Fact Checking

Truth, assumptions, full disclosure, the gritty details - the question is, why should we trust a President?

It brings to mind a quote I saw in 1984 or by the business guru Peter Drucker - who said in effect, "Of course rock stars are more popular than Presidents, rock stars are impotent! They can do nothing to affect your life except what you grant them power to effect - Presidents, on the other hand, make decisions daily with ramifications for what you can or can't do with your life."

So simple, so obvious - how is it that we ever forget such a thing?
