Recently on Bill's show he had an executive from GM that was criticizing Pres Obama for daring to encourage people to go to college. He said that there are other great opportunities than college like trade schools. Two of Bill's panel members were trying to interrupt his diatribe explaining that that was exactly what the Pres had said. But the executive was in the bubble and acted like he couldnt hear them. His mind was made up and no amount of facts could change it.
