Must resist urge to continue silly debate, must resist, will to resits failing, urrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

1) At least 50% of the voting public didn't seem to have any problems with it the way you do (hardly a "majority of those who heard it interpreted it in the bad way"). Ok maybe they all didn't hear the interview and the subsequent republican attack machine (although how they could miss it is beyond me), that's still sufficient evidence that you have failed to show your case beyond a reasonable doubt. Plenty of reasonable people disagree.

2) In no way did I say that politicians should not be held acountable. Just that you should tend to believe them rather than not. And while we're on the subject isn't it better to hold them acountable for their policies and ideas rather than whether they occasionally have problems with the English language? i.e. Isn't the never ending spinning and misrepresentation and doing your damnest to hang the other guy rather than give him the benefit of the doubt the true bad thing here?
