Britney Spears draws news interest than Bush.



Thinkprogress:




Despite the economy drawing “heavy coverage and widespread interest” last week, Americans and the news media see President Bush as a non-story, behind Britney Spears. The Pew Research Center reports:

When asked to name the person they had heard the most about in the news lately, 24% of the public named Obama and 23% named Clinton. In a week when he proposed a major economic stimulus plan, just 5% of Americans named George Bush as the person they had heard the most about. About twice as many (11%) named Hollywood actor Heath Ledger, who died last week.

That is really really sad that she even makes the list, very shameful that people care about someone who has no significance in anything important makes the top ten, no wonder Bush is getting away with so much, people just aren't paying attention, now we have proof.

Well that shows Americans and the World why Bush got in office twice. Americans find entertainment more interesting then the corruption of the USA. With the help of the Media and talk shows it was successful for the Criminal White House to continue. Talk child left behind, it should read Adult voters left behind.
