Deceit, deceit all around

  Powerline has a report on Jim Moran, who appears to be claiming that Americans are racist and that's why they voted out all those white male democrats in November to usher in several black males and several females who happen to be Republican. Here's Powerline's take on what he said. You can read the whole story here and watch the video.
In this case, I believe, a lot of people in the United States don't want to be governed by an African-American, particularly one who is liberal, who wants to spend money and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society....
  Deceit. 
  The Hill reports that over 500 more NEW waivers have been granted to companies who cannot afford to institute obamacare. So obamacare was for the good of the country? Why is everyone who's friends with Obama getting out of having to do it then? 
  In one case, SEIU unions that contributed $27 million to Obama's campaign have received waivers.
  Go here to read:
The law gives HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius the flexibility to grant waivers to avoid disruption in the insurance market, but Republicans say the waivers are either gifts to Democratic allies or proof that the reform law isn’t working. However, a large number of businesses, in addition to unions, have received waivers. 
  Deceit.
  It's bad enough we had to listen to all the stupid calls for bipartisanship from the administration who gloated, "I won" and then never bothered to call any Republican leadership in for the last two years.
  But that the Republicans would fall for the whole "Let's sit together" thing was galling. Now comes proof just how ridiculous the whole thing was, when one democrat doesn't even know the name of "the guy" he sat next to.

  Deceit.
  Pelosi says, "Obama's always been in the middle," while she blinky blinks her way through an interview. Watch at Real Clear Politics.
  Deceit.
  Old Alcee Hastings claims violent speech/rhetoric inspired Loughner, when it obviously wasn't so. From Weasel/Politico, Hastings' words:
Giffords was shot — and six others tragically murdered — in part because our violent political expression inspired a mentally unstable person, who had preposterously easy access to previously banned weapons. The pundits can repeatedly claim that Jared Lee Loughner was a “madman.” But we all know that he was neither the first nor the last.
  Deceit. 
  Then, of course, there's the revelation that two of the primary claims of obamacare simply aren't true, revealed at last by this administration's own employees. Over at Fox Nation and all around the web:

Two of the central promises of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law are unlikely to be fulfilled, Medicare's independent economic expert told Congress on Wednesday.
The landmark legislation probably won't hold costs down, and it won't let everybody keep their current health insurance if they like it, Chief Actuary Richard Foster told the House Budget Committee. His office is responsible for independent long-range cost estimates.
  Deceit.
