Well, you know mountaingirl, it's living according to the old adage 'Consider the source.' If the source proves to be reliable, take the criticism to heart. Actually, even if the source is bad, my practice is to see if there is even a grain of truth in the criticism, and work on that.
In this case, there is no grain at all..... there is no truth in the criticism, the source is a sad little man, my conscience is absolutely free, and I still love the President! :o)
