The truth is I've never fooled anyone

American Buddhist Net, December 11, 2009

"The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving someone I wasn't. When they found this out, they would blame me for disillusioning them and fooling them."
~ Marilyn Monroe

Perhaps in Obama's future memoirs, there will be a similar quote that reads something like this:

"The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to look at what I actually did. Instead they would simply believe the crap I said in the speeches that were written for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were in love with what they thought I represented. When they found this out, long after it had become obvious that I had never fulfilled any of my campaign promises, they blamed me for disillusioning them."
