In recent days I learned of the existence of ‘Grey Thursday’ and now ‘Cyber Monday’. I don’t find the terms to be offensive ones or degrading to our foregoing Thanksgiving holiday. In 1941 a law was passed by US Congress begetting the 4th Thursday of all future Novembers as Thanksgiving Day in order to accommodate holiday shopping. Readers are welcome to look further into this matter on their own if they feel compelled to do so as I don’t want to go too far off into it all here on our WasObamaBornInKenya blog.
I recently received a question from our favorite Obot ‘Great Kim’ aka ‘Mik Taerg’ who has electronically pursued, trailed and shadowed me in the cyber world from the outset in 2009. Their recent question:
“Hi Lucas, glad to see you back. What is your take about the election ? In your opinion, why did Obama win ?“
My answer:
Thanks. I don’t expressly know but I assume its very possible that Obama won because there was (and is) a plethora of individuals, of all colors and ethnicities, in the United States of America who voted for him. Something like 3 million more people than the number of people who voted for that Mormon guy named Ron or whatever his name was.
Although I do fervently concede that voter fraud and even glitches (computer error) in the voting system itself could affect the outcome of a presidential election (including 2012, those in modern history and those still to come).
One of my favorite movies, ‘Man of the Year’ (2006) (in my top 100), addresses these glitches in the voting system and provides insight into the egregiously malign depths and lengths that can be taken to cover up the such glitches in the tallying of votes for US President.
In ‘Man of the Year’ a woman named Eleanor (an employee of a voting machine company named ‘Delacroy’) discovers a computer error in counting votes for US President and subsequently, as she is considering revealing to the American public what has happened, is attacked at her home in the mid of the night and injected with a hodgepodge of illegal and illicit drugs. In the following days as she attempts to reveal to other individuals what has happened regarding the computer error in tallying votes for president she is written-off as mental case and/or drug user.
Additional attacks (drugs are not involved) are made on Eleanor in attempts to silence her.
The actress Laura Linney plays the character of Eleanor and other more notable actors with roles in ‘Man of the Year’ include, though are not limited to, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum (The Fly), and Robbin Williams.

In my opinion, Obama won the 2012 presidential election primarily for a combination of the following six reasons, not listed in any particular order:
(1) There was widespread vote fraud, especially by the Democrats, with concentration of their nefarious efforts in the ‘battleground’ states. This was greatly aided by excessively long ‘early voting’ programs and lack of requirements for positive voter identification at the polling stations. Some fraud was no doubt facilitated by high-tech electronic voting machine manipulations. However, a lot of the fraud was most certainly accomplished the old fashioned way with double voting, unregistered individuals voting, dead folks voting, etc.
(2) A large number of military voters seem to have been effectively disenfranchised by the Democrats by use of various methods, such as lost ballots, delays, etc. It is my understanding that the majority of these individuals would have voted for Romney, if given the opportunity.
(3) Obama’s message of ‘giving away free stuff’ appealed to a lot of his base. As Rush Limbaugh stated, “In a country of children where the option is Santa Claus or work, what wins?” Related to this was his message of sympathy for the granting of amnesty and citizenship to many millions of illegal aliens.
(4) Obama has effectively leveraged his minimal ‘black African’ heritage (about 6%?) and convinced an overwhelming percentage of blacks in the U.S.A. to vote for him. This has occurred even though they have been one of the groups most seriously impacted by his economic policies and actions during the last four disastrous years.
(5) The Democrats were far more effective in their ‘get out the vote on election day’ activities than were the Republicans. Apparently, the Republican’s ‘Operation Orca – Get Out the Vote’ software package did not function as anticipated and much time and effort was wasted.
(6) The Republican Establishment ran an extremely inept field of candidates in the primary and selected ‘that Mormon guy named Ron or whatever his name was’ to run against Obama. A lot of potential Republicans voters who were unenthusiastic about the selected candidate, and for very good reasons, simply chose to vote with their fannies in an easy chair at home on election day. I voted for Romney, but reluctantly!
So, who will the Democrats run in 2016? Führer BHO-II for a third term? (We don’t need no stinkin’ law here in the U.S.A. any more!) Wife Michelle? The Hildebeast? Just think of the glorious possibilities!
The Republican Establishment hasn’t learned a damn thing from this POTUS-eligibility/election fiasco so it’s anybody’s guess who they will run in 2016. Jeb Bush? Marco Rubio? Bobby Jindal?
The following 3rd party alternative is a topic that I intend to at least consider, but only with GREAT TREPIDATION!

In my opinion, Obama won because more people voted for him, than Romney.
Thankyou Lucas for answering and even dedicating an entire thread to do so. This election will be analyzed for years and I always am skeptical about hasty and untested explanations. Both from left and right. There hasn’t actually been any gigantic change in the ethnic makeup of the Nation: America is still 74 % white. On the other hand cases of large scale frauds remain hypothetical at best. But something must have happened nevertheless, so what can it be ? When we carefully look at the tons of data and cross tabulations available there is a new element: the poor have started to vote.The ones who have been derogatorily called the takers. This marks the end of the myth (the lie) of a classless society where we all pretend to be the middle class of a bottomless society. It then happens that minorities constitute a large share of the poor. The Republican Party has shifted it’s message from compassionate conservatism to staunch defense of the upper class. Dividing us between takers and makers was a very bad idea since most of us happen to be both takers and makers in different moments.

@ ARNOLD CARL TAPP:
Wrong, Arnold. Still wrong. In Ohio- wrong. Obama received 31,000+ votes in Wood County where there were 106,000 registered voters. There were 98,000 actual eligible voters because the voter rolls had not been purged. In Florida the ballot had 2 sides, so voter participation was 70%.

There was no fraud. Keep trying.
I think this is one of the best birther sites. I commend you Lucas Smith. I disagree with your content, but you present it very well.
Try again Arnold. Do better because your claims are weak and easily disproved. Name calling and caps locking is funny; keep it up.
@ bob:

NOBODY HERE PAYS ANY ATTENTION TO YOUR RANTS , EXCEPT TO LAUGH AND MAKE FUN OF A FOOL WHO REFUSES TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH .

Where? Who? WND; not credible. The Duffel Bag; satire. Where is the evidence of voter fraud? The problem with your position Arnold Cap Lock is that you reach a conclusion and then look for evidence that you are right.
Now, if Lucas Smith does have a valid birth certificate for the President; stating he was born in Kenya, things would change. I have no problem being wrong if the evidence is real. That is what being an American means. Logic, evidence, truth. Concepts that you are unable to comprehend. You are a shrill; with some weird sexual hang ups.
Laugh all you want Arnold. I am not going anywhere. If you lie, which you will, I will call you on it ( Communists and Muslims aren’t on the same team, even if both are “enemies”. Get a basic understanding of the world before you spew nonsense. If you are a true American you support the office. Grow up
