I don't think it's Americans fault either.
I would blame.... Money. As money influences, and money creates propaganda, and that effects Americans information. If we were told, Vote for this guy he will fix the economy, we would(why would our leaders lie to us?), unless the person possesses critical thinking skills, but that is not taught in American classrooms for the most part.
It is the Americans, the apathetic majority to be more exact. Our constitution gives us (the people) the power to remove every single politician every four years and replace them with new people not controlled by big business or the federal reserve.
From the day that they are elected, politicians do what ever they like and two weeks before the next election, they do something superficially positive and the apathetic majority start cumming in their pants and cannot wait to put the same dicks back into office that they bitched about for the last two or four years. Take GW for example.
Most of these apathetic Americans do not even know who their representatives are or what they are doing, but they keep putting them back in office and start bitching again.
Reheeealy
Problem with democracy; you vote for the person put in front of you by the party who wants his/her cash. You don't control who runs for democrats or republicans.
Also, it appears, as a nation, that you put a lot into religion, J.D's, MBA's, etc, as if any of them matter.
In the UK, out of 615 ish politicians, 10% are lawyers, 1% doctors, 14% are teachers(up to uni level), 19% businessmen, 4% civil servant etc. The rest are white collar workers, farmers, miners etc, a decent mix.
And don't any of you dare big up the JD or MBA.
Two words.
Santorum, Bush.
