Bob Woodward On White House Dissembling

The below article is by Bob Woodward.  You will remember that he was half of the investigative journalism team that brought down the Nixon White House.  Here he provides even handed insights into the Obama White House's dissembling about the origins and effects of sequestration.  His main point, seems to me, is that truth telling has been in short supply.  I would add that his observations are particularly relevant since there is evidence that White House lies in this specific case are not an anomaly but part of a pattern.  Then again, we all know such behavior is common within both political parties. The second link reinforces Woodward's point. The third link is just one more example of what we aready knew but it does affirm that political leaders in fact order their underlings to either lie to or mislead the public.  George Burns
