They are constantly

changing their minds from one position to another, which is one of
the problems that is due to their political needs and their careers.

It seems to me we have two ends to work on here: How to get correct infor mation that is capable of solving problems to our leaders
and how to educate the public. Now, if the general public doesn't

the time you'll be able to really show your responsibility, after you've
been re-elected.
DUNHAM:

Yes.
