Which amendment makes it possible that a presidential candidate can lose the popular vote but still win the electoral vote?
This phenomenon is not due to any amendment. Amendment 12 changed the procedure for electing the President, but did not actually change the indirect way the President is elected. Popular vote is not mentioned in the Constitution and does not elect directly elect the President and such is the plan in the body of the Constitution.
Why is the direct popular vote the most widely supported plan for reform of the electoral college?
If it really is the most widely supported plan, it is probably because it is the easiest to understand and explain. Direct popular vote is the simplest possible way to hold an election. Unfortunately, it has many drawbacks which is why it is not used to elect the US president.

During the American Civil War, President Lincoln proposed a plan called the 10 percent Reconstruction plan. It was a way for southern states to rejoin the Union.

How does Obama plan to steal the election?
He doesn't. Sadly, both sides will claim there is fraud or that the other side is trying to steal the vote. But there is no evidence to support the assertion that President Obama plans to steal the election. This is a common belief on the part of many Republicans, just as Democrats believed President Bush stole the election or got elected due to fraudulent means.
When did the framers's original plan for the election of the president and vice president first become problematic?
The original plan was the make the person with second most votes for president the vice president. Trouble started brewing at the third presidential election in 1796 when the two main candidates, Adams and Jefferson espoused different views on federal government and political parties began forming in support of these differing views. Once a two-party system evolved, it was clear that the president and vice president would always be from different parties under the original system so the death of a president would result in the losing candidate becoming president.
