Obama Obroad

It's bizarre (my word of the week).

It never ceases to amaze me - the propensity for politicians of every political colour to assume that we can't see through what they say and do.

I sometimes find myself wondering if that is because the vast majority of the population really are so dumb that they can't see through it, or just don't care enough to question any given political line. Or maybe it is just that, if they say something enough times, they think they will convince us?

People must have pretty much made up their minds who they are going to be voting for. It strikes me that those who are still undecided are likely to be the more intelligent rather than the less intelligent - people who really want to look at policies and ideologies of the candidates. And these are the people least likely to be bludgeoned by this kind of double-speak, imo.
