I know most professors are liberals so I can see that these people are educated higher...but what about the tremendous amount of unscholed people who voted for Obama...compare that to McCain's votes...57 million...

And of those millions that voted for McCain...if you watched Alexandra Pelosi's HBO documentary last night, you would have seen a great many of them were uneducated and racist.

Haven't seen it but I did see Rev. Wright and all others on Obama's side who were one of the biggest racists...

I think its time education takes priority over others. I think he is the only politician who understand only wasy this country can be the leader of the free world in terms of economy is to have a better education system and prepare the kids enough to handle this global competition coming from developing nations.

Do I think he will suceed? probably not, his fellow politicians (D's and R's) will spend all their life arguging if tax cats or spending is beffer for the economy.

And what of the radio crew that Howard Stern sent into Harlem?

Asking the people if they like this and that of Obama's Policies and if they thought Sarah Palin was a good choice for Obamas VP. They all replied yes and the policies that they were quoting as Obamas were actually McCain/Palin platform!

Talk about uninformed and uneducated!

High school or less: Clinton-53% Obama-40%

Some college: Obama-53% Clinton-40%

College grad: Obama-59% Clinton-35%

Postgraduate: Obama-64% Clinton-30%
LOL. An educated person would see through all of this Obama crap--in 2 seconds--or less.

I don't mean to be rude, but it looks like you are having trouble reading the progression of educated voters towards Obama that was posted in the message you quoted (being that the more education a person has, the more likely they were to vote for Obama).

Is that why conservatives and liberals don't see eye to eye? Because we can't agree on basic facts or reading a simple chart the same way? If I started a conversation with a basic fact - "it is dark outside right now", can we agree on that?

Of course not everyone had good reasons for voting the way they do (I would argue that 47% of us either want the country to tank hard and fast or are simply clueless) - but that howard stern thing in harlem gets brought up constantly, as if harlem is a good representation of the rest of the country and for every democrat inclined voter.

obama clinton is a winning combo experience and smarts. i saw no major mistakes in mr obama then or now. clintons are known for their knowledge of DC games. not a nice place.
mr obama is talking about terminating the war, this is tremendous progress.
he is slowing down americas 2nd crash, i did not say stopping it, just slowing it down. rough times ahead.dont expect joe 6 pack to spend us out of this one, the party is over.

You say this after he announces he's sending more than 10,000 troops to Afghanistan. If he wants to find the cause of the mortgage crisis and the increased government spending then he needs to have the Justice Dept and Treasury Dept do a full investigation of the Legislature starting with Barney Frank. Of course, that'll never happen. Even Republican legislatures raised protest when the FBI executed a search warrant on Rep William "cold cash" Jefferson Louisiana (D). They may be divided when it comes to policy but they're united in covering their own backsides.
