Presidential Lies and Deceptions

When spin crosses the line, the credibility gap is hard to repair

Education in America

Tom Tom Tom...Improving education in America is obviously something very dear to your heart (vocation probably). However, large amounts of money are not needed. Both-parent-families and ALL the values that go with that would go a long way to help with the educational system. The entire subject is definitely not a single dimensional issue concerning how to improve the education of our citizens. When teachers are left to teach using the materials already available, and not left to engage in security issues and such because the moral values are NOT being instilled at home by both a mother and a father...education could improve itself back to the standards that were routinely achieved in the past. But, this is OFF SUBJECT.

The fact is that this original article was right on concerning why there is a built in lack of trust to whomever is the next President. Add that to the instances where Obama, Clinton and Republicans were already caught mis-stating or lying and it's even worse.

Education in America

Although the above comment is probably a put-on, unless written by a recent immigrant, it has relevance to the article about our Presidential disaster.

No educated people would have elected, or almost elected, a George W. Bush.

His reaching the White House (by hook or crook) should be more than a warning --

it should be the alarm bell. Our next disastrous choice may not be as ineffective as

George W. Bush -- he may be a real dictator.

The only long-term solution is a drastically improved educational system in the USA,

on all levels. And the only way that will be done is with an outlay of huge amounts of

money -- but we already have that, except we are being robbed of it by a corrupt

system. That's why we need a thoroughly free and honest President.

LIES OF A PRESIDENT

BILL CLINTON LIED IN A MATTER OF PERSONAL NATURE AND HE WAS SOUGHT TO BE IMPEACHED. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED TO THE WORLD DUE TO THIS LIE BUT MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER MONEY WAS SPENT IN 'UNEARTHING' THE TRUTH.

BUSH IS SEEN TO BE A HABITUAL LIAR. HE WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE 9-11 TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE USA. THE INVESTIGATION WAS ALLOTTED VERY LITTLE MONEY. SUBSEQUENTLY, HE ALONG WITH BLAIR PLANNED SERIES OF LIES SO AS TO ATTACK IRAQ BY COOKING UP FALSE INTELLIGENCE REPORTS. LIES OF BUSH LED TO DEATHS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS AND ARABS.

ANY ACTION ?

Isn't it funny that you take Scott's side and offer not a shred of evidence to back it up rather than the say so of a disgruntled former press secretary? Why don't you get off your duff and check out the facts rather than print your biased views? In my estimation you do more disservice to this country than Scott McClellan does.
