Today's is more of a reflection of Obama's confused, core-less-ness than an outright deception.

Obama the candidate urged Americans to tighten their belts.

On fiscal matters, Obama the candidate urged Americans to tighten their belts. Once in office and saddled with recession, though, he signed a $787 billion stimulus measure and outlined a $3.6 trillion budget plan that will plunge the nation deeper into deficits. But again he paired the proposal with a new promise, to cut the deficit by more than half by the end of his first term.


If it wasn't our money it would be hilarious.
