Nobody Is Listening

No one's really listening to the president now. He has been for five years a nonstop wind-up talk machine. Most of it has been facile, bland, the same rounded words and rounded sentiments, the same soft accusations and excuses. I see him enjoying the sound of his voice as the network newsman leans forward eagerly, intently, nodding at the pearls, enacting interest, for this is the president and he is the anchorman and surely something important is being said with two such important men engaged.

But nothing interesting was being said! Looking back on this presidency, it has from the beginning been a 17,000 word New Yorker piece in which, calmly, sonorously, with his lovely intelligent voice, the president says nothing, or little that is helpful, insightful or believable. "I'm not a particularly ideological person." "It's hard to anticipate events over the next three years." "I don't really even need George Kennan right now." "I am comfortable with complexity." "Our capacity to do some good . . . is unsurpassed, even if nobody is paying attention."

Nobody is!

He gave a speech on the National Security Agency, that bitterly contested issue, the other day. Pew Research found half of those polled didn't notice. National Journal's Dustin Volz wrote that Americans greeted the speech with "collective indifference and broad skepticism." Of the 1 in 10 who'd followed it, more than 70% doubted his proposals would help protect privacy.

The bigger problem is that the president stands up there Tuesday night with ObamaCare not a hazy promise but a fact. People now know it was badly thought, badly written and disastrously executed. It was supposed to make life better by expanding coverage. It has made it worse, by throwing people off coverage. And—as we all know now but did not last year—the program was passed only with the aid of a giant lie. Now everyone knows if you liked your plan, your doctor, your deductible, you can't keep them.

When the central domestic fact of your presidency was a fraud, people won't listen to you anymore.

I go into businesses where the tv is on in the mornings..........and it's never on FOX News, mostly on Today Show and I've never seen/heard them talk about anything of substance. So some people have no idea of what is really going on in this country. Will they wake up? Maybe when it affects THEM directly.....which of course it is doing now. They just haven't felt the prick of the needle. But they will soon...

I work a part-time job in the afternoons so that I can afford my bad habit of farming.

The office where I work has three wall-mounted televisions. One is always tuned to CNN, one is always tuned to MSNBC, and the third is always tuned to ESPN.

These people have no idea in this world what is going on in this world.

However, my paycheck comes twice a month, so I guess I'll continue to ignore the televisions and let the folks stew in their own ignorance.

Sad but true.

That's an understatement. I still remember people like Alice claiming that obama's lying about his Bio didn't matter...wonder if it does now?

Nobody was listening, to the warnings, before he got elected the first time, or the 2nd time.

And now they are just not listening, so they can continue to ignore, what they didn't listen to in 2008.

Well let's just hope the rating of the State of Union Address are as low as his job approval ratings. Then maybe the networks will get the idea that people are not listening to him any more and will stop broadcasting HIS EVERY LIE.

I remember when it was extra special to watch the US President speaking on TV. Now it is a daily friggin event, you can't even watch the late night Talk shows without him showing up, LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH. When he does speak, he has to be Fact checked, then the Fact checkers have to be checked as they are all liberals telling you that he is not lying only to have time prove HE WAS. :mad:

The media sold their credibility to get this incompetent twit in office and now you can't trust anything any of them say. ANd you can bet your last dollar they will turn around and do the same da*n thing to get Hillary elected. She will lie to their faces and they will spew it back out as FACT until time proves she is nothing but a LIAR like her husband and Obama.

But don't bother voicing any objections to what she does as the media will tag you as a woman hater just like they tagged you a racist when you objected to Obama destructive far left agenda to transform the US into a socialist nanny state.
