How Obama Got Elected

The 2008 Presidential election will go down in history as providing the most uninformed electorate. The mainstream media, especially ABC, NBC, CBS, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, overwhelmingly slanted their coverage to present Obama in a positive light and downplay his connections to radical individuals and organizations such as Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, ACORN, and Saul Alinsky.  To their credit, the Washington Post has admitted their bias.

Independent filmmaker John Ziegler has produced a new documentary and website entitled How Obama Got Elected. In addition to the short film, a Zogby poll was conducted. The results showed:

57.4% of Obama voters could not correctly say which party currently controls Congress (Answer: The Democrats) 

82.6% of Obama voters could not correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting all three opponents kicked off the ballot

88.4% of Obama voters could not correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket

56.1% of Obama voters didn’t know that Obama started his political career at the home of Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist.  

This is gross ignorance and irresponsibility on display. Couple that with a new study which shows kids have too much self-esteem, it’s logical to conclude that this nation is producing a bunch of uninformed, egotistical brats who aren’t thinking critically.
