My God, MORE LIES!!

This is getting silly, but here we go again...

In a press conference today, Obama was going on about the horrors that lye in wait to steal food out of your mouth and the TP from your bathroom as the sequester begins it's reign of terror. He once again blamed republicans for all the grief and all the damage that it will cause, stating "They [republicans] have allowed these cuts to happen, because they have refused to budge on closing a single wasteful loop hole to reduce the deficit."  - President Obama, 3/1/2013

Had I still had food in my mouth, I would have spit it out as I nearly fell off my TP-less toilet when I heard this. Sure the term wasn't labeled 'wasteful' when Mitt Romney proposed this very idea as part of a tax reform idea that was 'defeated' back in November, but when John Boehner tried to submit a plan to the White house in December to avoid raising taxes, like we just did as part of the Fiscal Cliff Deal. I believe the words used at the time where "a step backwards" and "not serious". On top of that, to steal a page from the White House playbook, was this not an idea submitted by Bowles in the Bowles-Simpson plan as a way to reduce the deficit. A Democrat in a committee created by... wait for it... the President?

On top of that, while fielding questions, he just kept on making stuff up, he mentions that Custodial staff at the capitol have already been given a pay reduction, well GUESS WHAT! There is a document sent to the employees that work at the capitol, doing things like taking out the garbage and sweeping the floors. Turns out, that they saw these coming a mile away and planned and prepared for it. Kudos to the managers on the Hill for having no faith that their bosses wouldn't figure out anything to help them out.

This, however, does not change one little fact, that this President is lying through his teeth, he can't figure out what story to sell us, he's running low on ways to keep blaming the right for why nothing there is working. I'm just so frustrated that the guy who was hired to lead is instead taking cheep shots and so blatantly misleading. Is he that confident that he won't be called out on this? Does he know he has a majority of people in his corner no matter what? Is the 47% Romney talked about finally at 51%?

My head hurts, I need a nap. Wake me when it's over.
