"Lying is not fatal to a political career, but for the public to come to realize that you are systematically lying to them about something they care about– that is deadly."
Lying is why I refused to vote - twice - to elect Barack Obama to the presidency. I was outraged when he promised to filibuster the FISA bill only to vote for passage without comment or protest. It continued post-election, with his lame excuses about how the Republicans wouldn't let him do anything while showing spine only when he felt it necessary to kick those who supported him to the curb before returning to servicing Republican goals. It continues with the recent news that the House has Obama as an ally in pushing TPP through a vote.
One can only lie so much before truth catches up. That day is very close at hand.
