I was reading an article on the Huffington Post today about how much progress Obama has made since he was elected. One of the comments included the above video. The writer's argument was that it's difficult for Obama to drag American's in the right direction when so many of them were so darn ignorant.
Take healthcare for example, all the other industrialized countries have universal health care, but Americans are digging in their heels against it. At the same time they are dying because of our dysfunctional for-profit, health care system and unexpected health costs are the no. 1 cause of bankruptcy. The American education system is so bad, it has been described as being something our enemies would have designed for us. The American media keeps people willfully ignorant, as shown in this video. It's no wonder why FOX News is the no. 1 rated news channel and the public elected Bush twice.
