The Great Orator Lies Through His Teleprompter
Maybe Wilson was right when he yelled "YOU LIE" at the President. Here are some excerpts from the State of the Union:
Our most urgent task upon taking office was to shore up the same banks that helped cause this crisis. It was not easy to do. And if there’s one thing that has unified Democrats and Republicans, it’s that we all hated the bank bailout. I hated it. You hated it. It was about as popular as a root canal.
Then why, oh great one, were you all for it while you were a Senator? It wasn't because it was "necessary" to save the Union, it was because it was necessary to grab power from the public sector.
And we haven’t raised income taxes by a single dime on a single person. Not a single dime.
Bovine excrement. They weren't raised effective 2009 or 2010 - they go into effect for 2011.
