(Daily Caller) President Barack Obama said this week "no serious person" would believe the presidential election could be rigged. The President, at a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, went on to attack GOP nominee Donald Trump by saying, "I've never seen in my lifetime or in modern political history any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place." In 2008, however, then candidate Obama was singing a very different tune.
Speaking at a campaign stop at Kent State University in Ohio, Senator Obama said elections in the past had been rigged when he was asked by a supporter, "I would just like to know what you can say to reassure us that this election will not be rigged or stolen?"
As the crowd cheered, Obama answered, "Well, I tell you what it helps in Ohio, that we got Democrats in charge of the machines." The crowd cheered again.
