How Obama was elected...
 
To place this in context, Zogby just released a poll in which they
asked 500 Obama voters, 55% having a college degree and over 90%
having a high-school diploma, twelve multiple choice questions. Some
interesting results.

57.4 could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot
just by guessing)

81.8 could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign
because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6 could NOT correctly say that Obama won his first election by
getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would
likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25%
chance by guessing)

56.1 % could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at
the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance
by guessing).And yet….
..
Only 13.7% failed to identify Palin as the person their party spent
$150,000 in clothes on

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage
daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her
“house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

And then there is this - the payoff comes at the very end.

At least she was honest.

I think Harry's idea of becoming an expatriot is a good one if this is
an example of Obama's minions...er...voters.

Poor Zogby.

Obama was elected because he was the better, smarter candidate with a
solid running mate and with some ideas, running against a tired old man
with no ideas and a ditzy running mate completely unprepared for higher
office. The fact that McCain and Palin both endorsed a social
conservative agenda that the voters repudiated nationally makes Obama's
victory the sweeter.

He got elected wither because he is a smart liar or a dumb twit. I actually
suspect a smart liar.

Ever notice how when Obama is politicking, he pauses before answering? Well
that is because he is polished to tell you what you want to hear. Later, he
will apologise and make excuses on why he can't deliver. When in actuality
he knew in the original reply he could never deliver. His own views are
hidden. Ethical, no, slick, yes.

But here is really his biggest test and we will not have to wait long either
to see how he handles UAW. There are literally millions being laid off and
if Obama appeases these noisy minority ******s all hell is going to break
lose. You will hear the roar of who is bailing me out from Boston to San
Diego.

And not even the US government can bail out the total debt default of a
bankrupt nation. Obama is going to have to find a way to get his supporter
to pay for her gas and mortgage.

been big fans of democracy.

if that were the case his name would be 'dick cheney'. and better a
smart liar than a dumb one like our current president

ever notice that when bush talks, he just lies? he doesn't have to
pause.

It's not 'who', it's 'how'. Same letters, different meaning.
