Sit down for this one
"Just 2% of voters who supported Barack Obama on Election Day obtained perfect or near-perfect scores on a post election test which gauged their knowledge of statements and scandals associated with the presidential tickets during the campaign, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows."
But he was so full of hope and change and...

That poll is full of something.
Remind me, how many McCain voters still think that Obama is a foreign-born Muslim? You can start counting with casca.
Posted by: Charles at November 18, 2008 03:38 PMIn addition to questions regarding statements and scandals associated with the campaigns, the 12-question, multiple-choice survey also included a question asking which political party controlled both houses of Congress leading up to the election -- 57% of Obama voters were unable to correctly answer that Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate.
So when voting for hope and change, Obama voters weren't actually sure what they were changing.
Posted by: Nikhil at November 18, 2008 04:04 PMPlease, Charles. This is the most frequent conversation I have with Obama supporters:
Me: So what do you like about Obama?
Them: Um, he just seems...different.
Me: Any particular policy of his that you like?
Them: Yes, his healthcare plan.
Me: What about his healthcare plan?
Them: Ummmmm, I don't know.
This is the second most frequent conversation I have with Obama supporters:
Me: So why do you like Obama?
Them: Because he's going to lower my taxes.
Me: But don't you make over 150k?
Them: So?
Pet monkey says what?

Shocking!
Posted by: Gerard at November 18, 2008 09:07 PMYou have to blame MSM for this. They promoted Obama as the Messiah and did not let facts appear that would contradict that image.
Posted by: Jake at November 18, 2008 10:33 PMI knew Obama was a lock when the media didn't pound him on Rev Wright and even his Wife's strange stance on reality.
That being said I don't think the next 4 years will be as big of a disaster as the righty's think. There's a lot of wealth attached to O's warchest he has to pay back. That should be fun to watch.
Posted by: Dan at November 19, 2008 08:37 AMNDS, in 2004, we reelected Bush for a second term. No one could say we knew nothing about him so the "you're stupid" argument was really "you didn't vote how I wanted!" With Obama, you're actually ignorant, not stupid.
