Some of the things that a majority of Americans believe would astound you. I'm not sure that more than half can tell you the difference between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. A few years ago a survey found that Americans confused Governor Mario Cuomo with crooner Perry Como.

There was a reason Bush sounded like he was talking to children in the State of the Union speech. Pelosi and Daschle followed with the same sing-song tone in their own speeches. These are the political leaders of our times, guys. When they talk down to us like they were instructing a five-year old, there might be a reason.
