Thread: So what are the latest conspiracy theories as to why Barak Obama was elected...

...president? i heard plenty already...whats yours?

His family's rich history of slave ownership:

Obama's ancestors on his white mother's side appear to have been slave owners. William Reitwiesner, an amateur genealogical researcher, has published a history of Obama's mother's family and discovered that her ancestors have a distinctly shadowy past.

Reitwiesner traced Obama's great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall, and found that he owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man. He also found out that Obama's great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.

No conspiracy theory. He just managed to confuse and fool a little over half of the people. If he was so much better than McCain...why did he outspend him by so much and not have a complete landslide? Because half the people know better.
