Here’s another paragraph from the White House statement last night on Obama’s huge victory: 

“In 2011, the President cut spending.”

Can you believe that?  The White House is actually claiming that in 2011 Obama cut spending.  This, my friends, is a lie.  An intentional and provable lie.  Yet Obama get’s away with it … he gets away with it because a compliant and obedient ObamaMedia lets him get away with it.

Obama was on “Meet the Press” Sunday.  On that show he said to David Gregory:  “Well, I have to tell you, David, if you look at my track record over the last two years, I cut spending by over a trillion dollars in 2011.”

Now if David Gregory was not such an obsequious Obama ass-licker he might have come back with this:

“But wait, Mr. President.  Your own White House Office of Management and Budget reports that in fiscal year 2010 our federal government spent $3.46 trillion.  Yet in 2011 we spent $3.6 trillion.  How can you claim that you cut spending by a trillion dollars in 2011 when, in fact, your own White House reports that spending increased by $147 billion?  What’s more, our deficit increased by more than a trillion dollars from 2010 to 2011.  How does that happen if you cut spending by over a trillion dollars?”

Were these figures not available to David Gregory?  Did NBC not have the same access to information that a lowly back-bench talk show host has? 

Of course this information is available to Gregory and NBC news .. but it doesn’t fit their agenda; and their agenda is undying support for Barack Obama and anything he says or tries to do in Washington.  Besides … if Gregory had asked that question of Obama it would have been the last time Obama granted him an interview.  Access is more important than accuracy.
