How believable is President Obama to the public?

Sure, if you were able to keep your doctor or your health plan, or that there wasn't even a "smidgeon" of political corruption at the IRS or its officials that plead the fifth.

But if you live in the real world it is a different story.

I think some portion of the general population (sheeple) believe him, the rest, not so much.

If his lips are moving, he's lying.

I have not been able to find enough evidence to back up anything that he has stated. His intentions are clear yet he refuses that they are indeed what they truly are. They wanted change, well, they got it that's for sure.

The Obama puppet strings are being pulled by Valerie Jarrett and others in the administration. UN Samantha Power, George Soros just two.

MAJ David Vermillion My response would be; do you think POTUS really believes what he says, or is everything related to his desire to CHANGE America?

Not very. Believe only 2 % of what he says.

Not very. I would guess that he often doesn't know if he's telling the truth or not. Bob Woodward wrote in his book on the Obama White House, that the President likes to show up at the end of meetings (traditionally chaired by the President) and asks the attendees "So, what have we decided?". Then he goes with the consensus. In my experience, without background data on most issues, it's impossible to make an informed decision. So, he's relying heavily on the trustworthiness of his advisors and staff. Add to that the "Reader's Digest" version of intelligence briefings he gets and you are left with a President who is...well...uninformed?

I take anything any politician says with numerous grains of salt.

I choose to believe little. I believe he leaves out enough information to not tell the whole story, yet not enough to be considered dishonest.

I normally wait until information has been vetted by the media.
