How Obama Got Elected - An Insightful Video
Placer County is one of the most well educated, highest average standard of living counties in California. Our voters are intelligent, thoughtful, and discerning. We are not typical.
Many Placer voters knew about people like Gerald Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Obama's history of drug abuse, and in general, more than the average voter.
Anyone who has ever watched Fox News, and then moved over the dial to MSNBC or CNN has observed the startling difference. While the left will attack Fox as being "right wing", they actually offer both sides. CNN, MSNBC, and the "dinosaur media" of CBS, NBC and ABC all give you half the story. You cannot fully blame Obama voters for being uninformed, or worse, mis-informed as the media was for Obama from the beginning on this one.
Go to Youtube and you will see a startling set of interviews of Obama voters and just how educated they are.

It will be eye opening.
The only thing "eye opening" is how pathetic your dozens and dozens of blogs are. After this one I have decided I simply won't open and read another one. I get enough of this junk through e-mail. There is just nothing to these posts...time after time.
It was interesting. I think it said a little about a very few people, not about any particular subject. If you can infer anything about the job the media is doing based on this video, then you are easily influenced and not nearly as educated and informed as you would like people to believe. Are there many uniformed Obama supporters and voters...absolutely. Are there many uniformed voters in general? Absolutely. Anyone relying on FOX solely as their source is as misinformed as anyone relying solely on any ONE other outlet. I find FOX as humorous as the Daily show and use them both for the same purpose...humor and satire.
RT, you are right. Fox News live up to its claim. It is fair and balanced. The statistic number will prove it. With what the rest of the media have done, it is nice to see Fox News can keep maintaining its objectivity.
"Obama's history of drug abuse" gimme a break. The guy smoked some pot and did some cocaine. Experimenting with drugs in college is not "a history of drug abuse."
Zogby Poll
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points
97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
71.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack 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 Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
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!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)
--- The video shows that many Obama voters were getting their news from NPR, CNN, or even the Daily Show. Pathetic. It explains why Obama won.
I read that Zogby has been attacked viciously for running this poll. The left hates him for it.
Joszef; Are you intentionally denying his stories in the book "Dreams of my Father" where he not only admitted doing drugs, but the guy he did them with has been shown to be a known drug dealer. Obama claims he spent a lot of time with the guy, and a lot of "quiet time".
This was not college experimentation, he was doing drugs on a regular basis.
Why do you pretend otherwise?
While it is hard to ignore the bias, and anyone who would try to refute it is smoking some strange stuff, the more interesting study might be current drug usage by the people involved in bringing us their version of what they think we need to know. Would the media ever investigate themselves?
The following is from Wikipedia:
In November of 2008, Zogby conducted a 'push poll' at the request of John Ziegler. The poll targeted Obama supporters and asked leading questions with a bias against the candidate they supported, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. According to Ziegler himself, the poll was intended to show that Obama supporters were inept. After an uproar in the press suggested that Zogby had displayed a degree of bias discrediting the company's presumed impartiality, Zogby refused to conduct another push poll also commissioned by Ziegler aimed at McCain supporters.
A simple explanation for simpletons from someone who is, to put it simply, an idiot...
Rolandmc: Are you serious? Wikipedia?
You realize that anyone can post anything up there right?
Face it, there are probably people on both sides that are totally uninformed, and people who are misinformed, and people who are informed.
The odds are, a range of qualified informed people are in both parties.
However, the statistics do show that the Obama voters surveyed in that poll knew more about false facts "Sarah Palin can see Russia from her home" than real facts "Bill Ayers is a long time friend, political ally, and mentor to Obama".
R_T...don't like Wikipedia, how about the Wall Street Journal?
"Zogby International recently conducted a survey for a critic of president-elect Barack Obama and then, together with the sponsor, interpreted the numbers from the survey in a misleading fashion."
The above is 1 paragraph from the entire article discrediting this "poll"....go to the following link for more about this "poll."

Anyone in agreement with the premise of this blog is a certified idiot & really PISSED about losing their a** in the overall election.
R_T, thank you very much. Since I did not vote for Obama, I am college educated and live in Placer County I was feeling pretty good about myself being all those nice things you said about those that did not vote for Obama. Then I remembered that I voted for Bush in 2000 and the bubble burst and I became a moron, well, since I only voted for him once I'll give myself a break and just consider myself an idiot.
So much for your theory, sorry.
R_T: You're like a sinking ship firing on the rescuers. Are you still grousing about the liberals sweeping the elections?
Let's see; Obama was having trouble courting the uneducated working class voters (because they preferred McCain). But RT claims Obama's supporters are stupid i.e uninformed? And a youtube video and a discredited survey is his proof? Um, I've seen MANY youtube vids of racist McCain supporters who did not seem very intelligent ("Obama is a Muslim, He just isn't like you and me, He's a babykiller, He doesn't have a birth certificate, If he wins the negroes will take over the country, etc. etc. etc.)
Perhaps change your name to just "Thinker" or "Biased_Thinker". Or how about "sore loser"?
P.S. I don't think a (random?) sample of 12 illustrates the breadth of knowledge of a group of people.
