Of course, maybe I should just explain this using Hanlon's Razor? "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." |

I have to agree, at this point my assessment has reached the point where I believe that President Obama is the most dishonest man to occupy the White House in my lifetime (and I was around during the Nixon Administration). I guess it will be at least interesting to see the dog & pony show as the White House sycophants attempt to spin a justification for the President to go back on yet another promise. On the positive side this provides more ammunition when writing my representative urging her to vote against this bill (not that she pays much attention to what I have to say) and will be a significant point when campaigning against her re-election if she does vote for it. |
