I repeat, information on Obama was out there. I did my research when he first came on the scene....didn’t know a thing about him, but I made it a point to learn more. While everyone around me was literally swooning over “the one”, I tried to tell them what I was learning, but they were convinced he would save them all. YES, the MSM is a leftist machine, but like my mother used to tell me, if everyone jumps off a cliff, does that mean you will too? I saw his evil manipulations early on and anyone using operating brain power would have learned this too.
Not everyone has internet. Not everyone is savvy about the fact that the media is less truthful or trustworthy than Pravda under the Soviets. Not everyone is born fully wise and conservative. Some people are young, just figuring things out after being indoctrinated in school and colleges. Sure, people are responsible for being ignorant, but the media is vastly complicit in this. Takes two to tango.
