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
