1. Getting to the point that I don't want to listen to him anymore
Every time he talks I believe what he says and then he turns around and does the opposite..Actions do speak louder than words..

2. Good point...
Actually, I have never listened to the guy. I have found that if one looks at what politicians DO, and makes a conscious effort to block out what they SAY (just view it as background noise), it provides a much better, truer picture of what's really going on.

So... I don't watch TV news - ever. I never watch political "debates", and I never watch news conferences. It's all theater. I analyze politicians' voting records, contributors lists, cabinet level decisions and behavior, and other specific actions. If everyone did that, 75% of the country would register as independents, Obama would have a 25% approval rating, Dennis Kucinnich would be a leading contender for the presidency, and both the Republican and Democratic corporate parties would be footnotes in history.

Q: How can you tell when a politician is lying?
A: When his lips move.

Why would anyone waste their precious time listening to a politician bloviate?

3. Always PC to knock those in power, but speaking to better policy, explaining media's errors are
important. Helping Congress help him should be our first response.
