When has CNN ever said that Obama has already won it?

America is wise to Obama? Oh please. It takes mainstream America a good while to get wise on most bad politicians. How else to explain voting for Nixon and Bush twice? I think average people are kind of dumb. Like how all the news networks have been griping the last few days about politicians going home for summer break and not doing anything about gas prices.

What are politicians supposed to do about the fact that the average consummer has done it to themselves? If people wasted less, that would be the best start, along with a massive investment in wind and solar power immediately. Politicians in America suck because they're selfish and ignorant, but the same could be said about mainstream voters who expect the gov't to fix everything.

From a strictly economic point of view related to taxes, most people on this forum (assuming they don't make more than $600 grand a year) should vote for Obama.

Both candidates still don't have the courage to step up to the plate and engage people in a frank discussion about energy conservation or America's role in the Middle East after Bush is out.

If America was wise to any of that, they'd have a common sense third-party by now, which isn't anywhere in sight.
