If You’ve Nothing Good To Say…

Seeing as how fond the president is of personal anecdotes/conventional wisdom/down home sayings, etc, then surely he must be familiar with the title.
It’s reaching the point where I’m wishing that politicians would simply stop telling us what they’re (supposedly) doing.
Because all they do is lie.
And none have done it so well as PBO. It helps, of course, that people want to believe him. He oozes false charm and superficial bravado in much the same way as a used-car salesman (my apologies if that’s you, dear reader, but you’re still special to me).
So why not just tell us nothing at all? I know that’d make me happier. Ignorance, after all, is bliss. Anyone disagree? If so, just think of all the mind-blowingly dense people whom you know/see, but who are also far more content in their own primitive ways.
If politicians were to stop giving interviews, like this one with C-Span host Chris Scully for instance, then I could spare myself the mental anguish caused by reading complete nonsense.
During the interview, President Obama admitted that “We are out of money”, which he somehow blames on “our failure to make some good decision on health care over the last several decades”, before going on to say that “we had to spend a lot of money” anyways.
The man has the memory of a goldfish. No sooner is it out of his mouth, then it’s forgotten. And I thought Biden was the world champion at that.
It’s bad enough that Obama has the power to do as he pleases; it’s even worse that he’s duplicitous enough to deny what he’s doing.
