He assumes most people have the time to vet Obama whereas many don't and, besides, it should have been the press’ job; he assumes that reason should win out if people did their job of vetting Obama yet what truly wins out is emotion and spectacle; he misses the point that people want to feel good for electing a black president: they want to believe that America is not a racist country.

But he is right it is America's fault. They get the government they deserve.

I think the saying goes
You don't get the government you want, but rather the one you deserve

Or ot put it in other words:
“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”
