The 538 members of the Electoral College, not the popular vote, actually elect the president of the United States.

It is also created in great honor, tribute and respect to the United States of America, and the American Dream that all men are created equal. On Nov 4th we all made History, and affirmed Dr. Martin Luther King's dream that a man or woman should not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. And that everyone regardless of their race, gender, color or creed, can be awarded and partake of the same opportunities of all Americans, and enjoy the fruits of success from which it brings. I am truly proud of Barack Obama, and I am also proud to be an African American at this historic event in our American history. I am equally proud of America, because I can see that the old America is slowly changing, and the hate and racism of its bitter past is dying, as all those who were active instruments and participants of hate and brutality among others, and that goes for both Black and White. Side by side both white and black stood together, marched together, bled together, were arrested together, and sadly some even died together to forward this great cause for change in America. And I believe that this is ...
http://www.prisonplanet.tv/ http://www.infowars.com/ PART TWO Former Governor Jesse Ventura rides along with Alex Jones to discuss his analysis of the two-party grasp of the 2008 Elections. Ventura brings up Ross Perot's unprecedented 19% of the popular vote in 1992, prompting a 1996 bipartisan black-out on Perot's challenge to Clinton & Dole. He challenges voters to reject the 'horse-race' voting mentality and instead vote for the person best put in public position. The former governor also shares his experiences in challenging the official government story on 9/11 and highlights the parallels between the post-9/11 United States and the Nazi-propaganda that urged its citizenry not to challenge its leaders, to obey its policies and to sacrifice for the causes of the state. Afterwards, Alex and Jesse arrive at Willie Nelson's ranch and join the music legend.
