How shocked will the uninformed be tonight after the President states the truth about the [View all]

state of the nation. Will anyone yell "Liar!?" Those who are glued to Fox are told one set of lies for who knows how long, and then when the actual story is told, the shock. Climate problems, stock market, education, raising the minimum wage, the continuing war in the Middle East and what he is doing about it... The unemployment rate and of course, the cursed ACA. The truth will be news to the uninformed and I'm wondering how the three responses will handle it. Perhaps they will ignore what the President said, I'm looking forward to it..
