Obama was recently sworn in for his second term of his US presidency. During the presidential race, so much time was wasted by the political pundits trying to predict winners and then analyze results, that it’s really simple and easy to explain why Obama would be and is the eventual winner:
- He is a major political party candidate. This automatically garners you the die-hard (close-minded) democratic base who will vote for any warm-body voted to be their candidate. Their bigotry will allow you to automatically receive their votes before any debates or campaigns even begin.
- He is African American decent and is “black enough” to pretty much guarantee 99% of all black voters. I’m sure he nearly received 100% of black women voters. (if you’re offended, keep reading as it gets better).
- He is bi-racial and “white enough” to not scare off white people, but in fact empower them to prove they are not racist and to feel trendy by supporting and voting for Obama. You combine this with the fact that he is fairly young and energetic, he pretty much locks up a majority of the young white vote.
- Since he is bi-racial, he automatically garners support from other non-white ethnic groups (e.g. Hispanics) who will mostly provide automatic support to other fellow minority candidates (for good measure, it helps when you promise amnesty for illegals).
- Entitlement programs are on the rise and there are more Americans than ever receiving some form of government assistance. There are 47 million citizens receiving government handouts. This number has risen the most while Obama has been the president. And what better strategy to secure re-election by increasing the number of people dependent on you. This was done deliberately. Socialism wins you the votes of those who receive its benefits.
I found many varying statistics, but in general, Obama received ~66 million votes to win the 2012 election (receiving ~51% of the vote). The following sample results corroborates the above 5 points (I’m assuming other states’ results are more or less in-line).
