Friday Lies By Intent Open Comments

Erstwhile contributor Texpat forwarded me this video of The One For Whom We’ve Been Waiting speechifying about all the jobs he’s created. He also compares his record to that of his predecessor.
While he doesn’t exactly lie per se, he does carefully choose his data points such that his record compares favorably by choosing the only interval that gives him an advantage. In all other instances, his record is found wanting.

I realize that all politicians do this to one degree or another. Obama simply has to do things this way because that’s all he’s got.
