I'm just not going all out rock-star groupie on him like it seems some people are doing. I'm too old for that and have seen too many lying bastards go back on their words.

Not trusting a politician is called "democracy".......small "d" democracy is based on not-trusting they will do what they say. You have to hold them to their word.

Mouthing the words vs. actually doing the act are two different things. Seeing is believing.
