“What Obama Says vs. What He Does”

And that leads us to the reaction to his speech today directed at our kids. A large percentage of Americans just don’t trust him.

I think that your statement should be repeated often. I would guess that any Congressman or Senator who thinks that they can deal with this guy is also mistaken.
