Obligatory “How Obama got elected” video
Posted on November 18, 2008
Good video and all, but is anyone surprised? You take a spoiled, whiny, uninformed electorate, give them a biased media in the tank for Obama, and this is what you get. A lot of Americans will have buyer’s remorse in the next year or so, because they had no idea what they were voting for. None whatsoever. This video just happens to show it in an entertaining way. These twelve people in the video couldn’t name the political party currently in power in Congress. They didn’t know who Barney Frank, Harry Reid, or Nancy Pelosi is. They didn’t know that Obama bragged about campaigning in 57 states, how he said he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry, or how he won previous elections by getting all of his opponents thrown off the ballot. They didn’t know who Bill Ayers is. They did know, however, that Sarah Palin had a $150,000 wardrobe and that her teenage daughter is pregnant — truly, the important things in choosing who will govern a country, right?
The folks who put on this video then did a Zogby poll and guess what? Similar results. Shocking, I know.
Watch the video. It’s entertaining, and yet a little sickening at the same time.

Wow. Unbelievable but true:) LOLOLOL It will be ironic as this cold winter approaches
that the person who helped to get the pipeline for natural gas that now supplies
15% of our supply from Alaska and Canada,
Sarah Palin, will be and is villified by the people from whom obambi will take their wealth that they need to pay, for heating bills for instance, and redistribute it.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL What else can we do, laugh or cry. Yes we Can! LOLOLOL
The poll illustrates two interconnected issues: the MSM didn’t tell the whole truth, and many of BHO’s opponents were too stupid to tell the whole truth. And, the poll shows that BHO’s opponents are unable to learn from their past mistakes. Details at my name’s link.
I am not surprised, I knew the majority of those that voted for Obama had no clue who or what they were voting for.
Amazing how many ignorant people we have in this country.
They have no idea what they have done.
Your video does very little to convince people that Obama wasn’t the best choice. If you asked 12 McCain supporters questions on the candidates and their positions you would find the same responses. We, as a country, elected Obama because he has the opportunity to become a “good-great ” President and John McCain actions during the campaign-picking Sarah Palin and suspending his campaign to pass the Bailout Bill showed he wasn’t.Let’s give Obama some time before judging him. We are one nation and one people.
Pathetic attempt to characterize Obama supporteres as stupid. You could have asked similar questions to a group of Mccain supporters and got similar answers. Just Pathetic.
This is just a foolish attempt by the “losers” !
You lost suck it up and live with it for next 4-8 years. LOSERS !!
we won fair and square, thats life.
The video is great if you never saw Jay Leno and his “Street Question” bit at 10;35p on NBC. Jay Leno is taking a humorous approach to many Americans lack of insight into their own country!
Some questions:
What exactly is the agenda of this “How Obama Got Elected”? If there is no agenda, then, we, the more informed, ralize that this has always been the case of the group being asked the question for some time. Americans have a right to be unknowledgeable, do they not.
If one were to ask simlar question to the similar social strata as the above respondents of “How Obama Got Elected” then the results will surely be the same.
I agree, pathetic excuse. Why is it that they did not even bother to ask Mccain supporters the same questions, but only Obama supporters. Such whinny losers, you lost, stop trying to find excuses and move on. We on, get over it and stop wasting our time with this nonsense. We the people have a right to vote based on the issues that pertains to us. So stop whinning, this proves how dumb you are for picking 12 people to question, remember 62 million people voted for him
Oh please – what a rediculous article. Clearly there are plenty of uneducated voters in America but as we all know Obama won by far the college educated voters of America. On the whole his supporters are more educated and were more passionate about their candidate. The issues you listed in this article are false, twisted statements that were made during the campaign. You are still talking about those things. Get over it people – your candidate and his running mate lost because they ran an inferior campaign, were more focused on making smears and attacks then they were on coming up with their solutions for the problems our country is facing and they ran a sloppy campaign with a message that changed every day. People are tired of lies, smears and lack of focus. We chose Obama because he was the best candidate. I know that you all will eventually get over being sore losers and you will start to see how competent Obama is and you’ll be so pleasantly surprised at what a great president he is that you’ll eat your hats!!!
Susan, come back to Earth, you are sure to be lonely floating in space.
We and the world all said the exact, exact same thing 8, then again 4 years ago when Dubya was elected. I am so tired of “compassionate Christians” who unmercifully bombed women and children in 2003. I started to make a rejoinder, but absolutely none is requiired if you grasp the bombing.
I think the MSM is not that scientific because it only interviewed 5 or 6 people and never a cross section of the society. The polls however, tell us that majority of those who are educated voted for Obama which comprised the middle class.
I voted for Obama and I knew all the talking points for him and against him, that decided my vote. Now if you want talk about dumb, think about a vp that do not know what that job entails, what is your running mate record, what your party doctrine is. How about a party that only attack the other party and never and I mean never came up with a plan of their own. Stop being a sore loser, just image if we elected McCain/Palin we would have certainly been screwed, if you can’t run a campaign you certain can’t run a country. This article and video just show how stupid and narrow mind your party is. Just keep this up you will be losing for years to come.
Well those of us that did not vote for Obama are genuinely concerned about our nation and the direction it will be going in. If that is considered whining that I guess you can call me a whiner! So Julie I guess the other 48% of Americans who did not vote Obama are losers? So much for that “one nation” chant I keep hearing!
Now having been elected to various offices during my lifetime, I can truly say that the electorate is uninformed, undereducated, uninvolved and yes unfaithful. When Republicans can sell their snake oil one size fits all Tax breaks and personal independence to a bunch of poor folks living on food stamps in a trailer, then you don’t have much room to criticize the Obama voters for they at least know where their bread is buttered. In the battle of Ideas, Republicans have no new ones, so they lost..Boo Hoo,,,As your Supreme Court appointed lightweight Antonio Scalia said when questioned about the party line vote of the Justices that awarded the election in 2000 to GWB,,,,,,,”..Get Over It!..:”
If I am not mistaken Bill Clinton bombed Iraq too. Hmmmm. I think most people have a selective memory. Obama ran a very good campaign with all of the money that he received from private financing (I wonder how much came from overseas? Of course we will never know because he will not get audited like McCain). Of course, he lied and said that he would take public financing like McCain but that is just alright. We really don’t need an honorable President do we?
66 million voted for Obama, but 58 million voted for McCain. That means 46.8% of those 124 million are unhappy with the result. It does not mean we are “sore losers” or “whiners”. In fact, a recent poll showed that Republicans are more likely to be optimistic when their candidate loses than Democrats are when their candidate loses. That merely reinforces the thought that conservatives are more likely to work for what they want, regardless of those in power.
What this video means to show is that the “mainstream” media is (and always has been) biased significantly to the left. The fact that 58 million of us can see through that bias is remarkable in and of itself.
And before you take this elesction as a “mandate to the left”, remember that every gay marriage initiative failed during this so-called “mandate”. America is still a center-right country, no matter what the media would have you believe. Americans will discover, as they did with Bill Clinton, that a slick politician is not the best thing for the country.
Not that McCain would have been significantly better – we have no true “statesmen” left in our country – but an inexperienced radical is not the leadership this country needs. If I had Obama’s money, *I* could become President.
Susan, Rootcrop and others
Go see the Zogby poll that accompanies this video – even though 55% of the respondents have college degrees, a majority did not know which party controlled congress. Just to use this as an example, a Pew survey in 2007 said that 76% of all Americans know which party controls congress. Do the math, to get to 76% as a whole, virtually everyone who voted for McCain would know the right answer.
I think this poll tells us a lot about our education system, not just MSM – what kind of person has a college education but cannot answer these basic questions?

an uninformed electorate?? breaking news!!!that has never happened before, right? um, well, maybe it did in 2004 when the country re-elected George Bush. How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb????? i would write more but i am too busy re-assembling scraps of paper from Dubya’s paper shredder trash bin. i made out one of the words so far, i think it says constitution.
HAHA!!
This is a direct result of Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” educational program. Perhaps you Republican dolts have finally learned what an uneducated American public is capable of when playing the election game like Karl Rove. You have made your bed, no stop whining about having to lie in it… losers.
The ignorance is not what this survey shows about Obama supporters, but the political ignorance of voters in general. Voters should understand the political system & what the candidates are supporting; not voting for who looks good, savy, or else. Truth is, neither Obama or McCain will solve this country’s issues. Only you & I will solve this country’s issues when we stand together & take back our country & govern for the people by the people. Don’t you find it amazing that political candidates are wealthy. When did public service become a path for the rich? Look deep into our political system & you’ll see that the worst is still to come. Our poor children will inherit a destroyed country because we failed to stand together & do what’s right.
if anyone thinks that there are only uneducated voters on one side then they are right in the mix of ignorance. We are supposed to be going around the world teaching people about democracy and setting the example, but conducting campaigns (both sides) in such contempt for the people that are supposedly represented by the elected officials or those that hope to be is an embarassment and a disgraceful way to demonstrate the greatness of having the privelage of the democratic system. It seems that not only our representatives but also many of us easily forget that these elected officials are our voice, but the world does’nt forget. We are the greatest country on earth and we should always act as though the rest of the world is watching, because they are.
just going over all the comments and one jumped at me. Brent, although you obviously were going for witty, it is funny, but not witty, nor does your comment come off without major red flags that scream this guy is so full of it.
You said:
“The fact that 58 million of us can see through that bias is remarkable in and of itself.”
So you are saying that only republicans voting for McCain are capable of knowing when they are having smoke blown up their rear ends by the MSM?

Many many many sinister going-ons folks.
What do you think about the fact that despite Republicans always favoring the wealthy and ignoring the poor, education, health care, etc, to favor wars, those in poor places like Kansas and the midwest bible states always vote Republican?.
Do you know why, because their brains has been infected with something called Religion (mostly Christianity) which slows them as much as a virus would a computer. Even if they have no jobs, no future, no help from the Republicans, they keep voting Republicans for they keep being told in their churches that Democrats and Liberals are anti-God, anti-freedom and will bring Armagedon. I know for I got friends from those places who moved to my area NYC and have told specific stories I wish someday they give me the right to publish to expose the mentally retarded brainwash that happens behind the curtains in the midwest.
What do you think that despite the fact Republicans opposed increasing the minimum salary which could benefit those in the Christian midwest more than say anyone in my area making more $, those from the midwest never failed to be loyal to the boot that kick their asses and vote for Republicans?.
What do you think about the so called family party, GOP or Republicans whose Idaho Senator Craig tried to have sex with an undercover police officer at an airport bathroom or Rev. Haggard -the former national leader of the Evangelicals, a person with bush’s personal number and a White House frequent guest admitted under pressure that he had sex with a male prostitute in Denver even though he lied about having used Crystal Meth illegal drug.
Rev. Haggart is married with wife and 5 children and also responsible for telling the millions of Evangelicals that used to obey him to vote for Bush in 2004, telling those doing the opposite that it was morally wrong to vote for Sen. John Kerry and a sinful thing to do. Get it now?. They got double standards, Do as I say not as I Do, and the stupids that follow their beliefs will vote Republican even if someone like Hitler was running for President. Their brains is one thing they don’t own anymore, but neither they do any common sense and these days when many of them have lost their homes and income, the rich GOP politicians will not do a thing to help them.
Last time I check Republicans have never stopped helping the rich and ignoring the poor. They only remember the poor a few months before Election time. Losers.
My, it appears that if you’re not an obama fanatic you’re a whiney loser. I can see each person interviewed chanting “WHINEY LOSER, WHINEY LOSER” all it would take is someone in the herd to incite them.
Being from Illinois and quite familiar with obama and his record of non acheivement give it a few months then cup your left ear and that every increasing grumbling you hear is the whining of the disenchanted winners.
It’s rather obvious that if you’re a Republican or a Democrat, you can’t see past your party affiliation. Forget those restraints, & you’ll be able to see that past Presidents, VP’s, senators, congressmen, state officials, county officials, city officials, etc. are knee deep in corrupt politics. Again, your party affiliation makes you ignorant. Look at all the “Republican” & “Democrat” politicians that are corrupt & have gotten away with illconcieved practices & become super rich through misuse & misappropriated tax dollars….YOUR tax dollars. Now, why did the democrats vote to keep Joe Lieberman (D) in his affiliation? It wasn’t because they like the fact that he jumped ship & supported McCain; it was so they could keep the super majority. If party affiliation wasn’t important to these folks, Joe would have gotten the boot – that’s crooked politics at the simplest level.
soooooo…this only shows not much people watch Fox news. Even most of the folks who do watch fox news, who voted for McCain would most likely not know the answers to these questions.
sooooooo…regarding the video, two words EPIC FAIL!
The very first post – that pipeline does not supply 15% of our natural gas. It does not exist. It is only on paper. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
Josh, I don’t care about the score card on either side of political party affiliation. They are both crooked & you seem OK with who does the least as being the winner. We’ll never change as a country until you see past that & hold ALL accountable for their actions.
What is absolutely pitiful is the bellicosity with which the Right sought to demonize Barrack Obama. Like bees to honey they seemed stupefied, nay…mesmerized to or by the allure of personally berating the man, and in so doing creating such a contrast that instead made Obama look like a veritable saint.
Now here we are after the elections, the man has not even been sworn in, and here are the same crowd predicting doom and gloom, gleefully projecting the worst. Arent you such sore losers? such petty and gullible political neophytes? when indeed will you ever learn?
Soon Obama would get sworn in, and again in abject failure of judgement you would fail to challenge him intellectually and ideologically for the benefit of all America. Predictably and in typical group-think, you would cling to your determination to prove him wrong at all costs and once more he would appear the saint, even when he should be roundly critiqued he would instead enjoy everyone’s sympathy and as usual you would come out looking like mean spirited idiots.
Are you so dense and daft?
This was not an election anyway. I haven’t fig out yet what it was. There were alot of elements involved-most of them illegal-and sooooo much media bias you could not cut through it!
This was I think a travisty-a Fraud-even no didn’t know how many states we have in America! His campaign people were some of the dumbest on record! All they knew was hope and change-nothing else! LMAO! Shortly-I say within the next 3-4 mos these people are going to realize that what they hoped for just doesn’t exsist!
Hope and change! KEEP THE CHANGE OBAMA!
I really do not understand why people are still raving about this election. Ok I understand the person you wanted to win did not, get over it. We suppose to be a country that is build on morals and faith yet because the person you wanted to win lost, and it like the end of the world.
So where is exactly is your faith?
If your a republican and your a christian pray for better days ahead and stop crying about what have been done. We should really stop all the crap talking about one side vs the other because to tell you the truth neither side is great. It call politics for a reason everyone have a connection to someone else, people will always deceive people,and every politician have a damn agenda it not just the left or the right they both do. If you do not realize that by now theres no hope for you. So lets stop the chanting, stop the crying, and pray for better days ahead.
Pray for our country lets start working with each other instead of against each other because we have morals, understanding and compasion.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
Stop the fighting stop the fussing and start the hugging
Peace be with all!!
This is nothing but mere political nonsense that only showed the 30 people that couldn’t answer the questions. Obama had crowds estimated to be between 70,000 and 125,000 persons and it is no surprise that one could find 30 uninformed people out of those numbers. What a bunch of crap!
Barack Obama 2008
Dear Carl from: “Carl on November 18th, 2008 5:50 pm”
Are you referring to the innocent children & civilians murdered in Somalia during the Clinton administration in his attempt to divert the Lewinsky heat from himself to an event of international importance?! I bet you believe partial birth abortion is not infanticide. NOTE: I said PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION. If you don’t know EXACTLY what that is, do your homework before you comment (Isn’t it ironic how PETA neglects to acknowledge that humans are also classified as animals?)
Dear, “Petseeg on November 18th, 2008 9:18 pm”
You are obviously no more a conservative than Mr. Obama’s left ars cheek. If you aren’t a plant by the left, then Darwin never visited the Galapagos!
YO! SO SORRY TO:

Respectfully yours,

Don’t ya just love how leftists like to use terminology used during WWII to describe the NAZI’S (Neo- and Uber- this or that) Boy have they got Hitler’s play book down pat!!
HISTORY, PEOPLE, HISTORY! GET YOUR RECENT HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE (1989-PRESENT)HEADS OUT OF YOUR BUM’S & START DOING SOME REAL HISTORIC RESEARCH. Don’t rely only on what you were taught(or worse yet, not taught) in school!
MOST IMPORTANTLY – DON’T TRUST ME. INSTEAD, PROVE ME WRONG BY DOING YOUR RESEARCH OF NON-CURRENT AUTHORS OF HISTORY. YOU WILL THANK ME IN THE END.
May God, or The Force or whatever you believe in be with you. Yours, Ron
Why can’t Republicans face the fact they got beat, instead of working themselves up over lame and twisted attempts to vilify their opponents? Do you really think right wing white Republicans in the heart of Alabama could tell you who Chuck Schumer is or anything about him?
And these people complain the MSM is biased? This is about as asinine and transparent as you can get.
The person who made this video was testing the knowledge of Obama’s Supporters. He did not compare McCain’s supporters. I dont understand what he wanted to show. He is as unknowledgeable as the respondents.He should have asked them why they were voting for Obama and I believe each one of them had a very good reason.
I supposse he can now go home and watch from there as President Obama takes office and transforms this country back to a great nations it once was.
I cannot believe that anyone out there thinks spreading the wealth around is a good thing. What makes people think they have the right to this money? I am not close in salary to having my taxes raised and I still find it offensive that we will tax one group to give tax breaks to others. Instead of putting your hands out for the government to fill them with money put your hands out and do some work to make your own money.
Ok, I’m sorry but why should I pay a higher percentage of my wages in taxes than Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. That’s ridiculous. You don’t even have a point Chris. It’s not about the government putting money in our hands, it’s about taking money out of the hands that Bush and all your other conservative cronies have being raping the middle class for of EIGHT YEARS! My brother spent 2 years fighting in Iraq in a dumb ass war that has NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING to do with Sept. 11 while the middle class was being taken advantage of by oil companies and haliburton. You are a true idiot.
I am from Arizona and I implore you to do the same survey questions on John Mc Cain. He didn’t even carry the precinct in which he resides.
How about all the stupid rednecks that voted for McCain just because he’s white or because he’s a war hero or because they thought and still believe Obama is a Muslim? Stop trying to act like ignorance is one sided. The idiots who believe this is the reason Oboma won are even more ignorant than these idiots in the video. Get over it people, Obama won and there’s nothing you sore losers can do about it so just crawl back under your rock or leave the country.
Yeah, where is the survey on McCain’s supporters? Do I sense a little bias?
Everybody who voted for Obama talks about change. Did you know that his cousin Odinga in Kenya who ran for office last year and Obama campaigned for Ran on the “Agent of Change” plus a few other of Obama’s slogans.
What kind of change is coming???
I am not suprised to see that all of the secret KKK members come out of hiding. Why aren’t these same racist retards talking about W. He will go down in history as the worst president and no one says any thing about it.Vice criminal Cheney took his bank accounts out of US Banks and put all of it into Euro banks a month before the stock market failure but I don’t hear the Rush-Oreily critics bring this up. I guess that it is cool to screw up the economy while making all your fathers former cabinet members rich beyond their wildest dreams. What I see is jobs disappearing, companies closing, and homes foreclosing Now. But doodoo birds can only speculate on what Obama will do. The fool who put us here gets impunity.
Oh my god! Obama may have stole slogans? That changes my whole opinion. Wow, you really opened my eyes. It’s funny but if you look back at all the elections, both sides, Republican and Democrat, they all reuse speeches and slogans. The steal from each other too. In fact, American law is completely plagerized, ask a law professor or lawyer, they just call it precedent.
The tax percentages are lower for everyone under Bush then when we had Clinton as President. Look it up Laura. I think you will find that you have not been raped just overly dramatic. Thanks for the idiot comment. Very classy.
I am also skeptical of this video, as I am certain you can find just as many uniformed Republican ticket voters if you tried hard enough. That being said, with the election of Obama, this country has swung a hard turn to the socialist left. When all of these so called “college students” and change seekers see the first-hand results of their actions (higher taxes, entitlements to the lazy and undeserving, the lack of a strong military, the financial rape of the wealthy, which these degree holding students will one day be) you will all see the error of your ways in electing a hard line Democratic Congress into power. The saddest part of this election? NO VIABLE THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE. The two party system in this country has failed to ensure the legitimate redress of greviences…
The prices of everything you mentioned are all based on the price of oil. As you may have noticed oil went up a ton due to the falling dollar and possibly the specualtors on Wall Street. I know it is easy to blame Exxon and people do this all the time. They are wrong in doing so because Exxon is a company who has had the same profit margin perecentage forever. The thing is when oil is $50 per barrel and you use a 10% profit margin you make $5. When oil is $147 per barrel you make $14.70. The price of oil makes their overall cost higher so once it is refined it cost more so they make more dollars but the same percentage. Watch and see if Exxon records another huge profit since oil has come back down. You will not hear Obama talking about their windfall profits anymore. I am definitely not a fan of Exxon and have not used their product since the Valdese spill in Alaska but am stating the facts. I give Clinton credit for a lot of things and even voted for him in 1996 but the stock market is one thing he had nothing to do with. He just happened to be the president at the time of the dot com boom and Y2K happening so every company in the world was buying computer systems to backup their backup system for when nothing worked once Y2K got here. I would not compate yourself to Bill Gates unless you are ready to start a foundation like he has. I am sure he pays his fair share of taxes and more. The only fair tax is a flat tax anyway or a consumption tax but we will never progress that far.
Obama says: Tax the wealthy, spread the wealth. Let’s think about that. The wealthy have financial obligations like everyone else. If they are the business owners, they are “responsible” for their employees, and all things needed to keep that business running to keep people in a job. Now, tax them heavier, their financial obligations don’t change, and if they can’t pass the burden onto the consumer, they will reduce excess, which most likely will be someone’s job. Tax the wealthy, who is it that primarily is responsible for funding and supporting the charitable foundations in this country and abroad, for instance? The poor? I don’t think so.
Obama says: Raise the inheritance tax. All the money that is left to heirs has been taxed and taxed along the way, why should the government get their hand in already taxed hard earned money?
Obama says: End the war – lest we forget 911. Ask the families of those that perished if they have forgotten?
Congress says: (For those who didn’t know – we have a Democrat controlled Congress, not Republican, so don’t blame it all on Bush) – Bail out the auto industry or we will lose jobs. GMC started their problem 50 years ago, it was bound to happen, they have 650,000 employess drawing on their retirement plan, this is not a recent problem. They have to sell a lot of cars at quite a profit margin to support their own plans. Look into their history and why. If foreign automakers are not supporting retirees like GMC, they can sell their cars cheaper. What are you going to buy, GMC, more expensive or Hyundai or Toyota, cheaper?
Bail out the housing market: Never have I been allowed to “afford” a mortgage that I couldn’t afford. Never would I consider buying something I could not afford. Basic common sense. Who is at fault really? We are supposed to be adults, responsible to ourselves.
The sad state of affairs is neither candidate should have been on a ballot and both parties should be ashamed. Who was Obama four years ago, seriously who was he 2 years ago? Where did his money come from? McCain/Palin – seriously, there was more than one decorated heroe from Vietnam. Palin was a good first attempt to get people thinking about a woman President again. What a contrast to Billary. (Yes I know I spelled it with a “B”)
Both sides need to stop whinning, yes the winners are whinning too. There is no winner in this election. Obama can do no wrong, we already know that, the media will not allow it. The country cannot get much worse, and if it does, it will be blamed on Bush, and his Democrat Congress.
And for those of you who said McCain ran a smear campaign. Exactly what did Obama spend all his money on? I seemed to think most of the ads I saw on tv were definitely a smear on McCain, and you know, that is the norm for any campaign. Has anyone given any thought about the money that Obama spent buying his election and how many children he could have educated or fed in the United States? Add in McCain’s money and a many more children would not have gone to bed hungry. Let’s all get a grasp on campaign money.
I voted for McCain and to be quite honest, I knew more than those interviewed in this show, but I don’t know all the facts either about everyone they asked about. I do know something about them, but, I doubt everything.
Let us all pray for prosperity and grace and start looking for real candidates for the next election.

May God, or The Force or whatever you believe in be with you. Yours, Ron
Dear, “Donna on November 19th, 2008 12:03 am”
I don’t know were you are but it’s 11:06 here and I like your comments.
Funny how no one has challenged mine.
Respectfully, Ron
Mark, I bet you are fun at parties. One word for you bud — Issues — you got ‘em.
Inflate those wheels on your house and drive it on down the hill to get some help for yourself.
The election is over and we voted for “not more of the same”. Barack Hussein Obama, President-Elect, United States of America.
My president and yours. Deal with it! (Quietly, and in private. Please)

Bill Gates started his business from nothing but chutzpa and the pants around his fanny (I’m not Jewish, but I figured “balls” might be a little over the top). You have no more right to ANY AMERICAN TAX PAYER’S MONEY than Thomas Jefferson acknowledged to.
Yo’ “Roy Earl on November 19th, 2008 12:15 am”
Aren’t you 20 comments late to the party? How ’bout we deal with it like the left did (ie., all media sources except FOX) and call him “Mr. Obama” once he becomes President…
Dear “Laura on November 19th, 2008 12:29 am”
I almost said “i am no more a racist that Jesse Jackson” but then I realized he was the new “racist of the 20th century and beyond”. By the way, how did you guess I was “Hungarian American”. In the words of Arty Johnson,
“Veery Interesting!”
The way I see it, Those who cry Racism (Those who play the race card) are the racists.
I am WAY old enough to have been through that, and have learned and practiced the “What would Jesus do” thing without religion (much to your dismay I’m sure) so read it and wretch!
Love, Ron

Dear Miss Brain Trust, the “Wannabe” lawyer Laura on November 19th, 2008 12:07 am
How ’bout your grammatical errors:
“Bush has drove this county into the ground.”
“He has an extremely low approval rating and a vice president who said SO? when asked about not listening to the people of this country.”
“The may hasn’t even taken office yet and conservatives are calling him and idiot”
Yo Laura, Forgive me for stopping @ this point but I too must get some sleep, despite the fact that I was layed off recently. Yea, no [edited].
In any event, it was a good volley and I hope we can meet and be friends some day, though I figure I’ll probably be dead by the time that would be possible.
“If you aren’t a liberal by the time you are 20, you have no heart. If you aren’t a conservative by the time you are 40, you have no brain.” – Winston Churchill
Sorry for the “Sweet dreams” comment in the previous entry.
Do your homework from both perspectives & then make YOUR OWN decisions.
Sincerely, Ron
Ron,
The fact that you read my comment contradicts your assertion that it(I) was 20 comments late to the party.
Also, once Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in he should be correctly referred to as Mr. President or President Obama; not Mr. Obama. Former presidents are also correctly referred to as President _____.
Oh, and finally, I’m not sure but I don’t think Jesus would be blogging on this issue. Don’t knows for sure though…:-D
Dear Web Master,
Thank you for deleting “Laura on November 19th, 2008 12:34 am” and thank you to whoever complained about it. It wasn’t me.
Dear “Roy Earl on November 19th, 2008 1:31 am ”
Are you living in a vacuum? Why are you not acutely aware that President Bush has been routinely referred to as Mr. Bush up until now, now that a democrat has succeeded to win the presidency?
PS:“Roy Earl on November 19th, 2008 1:31 am ”
I counted. Your retort was 20 comments later.
Re. Jesus, You better hope He’s not real!
I give Him the benefit of the doubt!
Ron,
You were being literal? I took your “20 comment” as figurative. At any rate its clear you have too much time on your hands.
Secondly, I stated what is appropriate when referring to current and former presidents. If President Bush has been addressed as Mr. Bush I believe that to be improper.
Finally, I did not raise the issue of whether or not Jesus is “real”. I was responding to your proclamation:
“I am WAY old enough to have been through that, and have learned and practiced the “What would Jesus do” thing without religion (much to your dismay I’m sure) so read it and wretch!
Love, Ron”
So this is what Jesus would do? Hmmm.
I think many of you are missing the point. This video/survey are not about who did, or should have win the election. Its about a media bias that emphasised the faults of the Republician ticket and ignored the faults of the Democratic ticket. This video is no more whining or biased than a Micheal Moore “documentary”. The only difference is Zogby stands behind the data collected here.
3 reasons as to how Obama got elected: 1.Young people who know nothing about politics 2.Black’s who wanted to make history 3.People who hated President Bush because of the Liberal media’s lies.
