Because he had an excess of Acorn votes. Cheaters may win to being with, but they lose in the end.

Funny you should say that..."Joe Six Pack" and "Joe the Plumber" are about as dumb as you can get. Stupid rednecks usually vote Republican.

You have got to be kidding me, Obama is president because he''s a "good talker" now if that don''t sound a little scary, get a clue. Half of America is so shameful, if you want to be the greatest nation on earth, CLEAN IT UP! Make it PRO-LIFE, get people off the streets, eliminate poverty, and for crying out loud read the bible, oh I forgot we''re such a melting pot of religions.....THE HOLY BIBLE!!! God will not strike you down, he loves us all, but obviously half of America is lost.

I am tired of hearing that Obama won because he is black. He won the popular vote of Americans, all AMERICANS.
Yes, black, asian, spanish and whites. Some for different reasons, yes because he is black, but on the whole he won because AMERICA wanted change. People act like he is a savior, he is just a man, who ran at the right time, if he was on the GOP ticket he would not of won. Everything I listen to is about a race in a race. For me he is not the right man for the job, his background is very scary.
Yes like McCain said he has made history because he is black, but all AMERICANS made history by putting FAITH in him.
I hope that he does not turn this country into socialism or a one world country. I love America - this America - the America that is the one true red, white, and blue.

Obama won because he took time away from his Senate responsibilities for two years to campaign. He spent close to a billion dollars running. He gave (and in some cases had all of us give) untold millions to Acorn. Why such an effort to ''get out the vote'' is required is beyond me. Forget about Micky Mouse not being able to vote. BS! At my voting place he absolutely could have. All that was asked was last name, address, and month/day of birth. The address did not have to even be real. Why a Social security card is not required just shows how corrupt this all is. Obama won because he promised ''a check'' to the poor. (citizens or not). And what was the swing? Two percent! hahaha Yeah, a real ''mandate'' there. haha

Prediction; News will come by March that Obama ''reluctantly'' (just like Clinton) has to raise all of our taxes. Nice going sheep, good job!

Thanks to Bushoccio for exposing the sick and failed right wing ideology so that Obama could win along with many more reps and senators.

The good news is that he will be able to add to the majority for the next 8 years and have influence for decades. He will make Bushoccio and the sick GOP look like the utter fools and failures that they are. GO BARACK!!!!!!!!!!!
