During a town hall meeting at Wyffels Hybrids in Atkinson, Illinois, a farmer expressed concern to President Obama about forthcoming regulations. The man stated that people would rather be farming than "filling out forms and permits to do what we like to do." President Obama told the farmer "don't always believe what you hear" and blamed Washington for ginning up speculation.

“President Obama told the farmer “don’t always believe what you hear” and blamed Washington for ginning up speculation.’

That’s just brillant. What leadership skills.

To use a quote from Don Rickles when he once roasted Ronald Reagan, I’ll use it for Zero, but not a joke:

“Black, white, Jew, Gentile, we are all working for one cause: to figure out how you became President”

Obama has got to be the dumbest man to ever hold any office.

If farm bureaus around the nation hadn't ridden up fast once we learned of Obama's regulatory plan to require Commercial Driver's Licensing and commercial vehicle registration for all farms, farmers, and our equipment it would have slid by in the dark of night.

I wish he was dumb. At least he’d stop saying stupid things.

I don’t think BO has a clue about most of the stuff his administration is doing. They are in liberal utopia mode with a totally absent president who doesn’t question or stand in their way. He just wants to play golf and vacation and party. “Don’t believe what you hear” is just a lame way to get the man to shut up. BO is a lazy bum who directs others to do his work for him and boy are they doing it.

The farmer told Obama he was spending a lot of time filling out forms and Obama responds by saying, “Don’t believe everything you hear?”

The response doesn’t even make sense.

When you are on a bus tour, you are supposed to listen to people’s problems. The farmer told him directly about a problem he was personally experiencing and then Obama implies that the farmer somehow just heard the problem from someone else?

Unbelievable.

We have a city councilwoman who would give Obummer a good run for the money in the "Most Idiotic Public Official" Contest.

I don’t believe anything Obama says, but I doubt that’s what he meant.
