There lies the problem. Obama speaks in soundbytes. The sheeple don't have the attention span to listen someone like Ron Paul, for example, on economic issues because it takes a couple hours to address every problem, explain how we got here and the solution. Otherwise they'd understand liberty and economic liberty benefits all, except for the santa claus voters.
Nor do they have the critical thinking ability to differentiate the difference between the math problem below. Most hear Obamas ads that Romney paid less taxes than someone making $50,000. Umm, no, he paid a lower tax rate because all of his income was through investments, which are taxed at the capital gains tax rate. 15% of 20 million is still more than the income tax rate of $50,000 (median income).
