"Yeah, I admit that I used to be an Obama hater, but he is a good guy" [View all]


Yesterday had a session with a law enforcement officer. We talk about policy and economic facts and people will comment on politics.

Yesterday the guy said

"Yeah I started out hating the guy but clearly he's doing what he thinks is right and does what he says he will. I am a conservative but I found myself getting caught up in this wild anti Obama hatred. Yeah I admit that I used to be an Obama hater, but he is a good guy."


I get it over and over again and it reminds me of Lincolns bromide;

"You can fool some of the people all of the time or you can fool all of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
