On His Last Day in Office, Obama Will Still Be Talking About What He Inherited By: Jim Geraghty The Campaign Spot Ah, the inevitable, "I inherited" section on the deficit, in which President Obama was careful not to mention "I inherited" or Bush. The short version is, "my deficits were necessary to save us from a depression; my predecessor's deficits were because of two wars, a tax cut for the rich, and a prescription drug benefit that wasn't paid for." The spending freeze does not get anything resembling applause from Pelosi; not much in the chamber, period. campaignspot.nationalreview.com

Yes. When Wilson called the President a liar, I thought it wrong. Since then I have changed by mind. I don't see how these politicians can stand before the American People and blatently lie and then make a claim on our respect. The argument that we should respect the office has some weight. But when the holders of political just lie and lie and then claim we should respect the office it steams me. Where is their respect for the office they hold? Why do they feel they can lie with impunity, and disrespect the office and then expect us to respect the office. The State of the Union message was just one long lie interruped by Democratic applause. lj
