I will not deny that many Americans are smart, were this not the case we would not be the World's superpower. <BR/><BR/>However, I think many if not most Americans are fairly uninformed when it comes to the issues that face America and the reasons that caused them. If this were not the case the country would be up in arms around clear political decisions that were made in both the Carter and Clinton administrations that have undeniably caused the financial meltdown with home mortgages in America. <BR/><BR/>It's interesting that the media has not discussed this issue so close to the general election.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183216499710763242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13135605.post-73982846766107966752008-10-28T11:21:00.000-06:002008-10-28T11:21:00.000-06:00You missed my point . . . we're talking about the ...You missed my point . . . we're talking about the media here. More plainly, how did Bush get elected twice if the media is so influencial?<BR/><BR/>I voted for Bush, I am not arguing he was not the better choice. My point is that you give the media way too much credit and not enough credit to the "public" (whoever that is). If you are duped by the media then fine, but it is my experience that the "public" is a pretty dang smart. I know the talking heads of the political right want you to believe otherwise but it is simply not the case. <BR/><BR/>The public is not fooled by things that don't matter in an election. They focus in on what is important and my experience is that they almost always elect the better option. It is a total cop out to argue the public is being tricked or fooled by the Media when these are the same people that voted in Bush. The same supposed media that would have like to have seen a Gore or Kerry Presidency. The majority of people might not agree with you or with me, but I disagree with the premise that the "public" is easily fooled by the media. Is the media bias? Sure, but the effect of the bias is way over blown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13135605.post-72591951629057530492008-10-28T10:29:00.000-06:002008-10-28T10:29:00.000-06:00The only thing worse would be to repeat the 4 year...The only thing worse would be to repeat the 4 years President Carter was in office.<BR/><BR/>You know those 4 years where in 1977 the Democrats passed the Community Reinvestment Act which initiated a series of failed Democratic policies that caused the collapse of the housing market and threw us in the worst financial collapse since the "Great Depression."<BR/><BR/>Oh wait, I'm sorry according to all the Obama ads I keep seeing on TV this collapse occurred because of the failed economic policies of the past 8 years and the Democrats are completely blameless.<BR/><BR/>My bad.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183216499710763242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13135605.post-31471313917284719702008-10-28T10:24:00.000-06:002008-10-28T10:24:00.000-06:00Your right why on earth would I want to repeat wha...Your right why on earth would I want to repeat what the last 8 years have been like?

As I drove past the north part of our town tonight while 20,000 people gathered at a large farm to hear Barrack Obama speak in person (yes, in my little town!)
