The Best Liar Wins

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will break a campaign pledge against congressional earmarks and sign a budget bill laden with millions in lawmakers' pet projects, administration officials said."

He wasn't going to use Washington insiders. Time for change. Yes we can.

Yes, we can do the same old thing.

Meanwhile, they've given AIG, the original party guys who went out and celebrated after their first bailout, another $30 billion of our dollars.

Have a nice day.

Sorry, it's not that I want to post depressing news, it's just that there's so much of it.

Do you lie to your boss regularly? Do you tell him/her that you're going to do one thing and then do the exact opposite? Probably not. And you probably didn't lie to get the job in the first place. That must be the secret: lie to get a job and then you can lie the entire time that you have it. I'm new to this lying business, but I catch on quick.

You have to jump into the pile of manuer before you are able to begin to shovel it out...

I'm not making excuses, although I admit, I do want to believe. I think we need to have something to believe in... However, we must not sit blindly and believe.

Something needed to be passed to stop the decline. The urgency needed to get this to pass might allow me to be able to forgive some of it. Pushing the pork into the package was inexcusable and THAT is something that needs to change in Washington.

Now let's be fair orbs. We will not get a chance to see how good of a liar McCain is because he is not president, so please only call him the Winning Liar as we have no evidence he was the Best Liar.

You got it, hale. Btw, I wasn't ragging on Obama because he's Obama, but because he's just the newest incarnation of the "old boss," in my opinion. Almost all politicians lie superbly.

Ima gonna find funny, uplifting animal stories, I promise.
