Did you watch the state of the union address? I am going to wait for the movie to come out. After reading several summaries of the speech, it is easy to conclude that everything is still the same - politicians lie, present clouded half-truths and do everything but what they say they will do.
The best laugh seemed to be when Obama said, "Let me repeat - nothing I’m proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime." Technically he was correct. The increases will be in trillions of dollars - not dimes.
The best quote I’ve read lately about politicians and lies is this one. "I can't get excited by the question of whether Senator Robert Menendez had sex with a prostitute in Central America. It is her word against his - and when it comes to a prostitute's word against a politician's word, that is too close to call." - economist Thomas Sowell.
Before the speech, Jay Leno commented that Obama’s focus would be on jobs. He said, "Hopefully he explain to us why anybody in Congress still has one."
That’s a lot nicer than what I said.
