In the land of the blind...

"I have talked to some of our low to no information voters out there. I get the glazed over look very quickly when I start talking about the metrics on our economy over the past four years." 

One of my favorite sayings is, "In the land of the blind, a one eyed man is King." A real world example of this saying is what is going on right now in America. Using every metric possible, Barack Obama has been a substandard President. Maybe the worst in a generation. Maybe the worst longer than one generation. But his approval level keeps rising. To an almost crazy level. What gives here?

I hate to say this, as I am finally warming up to Donald Trump. But this negatives are so high, it makes Obama looked ten times better than what he really is. And with Hillary, the ten times might be as high as twenty times. 

To discerning observers on the political landscape (which I believe many, if not most of my blog readers are), they can see clearly through this chaff. The problem is (and I think this is a huge problem within our country), we have a raft of low to no information voters out there.

I have talked to some of our low to no information voters out there. I get the glazed over look very quickly when I start talking about the metrics of our economy over the past four years. OR (and this is very timely), the civil unrest which seems to beset our country almost on a weekly scale. OR, the increasing number of terror attacks perpetrated by the ones who shall go nameless. OR the increasing provocations by the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans or the Iranians.

Bottom line - everything is relative. Compared to Ronald Reagan, Obama would have an approval rate of low to non-existent. Just like Jimmy Carter had.  BUT, Obama came into office on the heals of the worst recession in forever, brought to us live and in color by Chris Dodd and Barney Frank (Not Bush!). And ANYTHING Obama did looked good to the uninformed.

The land of the blind. Are we? Some are, for sure. Maybe more than some. It does not have to be that way. It is not that hard to pay attention. To not be seduced by the MSM. Remember this. We elected Obama (a community organizer) twice over a war hero and a guy who started numerous companies. 

What can we do to help the good guys win? Keep telling the truth. Sharing the facts. Even blind folks will start to understand.
