61. I sometimes wonder what it would be like if * heard from real Americans
instead of only loyalty-oath-signing, adoring fans. If he actually heard from a genuine cross-section of real people, some who love him, some who hate him, and some who actually need to hear why his policies are good for them. The obvious problem with the filtered audiences, of course, is that it's all done for show, and the MSM has no protesters or dissenters to broadcast on the evening news, only positive sound bites. But another problem with all this is the fact that our president must think 99% of America is solidly behind him. He sees the poll numbers against him, but then sees audience after audience that are totally behind him, and he soon declares that he is successfully changing minds and winning over the opposition.

Just wondering what it would be like if he wasn't shielded from that opposition, and actually got to hear what they really think...
