Jan 8, 2009 - You're right, no one else will be laughing when they realize their lord and savior's "change" gimmick was only change for the worse. And trust me, McCain would've been just as bad. Washington politicians are always bad."And what about the liberal slander perpetrated on Faux news every single day?"Yeah, one news station. What about CNN, MSNBC, and practically every other news outlet in the country?

Jan 8, 2009 - If you want to get back to the constitution, the last thing you need to do is to support Obama. Both he and Joe Biden absolutely hate that document.

TonyGehrig Says:

Jan 8, 2009 - Friend i dont disagree trust me. My point was, "CHANGE" = going back to the Constitution. The document has been pissed on for over 150 yrs. it makes me ill. Small gov, state control, tight spending...please bring it back. He is our President, lets hope he brings change.

TonyGehrig Says:

Jan 8, 2009 - His friend isnt a terrorist? have you looked at what William Spears did? If that isnt terrorism what is?The idea isnt to laugh. its to make this country what it once was...what it was meant to be. I hope Obama changes things. I will support him as my President. We need to get back to the Constitution. We need to get back to what thousands of Americans have people died for. Dont laugh, its not funny.

Jan 8, 2009 - this is sad. i'm a high school student, and i could answer every single one of those questions. the sad truth is that most of america is uninformed. but for as many ignorant people there were who voted for obama, there were just as many who voted for mccain. this poll doesn't prove anything except that the average american doesn't know as much as they should about politics (or very much else).

Jan 8, 2009 - WAAAHHH!!! Get over it...the American people spoke and Obama won in a landslide. He won simply because he's a more likable guy--a better speaker, politician, family man, and Christian. Palin & McCain could barely speak and was just an embarrassment. Plus, these questions are so ridiculous and warped I don't know how anyone with any intelligence would take this shit seriously...and OMG 12 people!...therefore everyone who voted for obama was falsely informed. Give me a break.

Jan 8, 2009 - I agree that this video is making an important point regarding the uninformed nature of voters however I think this is marred by the way in which the issue is framed by the documentarian. The use of editing, and song particularly in this video detracts from its impartiality and it is a shame because it is making an incredibly valid and timely point. However, it has undeniably served its purpose and forced us to question the "vote or die" mentality currently propagated in popular culture.

Jan 8, 2009 - he's just less worse than mccain. mccain/palin resembled the bush admin too much for me to support them; i think that more regulation of business is needed right now, & i also think the troops need to brought home; those are the 2 most important issues to this country right now & i agree w/ obama on that. he's already done some things i disagree with, but i'm confident that he'll be at least capable of cleaning up the mess bush has left us with.

BlackpeopleLOL Says:

Jan 8, 2009 - Barack Obama SUCKS.

marsha12345555 Says:

Jan 8, 2009 - also i think all that "yes we can" etc bs is just meaningless mantras to fool ingorant ppl like the ones in this video to believe that they are being "politcally active" & too much media attention WAS wasted on insignificant details of palin's personal life that were not relevant to her qualifications as potential VP. the ppl in this vid are representative of the average ignorant american on both sides of this campaign who just get manipulated way too easily by the media.

Jan 8, 2009 - It really wasn't a landslide.

HLrider612 Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - 365 - 173 electoral votes sounds like a landslide to me. Every single election analyst admitted it was.

starcrossedloverxx Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - I'm a Canadian teenager and I knew the answer to all those questions, including the ones against obama. You talk about media manipulation, but you too are the media, and it is entirely possible that these were not fair interviews.

TellYourFolks Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - I guess I can respect this documentary for what it is: a conservative perspective. However, I would like to know how they chose who was the "most informed." That seems like a very unreliable description. Also, I am disheartened by how this only shows the ignorance of one side of the campaign. Lets face it, when it comes to politics the majority of Americans are uninformed. If its not headlining the tabloids or in and out of rehab-- they don't care.

TellYourFolks Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - On both sides, whether you were rooting for "change" or yelling out "maverick" every other line, there was PLENTY of ignorance. PLENTY. It is disconcerting to see how disconnected many Americans are with politics. Because, when American citizens do nothing and wallow in their ignorance, that only gives the gov't leeway to do anything they want. When did we become so apathetic!?!

NEMESIS12389 Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - Wow! I now know how to become president.1 Buy the media2 Get a bunch of morons to voteGo make America proud Obama! These people are certainly doing their part to improve our image.

ModernEugenix Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - I suppose this is different from "Maverick" and a couple of "Mavericks" and palling around with terrorist. Its the same game on both isle. Bitter much? Informed voters, right, i love how the moronic interviewer led the guy into saying "sarah palin". Really clever.

itachi705 Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - Uhh, Freddie and Fannie were caused by too much regulation. Look up Peter Schiff and Austrian economics and then you'll understand why government regulation is a bad thing.

jeffreylabeach Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - Funny thing is they asked a bunch of McCain voters who is a muslim and EVERYONE KNEW! And was also the reason they were not voting for him. Funny how If you are selective enough with what you ask you can get the excat answer you want. Nah they would never do that to make a movie or something just because they didn't win.

timz2step Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - John Ziegler your documentary is quite boring just as you yourself are. Stop being bitter and blaming the media for Obama's win. There were McCain voters just as equally ignorant. Stick to playing golf, even though you're as equally horrible at the game as you are with making documentaries.

zsefvgyjmko Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - it doesnt really matter anymore, the election already ended, its 2009, move on people

o0zeroeffect0o Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - are you a fucking idiot???? it is clearly noted there was no regulation and if there was it was very little. that is how shit got out of hand. do you always talk out of your dirty asshole like this? or you just like making stuff up? moron.

BalanceFairTruth Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - this is what a conservative michael moore doc looks like...(show only one side, show responses that are unflattering, take the most unqualified people of that one side to represent all)they look like 1st time voters. mccain 1st time voters would have been clueless as well.to be fair and balanced you could've also asked:which candidate pals around with terrorist? who are the original mavericks?i'm sure they would have got those (pro-mccain) questions right.

BalanceFairTruth Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - i understand that you want to blame the media for mccain's loss. you justify this idea because voters can recall negative portrayals of palin's pregnant teenage daughter and not of obama's 57 state remark.let's see: what would stick more? an obvious slip up of "57" or pregnant teen... hmm...why not go to a rural town and ask them "what candidate is a muslim?" "what candidate pals around with terrorist?" or "who is jeramiah wright"obama had his fair share of negative media. go ask fox.
