Can't hold the media accountable at all.. after all, no one forced people to vote the o in or his minions. Yes, they went too far but people that voted o and his minions were just too lazy to do any thinking for themsleves. I'm guessing that many people voted o to make themsleves feel better (i.e. prove that they are not racist)... beyond that, I can't fathom why he was voted in.

Did people truely want their taxes to go up? It was what he promised.

It would be interesting to run a bogus third party candidate next time. Usually, those guys seems to take votes from the Republican, but maybe one could be manufactured to take votes from the Democrat. The policy stance would be strictly dictated -- by Obama.

Obama says "I will create 2 million new jobs."
3rd party guy says: "I will beat that! 2.5 million jobs!"

Obama says: "I will lower taxes for 95% of you."
3rd party guy: "Ha! I will lower taxes for 97% of you!"

Obama says: "I will make us energy independent."
3rd party guy: "I will have us exporting energy within 3 years!!"

The Democrats just offer empty promises. That would become obvious if someone made a point of always out-bidding them.

There was a lot of racial jiu jitsu employed by the Obama campain to play upon the "white guilt" trip many liberals are on. I have actually heard some say that His election was necessary to bring about a "racial healing catharsis".

Boy, they have no idea what they have coming.

You're kidding, right? While the media is not totally at fault what would you expect people to do when they are deliberately lied to, misinformed and Obama was held up by the media and everyone else trashed? Clearly they had an agenda and used every means possible to hide Obama's faults and elevate his few positive attributes.

The media is relied on by many to provide information. The clear bias has become normal to most Americans. Yes, they should think for themselves but when all the information points to a good thing that's what they'll believe.
