you think this kind of lying is "politics as usual" so you don't think it is a big deal. No, I don't think its politics as usual but I don't see it all lying as you seem to think. For an example, the ideal way to operate is to pay as you go but there are times when that is not feasible. Many economists agree this is one of these times and I tend to agree. Frankly, I think you're pulling the plug a little to fast....give a few months and see how you feel then about his performance.

"What would happen if we simply treated all of these greasy pole climbers as ordinary human beings -- "poor, bare, forked animals" like the rest of us -- instead of turning them into fantasy figures imbued with embodiment and magic and goodness? The only extraordinary thing about them -- their craving for dominion over others -- is the very thing that should most repulse us, and make us wary, not draw us to them with awe, loyalty and affection. In all else, they share our common imperfections. Why then not judge them by what they actually do -- not by what they embody, not by how wiggly it makes us feel to surrender our minds and wills and judgments to a fantasy -- and hold them accountable for their actions in the real world?" chris-floyd.com
