See, this is why I resist the urge to be bitter about the intelligence of the common human

In Pennsylvania, the [bitter] flap seems to have marginally helped Obama more than hurt him: 24% said his handling of the issue made them think more highly of him; 15% said it made them think less highly of him; 58% said it made no difference in their views.

How surprising would this be if you only understood the tastes and awareness of society from listening to pundits on 24 hour news stations?
And if it is surprising, should we be thinking of a more appropriate model than the idiocracy? Maybe something that expresses the public not as apathetic morons first and foremost, but casualties of a shock and awe campaign of manipulation, one that is increasingly wearing thin?
Basically, what those in power should remember, is people smarten up real fast when their fundamental dreams and needs are thwarted.
