TRUTH TO POWER: Obama’s traveling show encounters an unexpected moment in Ohio.

Obama said, “You inspire me.”

And you know how the members of that crowd in the most Democratic district of Ohio responded to that campaigning Democratic president’s professed sincerity this time?

They laughed at him.

“Okay,” Obama insisted, “you do.”

And the president, like a pro pol, continued with his speech, as if nothing had happened.

More people will be laughing at him before it’s over.

UPDATE: “Hey, those students inspire me! They know how to detect bullshit.” Indeed.
