Obama Repeats Lie: "I Inherited $1.3 Trillion Deficit"

Obama and his audacity with the facts. I just heard a radio clip where Obama claims he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit. Perhaps Obama needs to be reminded that it was he, not his predecessor, who passed that colossal $800 billion pile of waste.

*Update*
People are finally starting to notice that Obama is not the hope he thinks: Dan Riehl:

It's impossible to watch Obama maneuver since taking the WH without characterizing his behavior as divisive and dishonest. Unfortunately, taking it all in, it's clear that one of two things must be true. The Obama administration along with key Democrat players in Congress are either incompetent, or willing to risk a genuine Depression for political gain.

Even Chris Matthews of "leg tingle" fame and Howard Fineman, key cheerleader at Newsweek are starting to be critical.
