Had the captain of the ill-fated RMS Titanic done the right thing instead of the noble thing many more souls might have been saved. He ordered the women and children to the lifeboats and thus failed to use the able-bodied men to create floating islands which could have saved many more lives than the limited lifeboats.
Sir, it is understandable that you have chosen to do the noble thing and ignore Mr. Trump’s impugning the integrity of the 2016 Presidential Election before and after votes were cast.
That is not the right thing. I believe that you feel that you are doing the noble thing and that is to prevent the American people from finding out the truth about our election system because you have little faith in the American people’s ability to hear the truth. You fear that they will not trust the system. Sir, Mr. Trump made it quite clear that had the election results been different he would have explained in detail how voting actually works because he would have trusted the American people to demand accountability.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly given you an opportunity to create a legacy that neither he nor future historians can re-write. This is your moment for greatness. You have an opportunity to propose a verifiable national election system based on the deficiencies of our recent election that Mr. Trump exposed. That will be your gift to the nation and will exceed everything you did in office.
Mr. Obama, by executive order, you can use your moral authority as President of the United States to demand a full forensic audit of the 2016 Presidential Election to explain to the people that Mr. Trump’s claim that the system is rigged has merit and that it was wrong of you to say that the people have spoken when in fact you have no definitive proof upon which to base that statement. Only a full forensic audit of the 2016 election will show that the men and women did their jobs properly. Only then can you speak with authority and not speculation that the American people have spoken. And only then can you dispute Mr. Trump’s claim that he was deprived of a landslide because millions of illegals voted.
You must briefly explain in terms that future voters will easily understand that, according to the Constitution, the political party in power at the state level controls the voting machinery in each state. They control when people are erased from voting, when and where people can vote, how long voting is permitted etc. But most importantly, they determine the standards for which votes to count. It does not matter how many people vote if their votes don’t count! You must propose a verifiable national system “open to the public” to insure that all votes are accounted for and treated equally so that no future candidate can question the results.
Sir, because time is critical, I suggest that you create the a 2016 Presidential Election Manhattan Project to conduct the forensic audit of the election.
- The 2016 Presidential Election Manhattan Project will be in honor of Mr. Trump for being the first major candidate to expose the problems in our national election system.
- The project’s mission is to conduct a verifiable voter audit within 96 hours of your order.
- To fund the audit, I suggest that you then setup a “go fund me” account to raise the tens of millions of dollars needed to pay for the audit because you know the Congress will not.
- Most importantly, you must setup a federal “I voted” website to compare actual voters to the information provided by the precincts. Yes, a daunting challenge but we are Americans and we can do it!
- Remind the American people in the words of the Honorable Justice Antonin Scalia: There is no Constitutional right for Presidential Suffrage.
- Voting is a privilege that is determined by the legislatures and thus only those whom the state legislatures deem worthy to vote are eligible. Felons, for example, must pay taxes and yet are denied the privilege to vote. That is one of the great ironies in a country founded on the principle of taxation without representation.
Should the states fail to conduct a verifiable audit within the specified time then you must resign having presided over a questionable national election. President Biden will then continue your call for the election audit. He will resign 48 hours later should the audit continue to fail. Speaker Paul Ryan becomes President Paul Ryan.
Sir, you must not let an irrational fear that people will not participate in our democracy deter you from protecting our democratic republic. Just because a man learns how sausages are made does not mean he will stop eating them if he is forced to pay for them. We must pay taxes and we should be given the opportunity to be treated as adults.
Mr. President, your legacy hinges on one word: Mandate! If you allow Mr. Trump’s post–election claim that he was denied a mandate due to millions of illegals voting in the election to stand; his supporters will use his mandate claim to demand that he erase everything that you have accomplished.
Mr. President, you promised us hope but if you do nothing you will leave us with fear. You promised us change but if you do nothing you will leave us with a price too unimaginable to bear for that change. Sir, you must not let Mr. Trump’s challenge go unanswered because if you do your legacy will be erased and you will become the hated man in American history for your failure to act.
So I ask you Mr. Obama: “Sir, did you preside over a rigged election in which millions of illegals voted and denied Mr. Trump his landslide in the popular vote?” If you can not answer then you must resign. Mr. President, don’t be the Captain of our RMS Titanic.
To those in this community who think that I am an alarmist; you are correct. A generation ago the Soviet Union disintegrated, in large part due to the efforts of then President Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan won the cold war. But did he really or are we about to feel Mother Russia’s revenge?
Mr. Trump’s entire campaign was based on dividing the American people and he succeeded. The United States can withstand all foreign enemies. We cannot survive if the enemy comes from within. We still do not know what Mr. Trump’s special relationship is with Russia. Our government and media refuse to tell us. History will not accept Senator Reid’s parting letter as vindication that he warned us. He should have done more.
Members of the community, if you understand exponentiation then you realize that just one component of his campaign will have catastrophic economic consequences: the deportation of millions of people. How can you remove millions of consumers from the economy and expect it to survive? Money from food, housing, utilities, and retail sales would be removed from desperate local economies. How many customers would a store have to loose before it closes? How many customers would a utility company have to loose before it dramatically hikes its rates? There is nothing on the other side of the equation to balance the loss.
What about the domestic terrorists that he will create when he separates men who are required by law to register for selective service from there families? If you are old enough to remember September 11, 2001 then you remember the shock visited upon this nation by just 19 people. Will Mr. Trump bar all Hispanic men from selective service? How intrusive will his search for “illegals” become? Will there be any process to correct errors or will detainees languish in detention centers? Will a special status like “enemy combatants” be created to deprive the detainees of human or civil rights?
I realize that this community loathes speaking with one voice but one question must dominate the American consciousness this week. It must dominate to the exclusion of everything else. Social media, letters to the editor, friends and family, blogs and news sites must ask this question. We must force President Obama to answer it or resign.
“Sir, did you preside over a rigged election in which millions of illegals voted and denied Mr. Trump his landslide in the popular vote?”
No matter how I look at Mr. Trump’s Presidency, I see nothing good. Well, yes I do. Hillary Clinton deprived him of winning the popular vote and thus tampered his mandate. If Mr. Obama fails to accept Mr. Trump’s challenge and order a forensic election audit then Mr. Trump will maintain that he has a mandate, divide the country, and we will suffer the fate of the Soviet Union. Indeed, revenge is a dish best served cold.

I’d like to thank the members of this community for a most interesting experience. It was not positive and it was quite scary. Member after member ignored the basic premise of my diary and deliberately changed the nature and character.
I don’t mind being wrong but I never imagined that people would not actually read the diary before commenting. The diary was not convoluted or complex.
The comments are just shocking. There are no implications that the President conducts elections. I there are no implications that it is anything other than a state function. A President can rescind executive orders if he so chooses and yet one member repeatedly pretended to not understand that prerogative.
To be labeled a troll for correcting false and misleading comments is simply mind blowing. It would have been interesting to discuss the actual contents of the diary. That did not happen.
