My guess is that, as usual, a great percentage of Americans were not paying close attention. Since very little of The Great Spreader's agenda was disseminated by Big Media before the election, the casual American (Freepers are not casual) pays very little attention to the world outside their little bubble. All this hubbub concerning ObamaCare is probably the first time millions knew about Obama's radical leftism. And they don't like it. Too bad they didn't pay closer attention in November.
I agree. Many voters are shockingly simplistic—I don’t like Bush so I’ll vote for the new guy (never mind that Bush was not running.) They ain’t called sheeple for nothing.
