Unfortunately, I think his greatest fear may come to fruition and our citizenry will turn a blind eye as soon as the media cycle shifts.

I really enjoyed watching this though, thanks for posting.

Joel, even worse is that the average American seems to have a day long memory - or should I argue, no memory whatsoever, when it comes to current events. Would I be wrong to say that when the media tells us to think we say 'About what?'
