I speak particularly about the "does Wright love American as much as you" and about the woman asking Obama about a flag pin. Beyond that, spending half of the debate on such issues is clearly too much.

But to be honest, a lot of people really do not care that much about politics. Sure they may vote, but they vote on what the media says is the front runner, or who their friends and family are voting for, and they just don't care. But then again those are the same people most likely to complain. If they are more interested in bowling scores of presidential candidate and Britney Spears, so be it. The media only shows what the people want to see (which is why they repeat so many bad stories).
