The article is very dated, but remember Obama, the fool from nowhere was elected is 2008.
How did he get elected? It’s ridiculous that the media ignored the fact that he had ALL his records sealed.
It’s ridiculous that the media have ignored everything that has happened since he was elected. I never believed it before, but there is NO DOUBT that the recipient of the largest amounts of Wall Street donations was bought and paid for by someone.
It happens all the time in Latin America and around the world.
My guess is that he promised lots of goodies--all "free," a mere gift of The Benefactor State's largesse--and low-information voters (as regarding whom, there is no paucity) were very congenial to the idea of their receiving lots of freebies.
