“A Phalanx of Lies” [Darleen Click]
Classic Mark Steyn CNN has been pondering what they call “a particularly tough few days at the White House.” “Four out of five Americans have little or no trust in their government to do anything right,” says chief political analyst Gloria Borger. “And now Obama probably feels the same way.” Our hearts go out to him, poor wee disillusioned thing.

Dissent in the Praetorian Guard: WaPo’s Glenn Kessler takes on Obama [Darleen Click]
Exposes Obama as the Big Liar that Lies Big for what he is. First, Obama’s mendacity: I sent them a jobs bill that would have put hundreds of thousands of construction workers back to work repairing our roads, our bridges, schools, transit systems, along with saving the jobs of cops and teachers and firefighters, creating a new tax cut for businesses. They said no. I went to the Speaker’s hometown,
