As Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." Let's hope he was right.
But perhaps the more germane quote is from George W. Bush: “You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.”
