   Gotta love Stewart and Colbert. And Second City has given the world some of its all-time funniest comedians.

   The scary thing is when you see Leno or O'Brien or Letterman doing those kinds of interviews out on the street, they get some really funny answers that show how clueless some people are.
   
   But I did like the Kenyan/Keynesian play. I think the average Joe/Josephine would be hard pressed to define Keynesian on the spot!!!

      So instead of presuming to know what this is wouldn't it be wiser to ask what is it if they did not understand it.
      
      If I don't understand something I ask.  But not these folks and btw not all were college kids.
      
      Even the guy at the end knew what it was and still didn't know Obamas economic stance.

         well diane, you and i already talked about this.  when it comes to elections its not about what people's stances are on issues, it's how they run their campaign to entice voters.

            yeah, that's true.  i think it's a crying shame. personally, if more people elected candidates solely on the issues rather than what campaign they run, then i think this country would be a lot better off than where it is now.  therefore, i don't disagree.

            That mentality explains Obama.  The majority of people voted on a guy who had no experience, accomplishment, or record in politics and believed his soaring rhetoric only to find out that he's a socialist full of hot air that spent a lot of money and didn't help the economy any.  Madness!

                     luckily though from what i heard, even some democrats are getting fed up with obama, so hopefully we'll have a new president in 2012.  assuming that the world doesn't end.

   In my humble opinion people vote based on 2 sad and pathetic things; commercials and mainstream news programs.  Both unreliable and not likely to really be informative on who would be the best candidate.  If people were to make educated decisions they would have to actually watch NON mainstream news, internet information, research past history on the candidates and speak to those well informed regarding politics.  But I find (I laugh as I write this) most Americans spend 0 time doing any of this...I think it is hilarious to watch them spar regarding their preferences when their opinions are based in ignorance.  This goes for both Republicans and Democrats.

    If the world ends between now and 2012 we can blame the Republicans -- since anything and everything that does or does not get fixed between the elections today and 2012 will be on their shoulders, right?
