At home and abroad, people are hailing the election of Barack Obama as an indication that millions of "stupid" Americans turned enlighted, educated and liberal overnight.
Well, they're liberal, that's for sure.
A new video called How Obama Got Elected, based on a Zogby poll, indicates just how ignorant the average Obama voter really is.
The poll surveyed over 500 self-professed Obama voters and has an [margin of error] of 4.4%, with 55% having a college degree and over 90% having a high-school diploma.
It asked 12 multiple-choice questions; only 2.4% got at least 11 correct. Only .5% got all them correct.
* 57.4 could NOT correctly say which party controls Congress
* 81.8 could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism
* 82.6 could NOT correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot
Those of us who listen to talk radio know this already; we spent the last six months enduring phone calls from irate Obama supporters who were barely literate, and couldn't answer a single question about Obama's policies and voting record. Obama was black, and he wasn't Bush -- that's all that mattered to these fools.
People like this really should not be allowed to vote.
