Americans are dumb

I know this isn't news, but I was reading a story on the Wall Street Journal website that mentioned some statistics, notably that 1 in 10 people believe that Obama is a Muslim. That really bothered me, and I was surprised it was that high.

Well, I was going to rant on here about that, but then I kept reading. Here's a quote.

"According to Kristof, 36% of all Americans believe "that federal officials assisted in the attacks on the twin towers or knowingly let them happen so that the U.S. could go to war in the Middle East." Between 30% and 40% of Americans believe in flying saucers and in evolution. One in five thinks that "the sun orbits the Earth." ... By this standard, if 1 in 10 Americans mistakenly think Obama is a Muslim, this is a topic on which people are unusually well-informed."

I mean... well... I give up.

In other news, I finally got my computer able to edit the videos I made but now cannot seem to get the videos off my camera. Hopefully I will eventually.

Obama

Now, I think its fair enough to say that I am an Obama fan. I donated to his campaign (which was my first ever political donation) and have advocated his canidacy since before he announced. That being said, I do have one problem:

Seriously? I mean... Seriously?

P.S: If someone wanted to buy me that shirt... I would wear it. Not the Che one. I may be a liberal middle-class college student... but I'm not tacky.
