for that numbskull?! People really had to suspend all disbelief, all skepticism, and all common sense in order to get behind someone like him.

But then again, you and I both are now underestimating the power of propaganda.

Our press and all U.S. news sources are nothing more than glorified clarions for libertarian millionaires and billionaires who have the power to place a single call to press editors and tell them what to print/"report". We can see how that works on a smaller scale at Fox "News" Channel with Roger Ailes at the helm, e-mailing what his mouthpieces are supposed to "report" every morning. That's no different with CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and all the other newspapers and all radio stations across the country.

Luckily, we have President Obama who cuts through all the fog and clears it up for us.
