Interesting story but suffers from the title being misleading. It is not Obama but the American election process and how MSM covers the news that blinds us. If the story was titled Blinded by the Political Process I think people would not be as offended. Russian president Medvedev understood that historically American voters focus on candidates only during this time period. The point that the story makes that more important news is occurring in the world during this time period is valid. If they would rename the video then I think people would be more receptive. There was one statistic that was incorrect that another reviewer pointed out.
