Obama, the Liar-In-Chief

[Jim in CT]

I'm watching the Olympics last night, and I see an Obama commercial. He talked about Romney's proposed tax plan, which an independent firm says would raise taxes on the middle class, and lower taxes for the wealthy. I have no problem with Obama saying that, because that really happened.

Here's where Obama shows what a bold-faced liar he is...

Obama then says something to this effect...

"this kind of trickle-down tax effect has been tried before, and it's the reason the economy failed in the first place".

I have heard Obama say this many times, that the Bush tax cuts caused the economic collapse. Earth to liberals...the subprime mortgage crisis, and fishy financial products tied to mortgages, caused this recession. NOT TAX CUTS.

How can Obama say this with a straight face? How can any thinking, knowledgable person vote for him? Obama cannot fix the econmomy, if he refuses to admit what the underlying problem is!

That's the difference between conservatives and liberals today. On the conservative side, you have a guy like Paul Ryan say "I hate proposing this, but the numbers are irrefutable. Social Security and Medicare are not sustainable, so they need to be fixed."

What's the liberal response to this? Do they offer different numbers, to suggest that everything is OK? No.

Do they admit that there is a massive problem, but offer a different solution? No.

So what do they do? They say "See? Paul Ryan hates old people and poor people!!", and they (literally) make a commercial of Ryan pushing a wheelchair-bound old lady off a cliff. That's their strategy - demonize conservatives, and then maintain the status quo.

Spence, PaulS, RIROCKHOUND, please tell me, exactly, where I'm wrong here? If I say Obama is a flat-out liar for saying tax cuts caused the recession, why would that be wrong?

Can't wait for your responses...
