The Obama Voter: The New Stupid

Alright, I have to do something here. I have been circling my blog like a wary animal circling a fire for a few days now. I haven’t responded to comments – and I will, my apologies – haven’t done much other than listlessly peruse a file of posts that have been lingering in various stages of composition. I will get back in the saddle here tomorrow, just going thru some post election blog lethargy.

But, this video is interesting. It won’t surprise you, but will surely amaze and dismay you. It wasn’t an election. It was a freaking American Idol contest. The Obama voter is the new stupid.

From the site How Obama Got Elected

On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama’s limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple… the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job.

On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not.
