Fuzzy Facts.....

Washington DC, and therefore the Country, is in the middle of a mess....Day 19 of the government shutdown affecting so many "non-essential" government employees. So many families wondering if they can meet their financial obligations without depositing their paychecks as usual. Now some of us are lucky enough to have savings accounts that would cover mortgage payments, rent, food, clothing, school costs, health costs etc. for a number of months.....but many other families are living on the edge. If that paycheck doesn't come they start calling creditors asking for extensions.

And then, last night, 45 gave his first address from the oval office.....we didn't watch. But, obviously, we woke this morning to lots of coverage of the "event" and the response from the Democrats.

The thing that I find so interesting and disturbing and frightening is that we hear words pop out of 45's mouth and then we hear other experts using terms like "fuzzy facts", "misrepresentation", "lies" as they analyze his remarks. Really.....for his entire term in office it seems he just can't get the facts straight....and interprets everything to support his own agenda. I'm sure he's not the first politician to do this, but in my memory, he's the first President to do so....over and over and over and over. And the first to make a concrete statement while the cameras are rolling and then a week later states with authority "I never said that." Duh.

And his minions scramble to "walk him back".... to "explain what he meant"..."to cover his tracks"... to "re-analyze his interpretations". It's just ridiculous and I am hoping many of our elected officials start to develop a back bone and make this government work for the people as it should. We have three branches of government and I, one voter in Wisconsin, demands that they find a way to get things done! Do the jobs we sent them to Washington to do....and put this government back to work.

He won't pay attention to the educated studies that refute all of his "facts"......so don't waste time trying to convince him.....he doesn't read reports. He doesn't accept anything from others since his is the biggest brain in the world.

Fuzzy facts......OMG.
