I like this video. It shows that not everyone is as informed as they think they are. I didn't know much about either candidates so i made sure to do the research before my decision. Most people jumped on the bandwagon for one reason or another when it came to voting for Obama. I think a lot of people simply felt that it was time for a change in president's party. 8 years of one party tends to inspire a surge of support in the other naturally. especially, if said party has been seen as unsuccessful in the past 8 years. unfortunately, a lot of people voted for obama for the wrong reasons, but time will show if they made the right choices or not. just as many who were not aware of his policies versus mccain's, there were many who strove to make their policies clear and many who listened. hopefully, future voters will take more initiative in their government and try to understand how their decisions will affect their future. finally, the media did give an uneven amount of attention to the candidates. i remember having to look twice as hard for positive coverage on mccain's campaign than obama's. in the end, i turned to the internet. either way, the information one obtains is bound to be riddled in bias. no wonder people are so misinformed (i wouldn't necessarily call all of them ignorant). ps: the intro music is creepy. too much adulation of one man really freaks me out >.> so he's the first black president. that's really amazing and a great step for the American people. but i question if we were ready to make that step. i believe, in years to come, as long as God wills this nation to exist, there will be many other black presidents and many women presidents as well and people will think how strange overexpressive "obamites" were.
