On Bullshitters
Our guest columnist is Douglas Brinkley, speaking to Rolling Stone.
We arrived at the Oval Office for our 45-minute interview… on the morning of October 11th.…
As we left the Oval Office, executive editor Eric Bates told Obama that he had asked his six-year-old if there was anything she wanted him to say to the president.… [S]he said, “Tell him: You can do it.”
Obama grinned.… “You know, kids have good instincts,” Obama offered. “They look at the other guy and say, ‘Well, that’s a bullshitter, I can tell.'”
Politico, reporting the Rolling Stone excerpt, also offers a helpful link to “PHOTOS: 21 potty-mouthed politicians”.
Obama says kids know Romney is dishonest [Politico]
If Romney somehow manages to win, it’s food blogging, cars, and celebrities. You will never read another word from me about how stupid my country is ….
As a nation we’d probably be a lot better off if the six-year-olds decided which candidate would become president. They haven’t yet been trained to accept the complete and utter crap we adults swallow without a whimper. Kudos to the President for stating a simple truth.
@Dave H:
The problem is that mental six year olds are.
Now thirteen-year-olds, OTOH, can shovel with the best of them, while pretending to be soooo innocent.
@Dave H: There’s a Nickelodeon (I think) kids poll that has recently been highly predictive of presidential elections. Probably because the Nick Kids parrot their parents.
This year’s choice? Obama.
