Why Obama Won't Be Elected, page 1

You anti Obama bots can be thankful for Microsoft's efforts to prevent Obama from being re-elected. You want to know why?

Halo 4 will be released November 4th.

That means that Obama will lose a sizable portion of his voting base because they will be too busy playing Halo rather than voting.

So my hat's off to Microsoft for this new tactic of distracting the obama bots who will blindly vote for him!

Edit:

This is not meant as a joke. There are plenty of people out there who believe this. Here's but one example:

www.gamepolitics.com...

When Microsoft decided to pick November 6, 2012 as the release date for Halo 4, did they take into account that the date is actually pretty damned important to the future direction of the country for the next four years? Probably not - in fact the thought probably never crossed their minds - but by choosing that date have they given gamers in the 18 - 34 age group an excuse to be more apathetic about voting than usual?

The latest episode of The Escapist's The Big Picture with Movie Bob - to your left - explores the possibilities and makes some interesting points about how huge entertainment releases such as Halo 4 can have unintended consequences on other things going on in the world.

Some might argue that young voters will likely skip their civic duties in November anyway and that they are a demographic that most politicians would politely say are "unreliable." I want to believe that in the age of CISPA, NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, and other legislation that the youth vote will decide that is more important to stand in a line to vote than it is to stand in a line to be the first to get Halo 4 - or at the very least stand in both lines.
We'll see.

So I would appreciate it if the mods would move this back to the General Conspiracies section. Thank you.
