Apparently, that business owner is clueless regarding Obamacare and how it will affect business.

I think you are trying to say something here, like educated people will vote to the left. With statistics like this Republicans should not send their kids to college, or more likely, their support base exists outside of cities. Rural people are usually conservative so nothing new there. What the Republicans have grasped is their support isn't among those 47%, Romney said it, so if you alienate 47% of the country you aren't left with much to work with. I expect that given that situation they did well to get as close as they did in the popular vote.
As I've siad for a long time those with lower than average intelligence have got to live somewhere, perhaps you have found them

Most of them flock to cities... they aren't smart enough to survive in the wilds of suburbia much less rural areas..
Not to mention being educated does not make you smarter... there are plenty of very dumb people walking around with College degrees that don't have much of a capacity to think through a situation...
Remembering facts to pass tests is one thing... it doesn't automatically mean you are smart enough to apply them in the real world. I've seen many people like that.

smoothy a bit of a trog attitude there. I think it very likely that, since a college education has become a product in the US, that many people buy the product and do little with it. You say education doesn't make you smarter, maybe, but it broadens your horizons and hopefully provides some skills.
You don't have to be smart to survive in rural areas, you have to be adaptive.

Stick your average College grad in the outback... he's going to die... stick the average dumb person in the outback he's going to die...
The simple act of going to college doesn't make you smart... you are born with that.
Educated does not always equal smart. Nor does lacking a college degree make someone dumber.
I have actually known people who could test well in College... in Engineering no less... that couldn't actually do the job well because while they were able to memorize a lot... then were horrible bad at being able to use it because remembering something , and understanding something aren't always the same thing.
These people were in my graduating class at College... They Graduated at the top of the class... and got NO offers by graduation while I got several. Yes I knew them well enough to know they really couldn't apply themselves like many of us could. And I was about at the top third point.

How ago was that? I doubt the world is still the same as when we were in college, and a lot has happened besides the current president since you had YOUR opportunity to apply what YOU memorized to the real world.

Obama the Magic well you know what did not magically transform anything except our credit rating from good to almost junk. Jack up our Unemployment rates and ruin everything... The world has not changed that much in my lifetime either... and the basic reality of life remains what it always was... at least for those who actually live in the real world... who knows what goes in in the minds of those who exist in the fantasy world.
Obama isn't King Midas either... because everything he has touched has turned to Feces and not gold.

Hello again, tom:

Let me see if I can help...
I'm a PROPONENT of conservative principles. That includes smaller, smarter government, lower taxes and government OUT of my personal life...
If conservatives did THAT, they'd be on TOP of the world.
But, conservatives went for the okee doak - first from the religious right, and second from conservative entertainment media. Consequently, SOCIAL issues have taken the forefront. And, conservatives LOSE on social issues.
Those conservatives who adhere to the William F. Buckley school of Republicanism, are FAR from stupid. But, the ditto heads, the Hannity fans, the listeners of all the vile right wing radio in this country, are VERY STUPID. Not, only are they STUPID, they're RUINING the Republican party.
