I don't mind changing my mind. At times I have felt the President is 'waffling' and disingenuous.
I have, at this juncture, understood that the media, both ultra left and extreme right, are responsible for what we think the President is saying.
When I listen to the President speaking for himself he comes across as an honest man trying very hard to solve problems that he has had placed in his lap.
When I listen to the left and the right they obfuscate this based on their ideologies.
In my mind the reasons for this is that the 'left' and the 'right' are puppets of a corporately controlled media and are in fact performing 'voodoo' on the public that consumes it.
William Burroughs said this: " Let them see what is on the end of the long newspaper spoon."
We are being spoon fed shit by the media.
About the Presidents speech. Listen to what he is saying. He is trying to reason with people who are bought and sold to entities who are not democratic or egalitarian.
When I listen to him he makes the most sense. When I listen to the left and the right it turns into gibberish.
All I am saying is listen and think for yourself without the aid of an ideology as an interpreter. Listen to him as if he were a man trying to solve a problem. How would you approach solving this problem?
If it turns out he is a lying sack of shit, well at least you won't be surprised. But suppose you are surprised at finding he is honestly trying to solve a problem.
Then what?
I believe the guy can tell the difference between shit and shinola.
