I thought this was a shocking video. But if you watch it, don\'t just think its Obama supporters who are like this. It just so happens the video was created to make it seem that way, but it would be just as easy to make a video like this from McCain supporters as well. It really makes me wonder how useful the national vote is when most of the nation knows nothing about politics. How do the votes of these people help improve our country when they don\'t even know whats policies they\'re voting for or who holds current government positions? How do they know who to vote for if they don\'t know who is control of congress, or who Nanci Pelosi is? The problem is rooted in the MSM. These people get their information there and its obvious that they didn\'t learn much of anything. But how can you blame them when the media reports on none of the issues but rather the unimportant things.

I haven\'t watched your vid yet, but I have a related story.
On our local ballot there were like a dozen questions about whether we should fund X amount of dollars to fix up Y location. Millions of bucks in total.
I talked to a woman yesterday who said she didn\'t understand the wording of the questions and so she just voted yes for all of them. I told her she could leave the field blank and just skip that question... I bet there are tons of voters who don\'t know that.

McCain supporters were worst than that,..they still think obama is a muslim and a terrorist...:ohnoes:...but yeah, you have ill-informed folks on both sides. Most voters don\'t know every nook and cranny of their candidates policies,.... i know i certaintly did not, i but i knew enough of both McCain and Obama\'s policies to know the significant differences between them.

What he should know is that banks are now liable to pay you up to $250,000 if they should fold and you have a balance of $250,000 or less.....no need for him to take his 8 grand out and bury it....i didn\'t read the whole article,... just that bit about the person that wanted to bury his money.
