Comment: I just want to propose to watch the ZeiGeist Movie for all Amaricans.You will really get informed about the realities going around the United States.You will actually learn what America is and how people get convinced. America ,i am telling all of you. Our leaders considering us just as a group of sheep.
Comment: The people only think o Europe and Asia,but the real problem comes from South America and Central America., a lot of them have been infiltrating in the US., and proseliting the people with they twarted retrograd ideas., If the staes don't pay attention to political development of Latin America., shortly the US, is going to be fill of urban terrorism, and violence ....Obama is a cheap populist never said anything .aacccccconcomcrete

Comment: In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything in the last 80 years.
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He didnt realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that .

Comment: "Not all Democrats agree with Mr. Frank that such policies are off-limits to criticism. Last week Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama said in a statement: 'Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership, when in retrospect, I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong.'
"Mr. Davis is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus."
'Rank snobbery'
Camille Paglia, who supports Sen. Barack Obama, has nothing but scorn for the way the media has treated Sarah Palin.
"The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses," Miss Paglia writes at www.salon.com.
"The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin's brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don't we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality."
Comment: The Antichrist!:
When George Soros failed to obtain the election of his candidate, John Kerry, in 2004, he brooded for a while, even said he might get out of politics altogether, but he just couldn???t stop himself. He has stated publicly that he wishes to burst the ???bubble of American supremacy,??? because he says our preeminence in the world is a detriment to global ???equilibrium.??? So far, he has failed, but he keeps on trying.
And Mr. Soros has made no secret either of the fact that he sees the shortest way to effect political shake-ups, what he terms ???regime changes,??? is through very difficult economic conditions.
America has not yet felt the full force of Soros style economic shock treatment. But others have.
Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically in comparative worth almost overnight.
When the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 threatened to spread globally, George Soros was right in the thick of it. Soros was accused by the Malaysian Prime Minister of causing the collapse with his monetary machinations, and he was branded in Thailand as an ???economic war criminal??? who ???sucks the blood from the people.??? Right in the middle of this crisis, Soros dashed off his book, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, which demanded a ???third way??? toward economic stability.
Wake up, America, before it is too late!!!!

Comment: A man of great wisdom:
http://www.atlah.org/broadcast/manningreport.html
Comment: You "President's who were General's" Question is Incorrect. Zackary Taylor was a general during the Mexican-American War and Andrew Jackson was a general during the First Seminole War. Making for a total of 5 Presidential Generals.
Comment: Is this a Global LIteracy test or a test of speed reading?
Comment: This test sucks. It's more of a test of how fast you can read.
Comment: I don't think this test was very credible. I know alot about art and who says that knowing the amount
they sold for is a test of knowledge. Knowing why they were important is a better test for Francis Bacon
and for art in general. This test was made for collectors of facts not deeper thinkers.
Comment: 87? Shockingly low -- are you a candidate? (Ignorant as I am, I got 2750...)
(And I, too, can see Russia from my house!)
Comment: 87 is shockingly low -- are you really someone else? (I, ignorant as I am, got 2570)...
(I, too, can see Russia from my back window.)
Comment: With a score of 87, I'm certainly smart enough to be Vice President - and I can't even see Russia from my house!

Comment: Verwy interesting, but not all true. Thanks for the entertainment value, however!
Comment: Very interesting........but not all questions are fact. Thank you for the entertainment value, however!
Comment: Trashy MSM trivia, you mean. This is what is WRONG with global literacy, and why Americans are becoming less literate every year.

Comment: Your "presidents who were generals" question is hugely wrong. You list only Washington, Grant, and Eisenhower. But Rutherford B. Hayes, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison were also "generals" (with various modifiers - Major General, Brigadier General, Brevet Lieutenant General, etc.).
Now who's been taking the web too seriously? If you're going to taunt people, get your stupid facts right!
Comment: quiet good but i can understand the technical yhings which are support the countrys economy................
well no clear idea abt reall westeren economy...............................
Comment: The question about generals is wrong. Zachary Taylor was also a general, so there are at least four.

Comment: I am not surprised by the GOP's pick of Palin. I am, however suprised that people haven't tired of stupid candidates like Mc Cain and Palin. Haven't we had enough of this? I want someone intelligent...better educated and thoughtful who has the good sense not to "shoot from the hip" mentality. Whats ' wrong with having class and good sense. Govenor Pailin is not my choice. As a woman I am embarrassed by her. She is just the worst possible choice to be a heartbeat away.......
Comment: Yeah, and the moslems believe THIER task from God is to kill ALL non-moslems. She is CLUELESS.
Comment: Sarah Palin : To a church gathering, she described a $30 billion natural-gas pipeline project, backed by state tax money, as "God's will." Similarly, she urged her audience to pray that the war in Iraq was "a task that is from God ??? That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for???that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
I never knew God was an oil man.All i can say is....Praise the lord and pass the gas.
Comment: I predict Palin will be president at some point. Obama will lose with a good margin. Palin has more fiscal experience that all three combined. People say Palin has no experience?? And Obama has what? He has 143 days as a do nothing vote nothing senator from a corrupt Chicago area. He's a loser before he even started. If he doesn't make it this time (which I think he wil not) he most likely will not run again because the demorats will not back another loser.
Comment: ABOUT SARAH PALIN:
http://webpages.charter.net/suasponte/
If you really want to know Sarah Palin's history (in detail) this is a "must read". It was written by Anne Kilkenny, a resident of Wasilla, Alaska.
Comment: My husband is a Republican and I'm a Democrat. He is really taken with Gov Palin. What he doesn't reolize..each time I hear comments like the President's "McCain is strong enough to take on the angry Liberals" it's Ka-ching....the sound of me sending Obama more money. Angry Liberals is that people worried about the deficit, a war we can't win, lost jobs, cost of gas and groceries???? SS in Indiana
Comment: I took your quiz....I resent the "smart enough for the US Senate" remark......I'd be curious to see the current candidates results.....not really....as far as where were going as a nation politically......GOD HELP US ALL!!!!!
Comment: Why doesn't the media talk about the failure of Bill Clinton to be vetted thoroughly, that no doubt affected Obama's ability to chose Hilary Clinton as his V.P.? Bill Clinton, has yet, to tell the truth about some of the contributions made to his Presidential library. Also, the media, with the exception of Keith Olberman, Chris Matthew, have failed to highlight that Hillary Clinton used gender discrimination to explain her loss...GS, NYC
Comment: Earth to goofy people...Bill & Hill aren't on the ticket.
Obama didn't meet his VP a few days ago and then just "go with their gut".
WTF? Bill wouldn't need to be vetted....DUH??!!??
Comment: I CANNOT TAKE THE QUIZ, FOR WHAT REASON I DON'T KNOW?
Comment: Re: political knowledge quiz. I think your answer regarding how many generals have been president is incorrect. In addition to Washington, Grant, and Eisenhower, weren't Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor also generals?
Comment: Did Barrack Obama take the test?
Comment: Didn't work for me at first. Click on another of the black-and-white tabs (e.g., "Turning Points"). Wait for it to load. Then go back to the "Global Literacy" tab. Once the Global Literacy page opens click on the Global Literacy Quiz applet on the left side of the web page. It worked for me when I got to the quiz by that link. It was a pretty good quiz, but I did poorly so I'll have to subscribe to cable - or something.
Comment: The quiz is not working just like the Democratic Congress!!!
Comment: The Quiz is not working - similiar to the Democratic Congress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment: OK, a literacy test based on visual media? How does that make sense?
Comment: It's not going into the quiz. I posted a comment; is that what it wants? I clicked on "ok, take the quiz now!" and nothing.
Comment: When will polls start being held via cell phone?
Comment: When will polls be done via cell phone?
Comment: when will television be digital.....?...wake up guys...there's a big bad world outside your borders
Comment: another example of 'we are the world America'......what part of the word global do you not understand...?....
Comment: You should change the name of this quiz, instead of "Global" it should be "US-centric" Literacy Quiz...
Comment: The reason why it is 6% is because the right wing conservatives filibuster all legislation that would help the american people and not overly benefit the rich and corporations for who they work for. Once the dems get a filibuster proof percentage in Congress and the right wing conservatives stop killing legislation that this country needs, the approval rating will skyrocket.
Comment: Your kidding right. Consevitives have fillibustered less in two years of session than the dems have done in 1 month. Watch C-SPAN before making non-informed comments. Look at voting records, prices we pay know have been a direct reflection of the dems running the house. Watch C-SPAN while it is still on, the Dems are trying to get rid of C-SPAN all together.
Comment: Well since conservatives want to do SOOOOO much, why did they do NOTHING all that time they had the majority & the white house? Why can't drilling be apart of a larger solution? BECAUSE T's a GIMMICK. Just like the entire Repub brand is a phony gimmick!
ALL THOSE YEARS. All they did was deregulate as much as they could, now we're in THIS mess.
Comment: We actually do not know what litteracy really is,its not about degrees,it is all about social values
Comment: After reading some of these comments I have no doubt that we, as Americans, are definitely failing the literacy test. This is troubling because we cannot expect to remain a world power if our citizens are functionally illiterate.
Comment: Sweetblue330, do you think that has something to do with our country's dedication to handing out college degrees to people who really haven't earned them? Some of those people are teaching our children!
Comment: After reading some of these comments I can see that, as Americans, we are definitely failing the basic literacy test.
Comment: the 143 day that Obama in office how many time was he did his jab with this do nothing democat with a great man in office and can not get nothing pass what will Obama do push crack how bout night basket ball like the last democrap that had held the highest office in the land
Comment: How can anybody vote for Obama after he attended a racist church for twenty years.
Comment: Comment: The same way Obama and Biden supporters voted for a Wife cheaten perjury committing skank previously, that left our troops for slaughter in the Black hawk down, bombed an empty warehouse after USS cole.
Comment: Don't forget about the money he received for his Presidential library from the Saudi royalty in exchange that the Saudi government let Osama Bin Lauden go after the first World Trade Center bombing.
Comment: Very good, sometime you forget those things. We shouldn't.
Comment: Don't forget Mr Mccain's whorish ways also. Oh, and don't forget Republicans are outdated, overrated, and unmistakeably horrible! I watched that old boring ass convention....not a mention of economy, our country NOW....yeah, the present day. ANd don't hold your breathe for them to remind you a goffy republican has been leading us to hell for the last 8 years.
Don't forget that. WE won't on Nov 4th.
Comment: Obama and Biden are a great ticket to finally get this ignorant, bigoted, war mongering, corrupt, administration on the right track. Admittedly, I was never for the Cheney- Bush ticket to begin with, but I dannot believe that well-meaning people could possibly want to continue in this vein....and that is what McCain promises....John McCain is an insencere and power-hungry candidate who will do whatever it takes to win...including being completely dishonest and willing to put himself "beholdin" to the Cheney-Bush enablers.
Comment: The same way Obama and Biden supporters voted for a Wife cheaten perjury committing skank previously, that left our troops for slaughter in the Black hawk down, bombed an empty warehouse after USS cole.
Comment: THE UNITED STATES WILL BE MUCH BETTER OFF WITH BUSH/CHENEY OUT OF OFFICE. HOWEVER I DO NOT THINK A LOT OF MCCAIN BECAUSE HE SEEMS TO BE FOLLOWING PRETTY MUCH IN BUSH'S FOOTSTEPS AND THAT IS NOT GOOD.
Comment: I just hope that all those people who voted for George Bush solely on the basis of his promise to overturn Roe v. Wade remember that it hasn't been done in his 8 years of office. I don't want to get into a morals debate, but it would be very challenging for the current Supreme Court to overturn a previous Supreme Courts's decision. Let's move beyond a single issue. This country has other serious problems.
Comment: maybe you have bill that was office to keep half and hear the same old that looking for a chang go to walmark
Comment: When you consider Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 maybe he wasnt elected by the "voters' but by the vote counters
Comment: to twoshady: if George Bush was so damn good to be elected twice by us what does that say about us asan electorate now that his popularity is hovering around 20%.
Comment: Better than Joe Biden and Obama that have an approval rating of 9%
Comment: Don't foreget the Democratic Congress with 6%
Comment: If Joe Biden is so damn good why wasn't he nominated thye couple of times he entered the race for president. This appears to be a loser joining a catastrophe.ishadyman04@embarqmail.com
Comment: comment:If George Bush was so damn good why was he elected to two terms by us the voters who now know his popularity hovers around 20%.This really says a lot about our judgement. Wake up America !
Comment: Well where in the hell is the test?
Comment: Obama reachs for washington insider and experience to make up for lack of experience. This is his first real public choice to demonstrate how he would lead if president. There is nothing Obama could now say to pursuade me to consider voting for the Obama- Biden ticket. Worst possible choice for this country.
Comment: A man who can offer a varience of perspectives on different issues. Yeah, that's HORRIBLE!
Give wack-thack a woman - any woman, as long as she's young and vibrant looking, we will tell her what to say as the time comes.
Question...Who picked VP based on who can help run the country, and who picked solely based on who can just win the election? We need a president who thinks about the future.
Anybody can make a little puppet, I remember that in elementary school.
I'm ashamed mccain thinks women will just flock to him, no matter how much he thinks viagra is more important than birth control. What does Palin think about that issue? hmmmm
Comment: One political party is just as BAD as the other. They both work for corporate interests. As long as you dummies argue back and forth about which party is better, our situation will remain the same.
Comment: Well, doing EXACTLY what we are doing and then calling us dummies. WOW, you sound REAlly intelligent today.
Did you come up with this all by yourself?
You imbecile, you know nothing. How many voters have you registered today? I was in the hot Nevada sun, hitting the streets, making sure we are ready to go. Stay in your coop, dog.
Comment: Obama brings in political capital as cover for lack of experieince and selects canidate that will allow the democratic voters to try and rally behind the parties choice. His selection of Joe Biden solidly provides me with the decsion that Obama could never convince me to vote for his ticket.
Comment: These people who say they were Hillary supporters and will now vote for McCain are really a riot. They are the same jerkballs that voted for Nader in Florida and gave us this idiot and thousands of wounded and dead soldiers. The Democrats deserve GWB and they will will get more of him with McCain. An incredibly stupid party!
Comment: I was on the fence undecided Hillary supporter. Now I can vote for John McCain.
Comment: I was on the fence undecided as I supported Hillary. Now I have a clear candidate to vote for. John McCane is his name.

Comment:
If you have not seen this article, you might want to read it. It is very well written and informative. It provides readers with some insight into Barack Obamas early political career. The time between his first campaign for the Illinois State Senate in 1995 and his race for U.S. Senate in 2004, which can fairly be called the LOST YEARS, the span of years that you never hear Obama talk much about.

Comment: so what some people don't like the croc shoe some of us people do they are great down here in the south, great for the water, boating, gardening, just to hack around in. Its a great product. I wish i had thought of it.. I think these days people just complain to complain, heck they probably have uguly shoe in their closet, just take a look.. I love the crock and i love kenneth coles , merrells and others brands
but heck i can afford all of my shoes and I am paying for them. not the guy complaing. Thanks Croc company.
Comment: I live in the south and we love the crocs they are great water shoes boat shoes garden shoe get em dirty wash them out i think whoever complains and take a look in their own closet they may have some of the uguliest shoes too...
So what they don't like them they don't have to buy them for those of us who do good for the croc company
Comment: this is simply the most barbaric quiz i have ever taken; in fact, any dim-witted, narrow minded, simpleton could write about complete b.s. Obama 08!!!!! the culminating moment in my history will be felt as soon as this lame-duck Bush is out. It's time for an effective leader with sound policies and a logical approach to the many challenges we as a nation and as a world face i.e. global warming, energy efficiency, foreign relations-national security. Ultimately, we are heavily relying on an approach that will incorporate the international community and will closely examine the multi-faceted problems we face and hopefully we will soundly make some progress.
Comment: I hope you are voting for obama based on his stance relative to the items you have listed, and for no other reason, i.e. race.
Comment: How odd that this is your post on the Global Literacy Quiz. Can't you find some more appropriate place to put your rant.
I was disappointed in the quiz. I guess I didn't realize it would be about "pop culture."
Comment: I won't vote for Obama that's for sure. The reason is that I don't have USA citizenship. He just might lose his presidency becuase of my lacking vote!
Comment: I'm not going to vote for Obama because I don't have USA citzenship. What a pity! Might be my lacking vote would cost him presidency.
Comment: Well, I can't get the quiz to work-- It goes to the 2nd page warning me I have to answer fast and then hangs. But I can assure you that I will not be voting against Obama because I think he's Muslim. In fact, if he were Muslim, he'd probably understand that it isn't ok to murder babies because you find their potential birth inconvenient. He certainly wouldn't be all but advocating full out infanticide in the name of "rights." W do not have a right to take the lives of others, no matter how inconvenient or difficult their existence. Since Prol-life is now a dirty word within the Democratic party, I have no choice but to vote Republican, though I am far from being a Republican. It's just that the right to exist is far more important than any other right. If it is ok to kill anyone who gets in the way of your pursuit of whatever lifestyle you want, then pretty much nothing else matters at all--not healthcare, not poverty, not crime, war, prison problems-- NOTHING. There is no point to freedom if you aren't guaranteed the right to continue breathing so long as God ordains it possible. When my party starts to understand this basic concept of logic again, then maybve I can return to voting for the economic policy and social programs I prefer.
Comment: nope, sorry. If he were Muslim, actually, he would understand that it isn't ok to kill babies because you find their potential birth inconvenient. Obama does NOT understand that. He all but advocates infanticide in the name of protecting "rights." No one has a right to take someone ele's life, no matter how inconvenient they find that person's existence! That is why I will vote Republican, though otherwise, I am most certainly NOT a Republican. When the democrats get that some things are just more important than others and quit ignoring those of us who are pro life Democrats, they will fare better. Until then, I have no choice but to abandon my party on basic moral principles. Having a right to continue existing is far more necessary than pretty much anything else.
Comment: This one was pretty good. I'm surprised I knew so much of the information. I wonder how many idiots would get the is Obama a Muslim question wrong if it were on here? I just saw on CNN, they don't care what his ACTUAL religion is, they have just replaced BLACK with MUSLIM, so that's the politically correct thing to say....I'm not voting for him cause he's MUSLIM. Even though EVERYBODY knows he's not, That's the excuse.
UGH. I'm going to see Obama Saturday in Nevada.
I want to shed a tear for him, cause you can't do right for some folks, no matter what you try and do for them.
Comment: tough one,,,, but had fun doing it,,,
Comment: LET'S DO IT
Comment: Actually its more than four. William Henry Harrison also served as a brigadier general during the War of 1812. If the question is "which president held the rank of general without qualifications, like brigadier or lieutenant, then only Eisenhower makes the cut.
Comment: There is a mistake in your quiz.
4 presidents have been generals:, Washington, Jackson, Grant, Eisenhower
Comment: 4 US presidents have been generals
Washington, Jackson, Grant, Eisenhower.
Comment: This was funny - almost all the questions had to do with TV shows - I never watch TV like that, only the news and documentaries, or the odd comedy program... never TV series like Sex in the City, EGADS! The only one I got all four right on was the matching of the artwork to the city/museum, and that was mostly by fluke! Is 710 a good score or a lousy one?
Comment: I entered the correct place of birth for the two and it said I was incorrect.
Comment: the test did not work.....somehow the link could be misdirected.......
Comment: didn't work for me either nowhatthep18
Comment: didn't work for me either nowhatthep18
Comment: they didn't include andrew jackson as a president who was a general, as already noted. also, they didn't include zachary taylor. or william henry harrison. any others? they could argue that they meant a full, four-star general, as opposed to a brigadier, major, or lieutenant general.
Comment: I read Newsweek every week... But score a 600. Maybe they are too heavy on the Brangelina / Brittany news. Ask me about Amy Winehouse!
Comment: okay. doesn't work. cannot get past "ok, take the quiz now!"
Comment: Below is a link to a video recently released that is very entertaining for those who have not seen it yet.
