Bob Woodward: Obama and Lew lied about sequester



I know, I know; this is like saying that the sun rises in the East.  But what is different about it is that one of the big guns in the MSM is saying it.  The same MSM that has been lying for Obama, covering for Obama, licking Obama's boots, performing a sexual act on him.  This is the media that gets a thrill up its leg when he speaks. 

Why is this happening?

Well, boys and girls, it's not because they have turned honest.  They are Democrat partisans with by-lines and that is what they will be till death do them part. 

This is a unique case.

Bob Woodward is trying to protect his reputation.  He made certain statements in a book he wrote
“The Price of Politics.” He's standing by his story that the sequester was:
... initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
We have Woodward and the White House giving diametrically opposed stories about how the sequester came about. Woodward says that Obama lied about it in the debates with Romney and the Jack Lew lied about it in his confirmation testimony before congress.   Which raises a minor point: did Jack Lew perjure himself? 

Getting the truth out for reasons of selling a book may not be purely altruistic, but it's progress.
