The Bait and Switch

62. Of course not. You can disagree with a policy without calling him a liar. We all do it.

Sorry, but real GOP behavior would be pretending I don't see moral aberrations in my own political party.

I think tea party republicans see 'moral aberrations' in Boehner and his sort all the time.

I think American people realize that our President, whatever party is from, can't always tell us everything.

Of course not. But calling him a liar is not the same as saying he is not telling us everything. I do expect tea party republicans to "cry out, LIAR!!!"

President Obama has perhaps been overly trained in PR thinking and political tricks - and perhaps he doesn't even think of "LOOK OVER HERE!" as a lie. But if it is, ultimately, a bait and switch, it ultimately is a lie.

So basically, Obama may not really be lying on purpose. But because he is so trained in 'political tricks', he just doesn't know any better. At least you're not "crying out, LIAR".
