This is my own personal theory, didn't read it somewhere.
I believe that elections have been regularly stolen for the last 15-20 years through changing the totals on electronic voting machines. The poster child for this is the presidential election of 2004, which John Kerry probably won by 3 or 4 million votes, if one believes the exit polls, which have since been banned.

These have been stolen by Republicans for Republicans, so the question is, why let Obama win? My answer:
The powers that did this knew that the big Wall Street crash was in full progress and knew they wanted a big bailout. For all that Obama is black and young and articulate, he was still a mainstream, inside the box thinker who would do what he was told was the "right thing" by the "experts", all ex-wall street hacks.
A Republican could never have gotten away with bailing out a bunch of criminals with taxpayer money, and not punishing a single one, without raising a howl of protest from most of the country, but Democrat Obama, young, inexperienced Obama, confronted with a major disaster requiring major response in his first days in office, was the patsy who would take the heat for rescuing a bunch of criminals who deserved to be ______(you fill in the blank), another Democrat cleaning up the Republican mess, as did Clinton after Reagan-Bush, as did Roosevelt after Hoover.
That's my take on it.
