ADMINISTRATION: JUDGE US BY OUR DEEDS

"What matters is what we were doing on terrorism, not whether there is a speech on terrorism..."

It's not like I was listening real closely anyway, but this fellow seems to be saying to not take the content of the administration's speeches seriously. I don't believe I've ever heard of a such a thing. Why? Because their speeches are not reflective of the administration's actual beliefs? Because they are just talk and not substantive? Because they are designed to be untruthful? Enquiring minds want to know.
