First Lady prevaricates

  You know, the number of lies being thrown out there by the Obama campaign is just incredible. Perhaps we could set aside the lie about Libya: to anyone who's been watching, it's been quite apparent that Obama and his people are avoiding something really nasty, particularly by claiming that the Libya uprising was due to a video. A casual mention of "acts of terror" in the Rose Garden does not merit as calling the LIbya attack a terror attack.
  Or the whole "we're drilling so much under my administration" baloney. Romney was wrong about saying federal leases are own 14%. It's far more. Something like 60%.
  But let's set all that aside.
  One blatant lie that bugs the heck out of me is the Obama lie about his grandmother, who Obama claims was a victim of the "glass ceiling," preventing her from becoming all she could be because she was a woman.
  This is simply not true in retrospect of her career.
  Obama, whose close association with communism dates back to his grandparents, neglects to mention that she was the first female vice president of a local bank, which Michelle O continues to call an "itty bitty" local bank.
  The job couldn't have been too bad since Michelle and Barack inherited $500,000 of bank stock from her.
  But that isn't the only whopper the First Lady tells.
  She is claiming that we are in the midst of a "huge recovery," apparently oblivious that the reason the unemployment rate has dropped is that millions of people have dropped out of the job seeking market, instead relying on the government to pay for their care.
  Now she's say--GACK--that her husband hasn't blamed anyone for anything, even though poor Barack inherited the worst economy in decades and entered the worst recession since the Great Depression:
First lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday that President Obama did not look to blame others for the challenges he faced as president, an apparent rebuke of Republican accusations that the White House continues to point the finger at President George W. Bush for the lagging economy. 
"See, but your president, he didn't point fingers," Michelle Obama said at a campaign fundraiser in New York. "He didn't place blame. Instead, he got to work, because he was thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother. See, and that's why he cut taxes for small businesses and for working families, because he believes that in America, teachers and firefighters should not pay higher tax rates than millionaires and billionaires."
  This indeed is Chicagoland.
  Who ya gonna believe me or your lyin' eyes territory. 
  I suppose it's foolish to even address this issue, since everyone out here knows the truth if they will only think back real hard.
  Oh, wait. 
  Obama just blamed Bush in the 2nd debate.
OBAMA: Well, think about what the governor — think about what the governor just said. He said when I took office, the price of gasoline was $1.80, $1.86. Why is that? Because the economy was on the verge of collapse, because we were about to go through the worst recession since the Great Depression, as a consequence of some of the same policies that Governor Romney’s now promoting.
   I don't think I can say anything about this without sounding like a whiner.
  At least he's going on Jon Stewart again.
  Do you ever wonder if even Jon Stewart says to himself sometimes, "Geez. Does this guy ever work?"
