What is the attention span of the average American voter?

We hear about how Bush ruined the economy, yet we were at record highs in 2007 and he had the highest rating of nearly any President in 2002. No one remembers Obama's broken promises from last year nor how much money he received from Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, which are the institutions at the forefront of the collapse (and they gained power through a bill passed by Bill Clinton!). Does anyone remember in 2006 and 2007 when Bush went in front of Congress to confront the mortgage crisis before it started.

I have lost all faith in the American people... we are mortgaging our children's future and losing our rights because we were drawn by a silver tougue.

    I scored sixty 9, which i think of is notably impressive, considering i do no longer examine the information paper, as a remember of actuality, the close by new paper would not even provide nationwide, or worldwide information. however the authentic reason that we make such destructive options, is it somewhat is all the concepts that we get. look on the present presidential applicants, those that could make a reliable president, don't have a political device in the back of them, nor have they have been given one hundred twenty five million money to sway the vote of the yank public. via the way i'm sixty 4, and not a school graduate.

    If you think this started with Obama (or Bush for that matter) Then YOUR attention span it too short. "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson". President Franklin Roosevelt! Keep America's Greatness! Demand a functional, efficient and effective Government. Break the corporations hold. Fire your political party! Then hold politicians INDIVIDUALLY ACCOUNTABLE!. Stop the Left/Right Madness! Become "I & I"(Independent and Involved) and "Chase those crazy baldheads out of town!" READ IT, SHARE IT!
