I *get* it, the majority of Americans don’t find politics intriguing, therefore they downplay its significance and tell themselves that their attention is better focused on truly self-relevant pursuits. If they do tune in on the 5 o’clock they will find the Main Stream Media (MSM) throwing out the talking points and accept them as the truth. Thus is true with my latest revelation, that while I am aware that most will find this to be an insignificant detail, it’s just lively embodiment of the fact that all political machines are lying to us, we accept it and we therefore receive more of it.
You may have heard of this little faux pas:
To which the Obama Administration replied, and the vast majority accept:
Judge for yourself:
I realize the actual outcome could mean very little as time goes on. But consider this:
* This Administration is, in fact, inexperienced, as was suggested previously.
* This Administration is capable and comfortable with lying to you, insinuating that you are too stupid to consider the alternative to their lines or apathetic to it.
* This Administration is not the Internationally strong powerhouse of influence that you may have been wishing for. In fact, in light of the fact that they can’t take a stand on such an insignificant fact, are you willing to entrust your future security to such mishandling?
If nothing changes, and by that I mean your willingness to invest, we can continue to expect lying and manipulation. Maybe three years from today, no one will remember the BOW heard round the world, but what would be remembered is political courage vast enough in it’s influence to require the elected to check themselves before they throw out blind spin and ask us to lap it up like dogs.
