Gee, that's pretty damning stuff. How dare our leader recommend civil debate over shrill, useless bickering? And, where does he get off reminding them that the voting public may not approve of the latter?
Did it escape everyone's notice that "the president said (it) to
sustained applause from a friendly audience, a gathering of
Veterans of Foreign Wars". It seems to me; that's a pretty qualified group of individuals to access the accuracy of his claims.
