Most voted out of ignorance!
I’m sure this doesn’t come as a surprise to any of you. The press controlled all information, and did a good job of promoting what they wanted you to hear.
Be sure to check out How Obama Got Elected, too. He has results of a Zogby poll he commissioned that are truly staggering (I’m trying to find a link directly to the Zogby poll). Update: Zogby confirms the poll.
A friend of mine posted this video on Facebook and an Obama supporter did not like it one bit.
Apparently this video hit a sore spot.
He said “What a disingenuous video. “Most informed Obama voters?” As someone who voted for Obama, I can tell you that they do not represent the most informed Obama voters. This reminds me of the corny bit on Jay Leno called “Jay walking”: Find the most ignorant people and imply that it applies to the whole. But I can assure you that misinformation is not why I voted for Obama.”
I was not surprised at all with this finding. It was so clear how biased the media was. In fact, some of them are still doing it. He is not President yet and with very little to prove as Senator and yet they are painting great pictures about him.
I think informed Obama voters voted on emotions and not facts.
[Doc-- Thanks for the note. I tend to take such videos with a grain of salt, as 5-6 people do not make a representative sample. Combine that with the poll, and it becomes something I can blog about.
We hear the media complain about the ignorance of Americans. Perhaps they should look at the vehicle of that ignorance?]
