Proof that our media did (and is doing) it's job . . . for the 1%:
http://news.yahoo.com/poll-economy-fix-americans-pick-reagan-over-roosevelt-164905667.html

Ronald Reagan beat out Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the former president Americans would like to see in the White House during these trying economic times, a new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll finds.

Thirty-six percent of those polled said they wanted the Gipper to lead America out of the economic crisis, while 29 percent picked Roosevelt. Thomas Jefferson came in third place with the support of 14 percent of those polled, followed by Roosevelt’s successor Harry Truman at 8 percent. William Henry Harrison, who was inaugurated in March 1841 and died one month later, came in last with 1 percent support.



:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Yeah, let's put back the guy who raised taxes on the middle class, defanged unions, coddled the wealthy and generally installed the very economic system that's responsible for this MESS!!

UHmerica - making the world laugh their asses off, one brainscrubbed Fox viewer at a time . . .

10. The only miracle that wooden bastard pulled off . . . .
. . . was starting the trend of peasants voting against their own interests.

I thought we all evolved and stopped thinking the Horatio Alger lottery would "happen to us one day". Guess not.
