Fixed Elections?

So, President Obama called Trump's claims of a potential "rigged election" preposterous and "unprecedented."  Maybe he meant a candidate "whining" about "a rigged election."  Obama said no credible historian or student (or something like that; I have forgotten his exact words) has ever made such a claim.  Trump's "whining" is "not based on facts."

I've noted before that I don't think Obama is very well-educated, despite the degrees he supposedly possesses.  He might want to think about his statements.  Does he know about the Illinois results in the 1960 Presidential election?  Richard Daly reminded his voters to "vote early and vote often."  Nixon was even urged by some folks to contest the Illinois results in court.  How about the Democrats' "whining" about the 2000 election?  I wonder if Obama considers the DNC undermining of the Bernie Sanders' campaign "rigging."  How about the New Black Panthers intimidation of voters in Philadelphia in '12?   Maybe I'm the only one who finds Obama's comments to be disingenuous, if not ignorant.

I wonder if the news media will eat up Obama's words and tell us how he "really slammed" Trump.  I won't be surprised.

Tie this with what I saw when Karen was watching the Family Feud.  The question was, "On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you trust the federal government?"  The top answer was "2."  Yep......  Yet so many folks just swallow whole what comes out of the President's mouth.
