The music alone is a good source of epicac, but overall I can't believe these people voted for this guy.

I wonder how many people they interviewed,, I also wonder did they just take the ones that didn't know the answers..

Sad to hear that stuff, but, and I'm just guessing here, if you polled 500 McCain supporters, you could easily find 9 minutes of folks giving the wrong answer to questions...

Just a guess.

Frankly I love Barney whats a purple dinosaur have to do with politics anyway?

BTW Leno does this bit at least once a week it's called Jaywalking.

You're right though,I am disturbed that YOU actually believe these were the most informed Obama voters they could find.

I think you an do that with any group of people on any subject and find a dozen or so that are clueless, and the media thrives on doing just that. Twisting the facts to suit the piece.

ie: US Marine attacks African Immigrant and Steals Lunch.

Like most of the others in this thread, you could do the exact same thing in reverse for the other candidate. And it would prove NOTHING. I actually feel more sad for the people that believe these videos represent an entire group of voters. And I didn't care who won the election.

I bet we could make a video regarding the Browns and Steelers rivalry and make Browns fans look very stupid as to their history and recent performance compared to the Steelers. And the same goes in reverse.

There are stupid people on ALL SIDES of every topic.

Also...the coal question.. a lot of them were half right, because McCain has had the same plan for coal and said pretty much the same thing about the coal industry..




and here's Obama's tape

To see how truly dumb a great deal of voters are, look no further than the machine that churns in Washington.

It's amazing we put up with a lot of it.

this has so much bias in it, it's not even funny. I took a few research/public opinion classes in school. it seems to me they only targeted 1 voting presinct. that's not a random sample to me. it seemed like they went to a mostly african american neighborhood, since most of the voters were african american. I counted 8 african americans interviewd compared to 4 caucasian. it also seems like they asked questions about palin that received more media coverage than the questions about obama. I bet if you did some research you would find that palin spending all that money on clothes was covered more than obama claiming he campaigned in 57 states. The interviewer also aided the one guy when he said he couldn't remember the woman's name. that's bias right there.

These individuals don't represent all of the people who voted for obama. If you believe that, you're an idiot.

I guess it is all a matter of view. I find some of the things that Republicans find disturbing as simply silly.

"i don't have a lot of trust in the media to know where that is coming from"

lolz. the gem of the whole video.

i don't see this video as much of a obama's supporters are blind, mccain's arent. i see it as 80% of this country has no idea about anything when they walk into a voting booth.

which is why i don't vote.

I believe you're accurate in that statement. I bet most americans have a hard time naming all 50 states on a map. Americans are generally terrible in their knowledge of the political system. I still vote. at least I feel educated in learning the issues and races.

i think the thing that turns me off from politics is that the crap you hear on tv is usually not accurate.

not always. because some things are fact. but i think the media feeds people garbage more then they don't.

and it sickens me that people know more about palin having a teenage pregnant daughter, and that she had an expensive wardrobe more then some of the actual issues of the current times.

and that doesn't just stem from the 5 or 6 people in that video. that's everywhere.

i also didn't know she had a son in iraq. i find it funny that that fact isn't as well known.

the other thing i hate about politics, and really, presidential campaigning, is the constant smearing.

if you want to earn my vote. talk about what you're going to do (which is usually a lie anyways) instead of telling me how horrible the other guy is. and then they get together and act like they were always buddies! mccain and obama go months tearing each other apart, and now they work together? c'mon.

again, which is why i just don't bother voting.
