Sad but true. Today, however, we have a media establishment that works overitme to keep people in the dark and to hide essential information all voters need to hear.
Been saying it for a while now. Welcome to the party Bernie.
That appears to be an unnecessarily wordy way of saying: "None of us is as incompetent as all of us".
These are all very good points, but I still believe, deep down, (and as un-PC as it is) that Obama’s real message that: (1) he would still keep giving free stuff to the masses (note, EBT card growth, SS disability explosion, 2 years unemployment, etc.) and (2) he would not impose federal income taxes on 50% of the population (while screwing the evil rich) won him the election.
IRS harrasement of Tea Party (see Lois Lerner)
Voter fraud (see state of Kalifornia)
Buying votes with graft (see Green Energy)
Buying votes with food (see Food Stamp program)
Attacks on Conservative Primary Candidates (see NSA spying)
False Claim of Saving Detroit (see Detroit bankruptcy)
And yada, yada, yada...
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
There was a time, when one could get a good laugh out of Menken’s cynicism. Obama spoiled all that.
Sadly I agree. We are a bored and lazy country, by and large, too content to allow the media and politicians to do our thinking for us.

...Obama’s Greatest Asset: Clueless Americans
My two sisters-in-law are like that: they only see the soundbites and what the "news" media tell them - they don't look further into anything. They fall hook, line and sinker for the media's propaganda push for the Dems, and vote for them like the lemmings they are.

I lived in NoVa for a few years. And while not uncommon, the local political antics across the river were big entertainment for us back then.
Somehow it's not quite as funny applied nationally. d:^|
It’s idiotic to “blame” “Americans” for “electing” someone.
Each party’s leadership decides the primaries.
Party leadership is under the control of the financial oligarchy
Thus who is even on the ballot is controlled by NWO.
We wind up with NWO (R) or NWO (D) being elected to both every seat in Congress and the Presidency.
There is never a non-NWO-controlled candidate that lasts in Congress very long, let alone makes it onto a Presidential ballot.
Another key tool of NWO for getting rid of candidates they don’t like and promoting those they do is the NWO-owned and controlled news media.
Americans have been living in a NWO-rigged political environment for well over a century.
With a vote.
Will you vote to spend more than you take in? Most will say no.
Will you vote to fund a food program to keep children from being hungry? Yes. (Even though it spends more than you take in, and it's unlikely that many children are going hungry.)
Clueless “joournalists” who can’t remember the last shooting on a US military facillity
Title says it all.
In the first year of his second term, the president has failed on virtually every front. He put his prestige on the line to pass federal gun-control legislation–and lost. He made climate change a central part of his inaugural address–and nothing has happened. The president went head-to-head with Republicans on sequestration–and he failed. He’s been forced to delay implementation of the employer mandate, a key feature of the Affordable Care Act. ObamaCare is more unpopular than ever, and it’s turning out to be a ‘train wreck’ (to quote Democratic Senator Max Baucus) in practice. The most recent jobs report was the worst in a year, with the Obama recovery already qualifying as a historically weak one. Immigration reform is going nowhere. And then there’s Syria, which has turned out to be an epic disaster.”
True that but it’s “All the Republicans’ fault” ( the Bush Card has expired)
See tagline.
What Goldberg completely misses is the 2nd election of Obama the republicans ran the inventor of Romneycare against him.. about as dysfunctional choice as would be possible.. ON PURPOSE...
PROVING..... The republican IS dyslexic...
