We all must have heard it a thousand times or more “Bush Lied!” The reality is that Bush made a judgment based on information that he received and that many Democrats agreed with that ultimately turned out to be wrong. Somehow that is lying. In my lexicon, lying is when you say something is true when you know it to be false. It’s not when you honestly think it is true and you find out later that you were wrong.
We’re Gonna Debate This on C-Span
There is no lack of video clips where Obama spoke to the voters and told them straight up that if he is elected the debate on health care would be open. So open, it would be carried on C-Span. I have not heard the speech from Obama where he says that he has demanded others in his party (Reid and Pelosi) to put this on C-Span but they flat out refused. If you can say that Bush lied, certainly what Obama did is a whopper of a lie. So where is the vanguard of veracity, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews of the leg tingle, Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, the Daily Kos, et al? Can anyone say, fair and balanced?
If Bush Lied, Did Obama?
