Flashback… Barack Obama in 2008: “I Tell You, It Helps in Ohio that We Got Democrats in Charge of the Machines” (Video)

A new video popped up this week of Barack Obama campaigning at Kent State University during the 2008 election.

Obama told the crowd in Philadelphia, Ohio, that it was good that Democrats control the election voting machines.

Barack Obama: “I tell you what, it helps in Ohio that we got Democrats in charge of the machines. But look, I come from Chicago so I want to be honest. It’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past, sometimes Democrats have too. Whenever people are in power they have this tendency to try to, you know, tilt things in their direction.”

That was back in 2008. Today the elections are a total farce in America.

Obama won Ohio in 2008 and 2012. Since then the bellwether state has voted solidly Republican.

Here is the saved video if it happens to be deleted on Twitter.
