A Pew Research poll finds that only 34% of Americans know the bank bailout was passed by President Bush, while 47% incorrectly think it was Obama > New World Order Report

I would tend to agree with that perception.

Hummm, General Motors and Chrysler Ring a bell ?

some of the biggest lies, Obama was president but it was the Republicans that did it

I'm afraid you don't get it! To believe I'm from Detroit, is just an assumption on your part.

He's a rapper from Queens with great ambitions to make it to Motown

Thanks but I'm not that talented.

You still living in your moms basement?

Like you!

only dopes call it dope. now,put down the remote, cigarette and the natty light to go take your medication.
You are not the only one aware of the issues your seem to be incoherently repeating on various articles.
It's pretty god damn disturbing too that you like to LOL at the state of affairs in OUR country!

There you are ampersand, sandwiched in between a couple of ayipis dumb ass posts. They are evil doers for sure!

I look at it this way , what a relief it is , to at LEAST be intelligent enough to be coherent . That makes me feel happy .

Sometimes it makes me feel sick! Knowing is such a responsibility especially when you can't do anything about it!

# followed by stupid comment!

I wish it was that easy! It kind of reminds me of this fellow in army basic training that was as dumb as a box of rocks, the army in it's wise ways decided to send him to ordinance storing school. Imagine that guy with an IQ of maybe 80 (That's being generous) being trained to take care of bombs, to this day i wonder whatever happened to him or the people that had to work with him.

did that poll happen to mention what percentage of Americans just plain don't think?

Those people are nothing but the right wing product of that very same right wing sound machine. They are ignorant and probably will never be able to see the big picture. Congo boy probably lives in his mom and dad's basement not realizing when the Republicans get in and take medicare and social security away from mom and dad he'll be living in the streets. And with his attitude, his life on the streets will be short. Give up on those S.O.B's they are lost souls that never have given a shit about this country.

''...I lean more to the Democratic side and believe in helping people in need. If my comments help, so be it. We are all in this together and no one is better than anyone else, therefor I feel the commons are so important to our country'' Your words, right? Where were these words when you took the time to call someone's name in a disparaging manner, without them present? Does that validate your comments on him and others, for he is not alone. His opposing view points are his only crime, where is the tolerance of unlike minds? If you are a caring person, as your words profess, why hide it under personal attacks? Where is the courtesy? Opposing viewpoints are to be welcomed and discussed among the intelligent, it keeps the mind fresh and advances the search for the truth of the discussion. Intolerance will not be tolerated?

The comments of trolls are not valued here by me or others with like mindsets. Please disregard if this offends you. Cause I will no longer tolerate ignorance. Watch the movie that is at the head of the post and reevaluate your sympathy.

My friend I did, that is the first thing I do when I select a story. I voted the story and your reply to BRAVATRAVELS on education Up. When you find someone with an ignorant mind, that is when they are most in need of your tolerance.

Maybe, but on that note many of these ignorant fools are just about derailing a story for the sake of derailing. I have grown weary of these efforts therefore I just give up on them.
I can not tell you how many times I have logically battled them and realize it was a wasted effort.

Yes, I understand that same frustration. I have felt it here before. Until I realized that the keyboard and screen take away the connection that people have in the presence of one another, allowing for rash comments that normally wouldn't be said. Online rivalries are hard to resolve for that reason.

No doubt about it! Peace brother, may whoever is your higher power bring you luck!

I know, but what really astounds me is the fact that these same Americans no longer have the ability to sort lies from the truth. That is a bloody shame. We had Tea Party members during the summer holding signs up saying keep your government out of my Medicare.......what? I am almost looking forward to a Republican win this fall if it happens and they go to work taking these dumb-asses Medicare away from them, and their Social Security.

lol.

I appreciate your comment, I think there are countless millions of Americans just like you and me wondering if our system has failed our kids and our future. I look at the disparity in income from the top to the bottom and know because I have been paying attention and I believe you have too. This whole political ideology started before Reagan but gained so much momentum that the rich and the elite made ordinary Americans think that giving vast tax cuts for the wealthy was a good thing. Well we are witnessing the fruits of their labor, somebody had to pick up the tax burden and with that huge tax burden being picked up by the middle class it wasn't enough. Then Bush 2 with his no child left behind law being passed without being paid for brought the education in this country to a standstill.

I reside in the State of Florida and education is atrocious at best. My teenage daughter gets more education from the books and the information me and my husband give her then from the school. It is not the fault of the teachers; poor souls, they do not have the resources and support they deserve. Religious organizations here which by the way is one every corner get tax cut and funding but we don't even have after school programs or even physical education. I may be like a rat but I am moving out state before my daughter starts high-school so she could have the opportunity to learn and be prepared for the real world. I just recently came back from Spain and the advantage in education is amazing. The kids speak a list 3 languages and when they finish high-school they get to travel anywhere in the European Union for a year to further their education we the tuition and expenses paid. We are leaving our youth behind and the sad part is I see this country going backwards. We need to re-structure our education, the media, the government and the people. How come it is legal that politicians can misinform without any consequences like the Arizona governor, the bush administration, etc... We need a real change.

It does seem hopeless at times, but maybe we need to hit bottom like a drug addict before we get some help. I see the polls everyday and see momentum on the Republican side and I just laugh at how sad that is. Have you heard any ideas from this party at all, except for more tax cuts. Even the retarded trolls that visit this site are in favor of more tax cuts, little do they know those tax cuts are not for them but the rich. More education tax burden on the middle class and the lower class. We are at war with the rich, and many of you know where I stand on that. Their tax (Rich) during the 40's, 50's, and part of the 60's was 91%, it's now at what 34%. And that's not even mentioning the tax havens they have manipulated over the last 30 years. Who picks up the difference? We, the rest of us. Education has taken it in the shorts and all I hear from right wingers is get rid of the teachers union. WHAT? A right wing talking machine has truly fooled a lot of ignorant people who continuously vote against the best interests of us all.

did you get your stimulus package yet?? dont forget to sign and mail back for your next stimulus package LOL

What a troll!
