** Mr. Obama acknowledged the public discontent with his presidency but cast it as impatience for change that he saw in letters from everyday Americans every day.

“Nothing is more heartbreaking than reading these letters and knowing that change is not coming as fast as we’d like,” he told supporters. “But here is the main message that I have for all of you: change is coming.”

Whenever someone quotes a president or politician I wonder why? I’m past the point of even thinking anything that comes out of their mouths will be in any way related to the truth of their behavior. To even quote the liar is to sort of acknowledge that his words have some kind of meaning in reality. In the middle of Bush W et al. I finally gave up on paying any attention at all to the content of the things they say. I don’t know what took me so long, its not like Clinton was a paragon of honest talk. I guess I was still hoping someone who sounded “conservative” still might be a tad better than the other guys. pffft. lol! I was so much younger then!

having said that, I suppose the loophole in my clause would be to use a quote in the manner Wretchard and some others do, to point out the utter farce that is our modern politician and to show that the truth is usually the exact opposite of what they say.
