Obama was elected due to the media being in the tank for him. Had the electoral college done its job, they would have overriden the popular vote and elected McCain. Obama is the first President to have a higher unemployment rate when running for re-election than when he first came into office. [/quote] the media have NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER< if they did, they would carry how bad this system is to start with. They must carry what they are given to carry. [/quote] There's always a choice. The media chooses to accept money for favorable coverage. CNN [b]insiders have admitted to fabricating favorable stories for democrats[/b]. They are the problem. [/quote] and so has fox news for republicans. but they get a pass from you. moral of the story kids? don't believe ANY of the mainstream media despite what this dip shit says [/quote] I have not seen any former Fox employees say that they were paid to fabricate stories for the right. However, former CNN employees have. Besides, it is the MSM who is so heavily in the tank for the left that the tank has tipped over. [/quote] again facts would help your argument: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/02/11/fox-news-employee-stuff-up/ [/quote]

The reason that our founding fathers put in an electoral college was to prevent people like Obama from being elected. They knew that the media would hype someone that was not truly worthy of serving so the idea of having an electoral college make the final decision was put in. If the electoral college had worked, they would have overridden the popular vote and elected McCain.
Obama had no managerial experience coming into the election in '08. None. That means that even a drive-thru manager would have been more qualified than Obama. The toughest job in the world has been said to be President of the US. How does someone with no managerial experience manage a country? How does someone with a drug background get elected? How does someone connected to terrorists get the nod? These and many more questions should have been addressed by the media. Instead, they hyped Obama as the Second Coming. Obama's shady background should have caused the electoral college to override the popular vote and elect McCain. Since they didn't, there is no point to keeping it in place.
