Ladies and gentlemen, voters of the United States of America.
Howard Stern sent two employees to hit the streets of Harlem to ask who people who they were voting for this election, Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. The answers range from dumb to outright ridiculous.
Most people interviewed all approve of Obamas black running mate Paul Ryan, and dont seem to mind the fact that Obama is Mormon. The fact that Romney is pro-choice doesnt bother them, and the fact that he is black is not the issue.
Also, nobody seems to know that Osama bin Laden is dead, but the good news for Obama is that they think he can get it done in his second term.

Wow, this country is in trouble.
However there are free cell phones to be had.
PLEASE: Do not bother these people with trivial thingfs like facts.
There is but one fact they care about. Obama is black or at least half/black. That is the only reason they are voting for him and in fact the only thing they know about him.
It’s pretty much the only thing anyone knows about him, he has hidden his past well.If anyone wants to know what would have happended if Marion Barry was totally incompetent and had been elected President, Obama is a good example.
In all honesty Barry would have been twice as good as what we got.
I wonder how many of these people will actually put forth the mental energy it takes to go and vote on election day. I doubt that it's a high percentage.
I heard (or maybe read) some of this elsewhere. It’s funny because I said to a gal at work the other day “I wonder how many “man in the street” responders when asked: who is the vice president? would say: Mitt Romney.
It shows how very, very little people pay attention to things. I mean, I’m pretty sure they chose/included only the stupidest answers, but still, they’re out there.
But, I also think the responses show the fair mindedness of the American people. They do not hold it against people that they are black, mormon, etc. And this IS true and that is a good thing.
If only people were better informed, that would be an improvement.
You have no idea how many people they had to interview before they got to cherrypick the stupidest answers and you also have no idea how many people were intentionally giving stupid answers just to get their 15 minutes of fame, however dubious.
"Man on the street" interviews like this are a waste of time good for entertainment and nothing else. A spontaneous outburst from someone like the free phone lady is real gold.
That’s funny but it really isn’t. They will start paying attention when their world finally starts to fall apart.
“A spontaneous outburst from someone like the free phone lady is real gold.”
True, true, good point.
Not one of them knew Osama Bin Laden was dead...that’s messed up.
