No no, it was because "minorities want free stuff".
Obama successfully smeared the opposition. No Republican opposed or opposes birth control, but the Obama campaign, which includes the media, was able to sell the lie that Republicans would outlaw birth control. Mitt Romney never murdered anyone, but the Obama campaign, which includes all media except Fox, repeated the lie for months.
This was a campaign of extreme demagoguery. Obama used Goebbels playbook and smeared the opposition. Romney made a serious mistake of trying to appeal to reason. We are a nation of Family Guy and Jon Stewart. We are not a rational or reasonable people - we thrive on shit spewing. Obama and his army of little Goebbels spewed an unending stream of shit, which America lapped up.
Our corrupt media plays a huge part. We rightfully slam Donal Trump for his idiotic birther shit: BUT the murder accusations by Obama are a thousand times worse, yet our corrupt propaganda corps reports it as if it were fact.
The lesson of this election is that the nastiest, filthiest, and most dishonest campaign wins.
