in combination helped Obama win the Presidency.

1:  The Economy. Despite the fact that Obama's favorite voter fraud organization, ACORN, was the root cause of the economic collapse, Obama was able to fool most of the electorate that it was the fault of the Bush administration.

2: the Anti-Bush Effect. Usually dislike of a candidate is not enough to cause one to go out and vote for the opposition but the hatred for George Bush has been growing these past 8 years until it became so rabid that voters came out against anyone even in the same party as Bush. Witness the loss of so many House and Senate seats to appreciate the anti-Bush effect.

3:  ACORN (with the help of millions of dollars from the Obama campaign) registered tons of new voters. Guess who most of these tended to vote for?

4:  McCain is old. Obama is not. Many young people are mentally unable to vote for anyone older than 65 years. Obama received votes from more than two-thirds of the under-30 crowd.
Young voters do not have concerns about the future and so even if they knew that Obama would cause the country to collapse, it would not worry them since they think in terms of one-year windows.

ACORN also registered many new voters under 30 knowing that most young people tend to vote Liberal. If Obama had run as a conservative he would not have fared as well with young people. Winston Churchill once observed: "Anyone who isn't a Liberal before the age of 30 has no heart.... and anyone who is still a Liberal after the age of 30 has no brain".

5:  The War on Terror is going well. Whatever George Bush is doing he's doing it too well. We haven't been attacked since 9/11 and so Islamic terror is not on the minds of the electorate. If we were constantly under attack, McCain would have been a better Commander-in-Chief.

6:  Obama received two-thirds of the votes cast by Hispanics nationally. This is almost as high as the black vote and can be attributed to Hispanics wanting government handouts almost as much as blacks.

7:  Obama indisputably has charisma and therefore is credible. When he promised to give tax cuts (welfare checks) to 95% of the population over 65 million voters obviously believed him. A chicken in every pot always works.


8:  Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. It's hard to fight national ridicule. On the other hand, Obama was off-limits for any genuine bashing since it would have been perceived as racially motivated. Perhaps now that he's elected we may see some decent attempts at black humor directed against him, although it is too late for this election.

9:  The Oprah Winfrey Effect.

10:  The MSM gave Obama a pass regarding his association with sixties radical terrorist Bill Ayers, his friendship with the racist anti-American Rev Jeremiah Wright, and Barack's education under many of his communist mentors. Certainly if a conservative had had friends who were members of the KKK the MSM would have been relentless in their pursuit of the story.

11:  The Internet. Obama milked it like no one else. The skills he learned as a community organizer from Bill Ayers really helped here.

12:  He raised almost 700 million dollars ($150 million in September alone) and outspent McCain in every venue. This was no doubt the most expensive Presidential campaign in history. It may be the last time any candidate ever opts for a taxpayer-paid system.

13:  He's Black. Yes, I know Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988 offered himself as a candidate for the Democratic Party presidential nomination but he never actually became a candidate. But regardless, Jesse Jackson is such an idiot that even if he were white he wouldn't win the Presidency. I estimate that 17,384,250 blacks voted this year of which 16,515,037 voted for Obama. That's 95 percent of the black vote. This was enough in key states to put Obama over the top.

Disclaimer: I voted for Obama although not for any of the 13 reasons above. I believe Americans need a lesson in socialism. Once they learn - no one will ever vote for a socialist again.

Too bad this concept NEVER works.

The more sheeple who become dependant on big government, (aka Socialism) the less likely they are to vote for a party that believes in self reliance imho.

So that fool voted for Obama to teach us all a lesson and now America is buried in debt with no chance of ever getting out.

Well, he admits he's a mean old crotchety bastard and doesn't have a hell of a lot of respect for anyone, let alone young kids.

This dude fired everyone in his company that voted for Obama.  LOL

There is a passion in the human heart that is called aspiration. It flares with the noble flame, and by its light Man has traveled from the caves of darkness to the darkness of outer space. But when this passion becomes lust, when its flame is fanned by greed and private hunger, then aspiration becomes ambition-by which sin the angels fell.

4)I have learned that its best not to get me started on McCain but suffice it to say that among the 8479 reasons there were NOT to nominate him, especially against Obama, the fact that he was the oooooollllllllllddddddddeeeeeeessssssttttttttt fart in the fucking room sure as hell didn't help and while this particular reason has much to compete with, it ranks among the top.  Anyone over 40  who is not a Rock Star, a cellphone, a tattoo or a body piercing, who has attempted to get the attention of a twenty something can tell you that McCain's age eliminated him even from consideration.  The candidates could have exchanged parties positions and talking points and Obama would still have beaten McCain's corrupt, sellout ass among the younger voters.

5)To this day, I do not understand nor I predict will Historians ever grasp why virtually no one has recognized the enormous accomplishment of the Bush administration when it comes to defending the 48 contiguous states, Alaska,Hawaii US military bases and embassies abroad from a second attack.  I personally believe this accomplishment ranks over and above the moon landing, the Manhattan Project, and the Marshall Plan as signature achievements of government.  Considering the technologies available today it is incredible to think that not a single Al Qaeda attack was ever carried out in the US after the US response.  The Bush Doctrine, literally worked itself out of a job. To this day I believe that if it hadn't worked as well as it did, if we had continued to sustain attacks in this country, the nation would have RUN not walked to the polls to vote for John McCain.  Nobody thought of Obama as a "war President."  He got votes because, especially after the surge, people thought the war was over...

6)FWIW to anyone, this does not jibe with my personal experience of growing up with hispanics in Southern California.  They are a hardworking peaceful people that spoil their children rotten.  Their women are also totally hot but that's another story for another thread.

9)The Oprah Winphrey effect.  "Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama."  To see where this leads, observe my avatar.

Also, McCain is a gimp.  He can't even type on a keyboard.  How can you have a President who can't even type?

If that was a subtle reference to his war record that's fine, but he wasn't owed the Presidency for it.

No, it was a mimicry of the Libs when they were justifying voting for The Black Guy.

Personally, I have branded McCain a traitor to the United States decades ago for divulging "fly over plans" to the North Vietnamese.

He was unfit to be the President of the United States.  Obama was actually a better candidate for President and he could have done this country a world of good, but he is an inexperienced amateur and doesn't know what he is doing.

Dumb ass! Jesse Jackson campaigned for the presidency. So did Al Sharpton, Shirley Chisolm before him, Carol Mosely Braun, Arthur Fletcher, and Alan Keyes in the republican party.

Obama won because he was the better candidate with better ideas.  It's called winnig on merit. Something you would know nothing about, you whining POS.

Really?

Which ideas?  How to be elected with no experience?

[IM2]

Yada. Yada and more yada. You need to go find a snickers bar because you are turning into a diva.

Since white pricks like you think its so damn easy being black, that we are handed so much fucking shit for nothing, then why don't you take your punk ass to the store, buy some tan in a can, and soak yourself in it. Then go buy an afro wig, or do the bald head and then try to live.

Whining ass mother ------. Obama won because he was the better candidate.
