First to Obama....we elected him and had it in our damn heads he was the Messiah or something. I say "we," as a general term. I'm Canadian, I didn't vote for anyone in the US. That said, your point is well taken. We suffer front the same lack of education here. We need to bring back Civics education. The average voter has no clue what or who they're voting for. They get their ideas from social media or maybe a celeb. They have no clue how the system works at all, yet they should talking points and sound bytes they've heard.
