The problem with all thinking like this is that it takes the most far-out possibility and claims that that is the reality. So yes there is a 1 in a million chance the brits did this for Obama. To ignore the fact that this is hugely unlikely and grab onto it as the reality is what I called "stupid". 

That is like ignoring the time your bus is scheduled to come by and going with the possibility that your bus will be 30 minutes late and showing up at the bus stop exactly 29 minutes after the scheduled time. 

anyhow I still don't get how this is brilliant 3d chess!
