thinkprogress.org — Actually they denied being in a recession a bunch of times & everyone knows it. It always amazes me how the Republican party will blatantly lie to us over & over, expecting us to be complete morons. It really seems like habitual lying at this point. I mean really, what was the point of this lie?

The GOP operates on the cynical assumption that voters have no memory and are unable or unwilling to go check the facts, even as the Internet has made this very easy to do. And it must be admitted that this approach has had its successes. Even today shockingly large percentages of the American public believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and that the absence of WMD in Iraq is something we knew about only after the invasion. For a long time this revisionism was nearly 100% successful, and even today it works tolerably well.It looks certain that GWB will never be formally rebuked for creating the "unitary executive," with its dictatorial powers and its insistence on creating its own reality, past and present. And so that power is still on the table -- mighty, seductive and profoundly corrupting. Will Obama have the strength of character not to don that mantle, even when it could do him a lot of short-term good? Will the next president? And the one after that?
