Her talking point graphic showed a declining economic indicator since the Obama administration began; but her fatal error of omission was in her deliberate distortion of the relationship between cause and effect.<br /><br />In fact, the most severe recession since the Great Depression started in 2007 … in the Bush administration. The warning of impending disaster was first sounded by then Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson … of the Bush administration. The TARP bill was hurried through Congress and signed into law … in the Bush administration.<br /><br />When a speeding car runs out of gas in one administration and coasts to a dead stop in the next administration, where does the fault lie? The fault lies with the administration that forgot through lack of oversight to put gas in the car; not the one that got stuck with towing the car to a gas station. <br /><br />Mainstream media lets all lies go unchallenged … and far too many bloggers do the same. It only takes a minute to go the extra mile and point out these cheap political tactics. <br /><br />Errors of omission followed by errors in critical analysis, no wonder why the American public is dumbed down while demagogues and hacks get away with factual murder.(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.com
