Don't you think Obama was elected because he was a just celebrity in the public eye?

Before you start b*tchn, i didn't vote for anyone this last election. You know why, because its all media hype, and really the president is elected by the Electoral College and our votes don't really have sh*t to do with who is elected. I also didn't vote because one person really can't change a nation in four years. Change comes with changing America's politicians and policies as a whole, not just one person.

I didn't vote, and I'm going into the military. So, don't give me sh*t. I don't care who is president. I support America simply because I'm an American.
my decision to vote has nothing to do with me supporting america.

i think me being in the military is pretty high up on the list when it comes to supporting america
if you think that me being in the military isn't supporting america. ya'll must be retarded or something.
i'm not f*cking complaining you moron. of course i gave up the right to complain when i didn't vote. because i feel like it takes more than one person to change a f*cking country in four years

Obama was hand selected by George Soros. The media (also in Soros's pocket) crucified his political opponents in Illinois by releasing sealed divorce records and airing personal dirty laundry about them right before election time.

Kinda like how everybody knows Palin spent $250,000 on wardrobe but nobody knows which party controls congress...

Obama cleared the playing field, he fights dirty and his ideas are worthless.

No, I don't think so. But your question has turned into a commentary on your failure to vote. That happened because you felt compelled to mention it in the first place. So you might want to think about not getting so upset that people feel free to comment on it. Be safe, and thanks for being willing to stick your neck out there.

EDIT:
Very impressive Beavis. Nicely to the point and well stated.

Absolutely! I definitely think they used the celebrity tactic to get him into office otherwise he wouldn't have been comparing himself to Paris Hilton, or be on a ton of magazine covers, getting his face placed on a bunch of coins or using the media to win his election for him such as he had.

No. John Kerry was in the military, and in war; George Bush wasn't. Interesting theory you have there. Seems it wasn't too high on the list in 2004.

No, your assumption is built upon the premise that the American people are mostly stupid and therefore easily beguiled, which strikes me more as an excuse to explain why most people didn't vote the way you thought they should have. This reminds of what de Tocqueville wrote in "Democracy in America" when he noted that Americans seemed to have a pathological fear of holding minority political opinions. Instead of admitting that you hold a minority political opinion that most other people have rationally decided they do not support, it is easier for some to believe that the majority must somehow be deficient. This seems to stem from the American belief in the right of the majority.

No, I think he was elected because the majority of Americans voted for him.

I obviously can't speak for other voters, but I certainly don't cast my vote for someone because the freaking MEDIA tells me to. I have a mind of my own and can explain, in great detail, the reasons I voted for Barack Obama. I guarantee you that not one of them has to do with the media or any supposed "agenda" it has.

And if you didn't vote, I'm not interested in your opinion of the outcome of the election or why it was what it was. You gave up your right to complain when you expressed your complete apathy about the welfare of this country by refusing to vote.

And holding out your alleged upcoming military participation as a reason why people shouldn't attack you means that if you are indeed enlisting, you're doing so for YOU, not for America.

I'm not impressed. Take it on the road and sell it somewhere else. You're like those people who give to charity for the sole purpose of getting a tax deduction and then like to claim that their political party is more generous and caring than another.
