this man is the President because a majority of people were tricked by his lies
This man is the president because large numbers of people saw him as:
- the best guarantee that an increasing amount of American wealth would be channeled to them through government action.
- the way to relieve their UMC success-angst, and show they had post-racial sophistication and moral superiority.
- the way to show how much they hated Bush-44 (who wasn't even running).
- a way to demonstrate their world-citizen mentality.
- an answer to all the evil things democrats said America had done and become.
- a smarter, smoother type of president, which suited their image of themselves.
- only the chief executive, not as an integral component of a three-branched government established by a Constitution they only vaguely understand or care about.
And because a large number of people care so little about their liberty or their country, that they sat on their a$$es instead of getting out and voting agaisnt him.

If I really thought my countrymen were that stupid.
OTOH...
Slight correction: The majority of people were tricked by the media who propagated his lies.
We must never let the media off the hook. They failed in their job to give us the truth. They are responsible to a large degree.
They are traitors too.
