It's "Happy Trees" and "Fluffy White Clouds" and yes he is still on. Love that show because it puts my brain to sleep faster than a bottle of Nyquil.

Romney lied:

When he claimed that “pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan.” They’re not.

When he said that President Obama had “cut Medicare by $716 billion to pay for Obamacare.” Obama didn’t.

When he denied proposing a $5 trillion tax cut. He did.

When he said President Obama had “added almost as much to the federal debt as all the prior presidents combined.” Not even close.

When he resurrected “death panels.” That was called “one of the biggest whoppers of the night.”

When he stated that half the green energy companies given stimulus funds had failed. Only if three out of nearly three dozen is half.

They used to have Bob Ross painting classes throughout the country and they would hire people who looked like him. And lets put a happy little tree here.
My artist friend tried to paint with a knife like Bob and couldn't stop himself from stabbing the happy little trees by accident.

CNN's John Berman reached a similar conclusion last night.

"Romney said he would offset that by closing loopholes and reducing reductions," he said. "So if you take him at his word, our verdict [on Obama's claim] that Mitt Romney would cut taxes on the wealthy by $5 trillion, the verdict is false." [/size]

What is it about "progressives" that they are utterly incapable of distinguishing between the federal debt and federal debt held by the public. And given that they continue to demonstrate an inability to understand that simple distinction, what does that say about their ability to comprehend complex concepts involving the economy of our Union?

Some are overcome by fear and loathing of anything r. We do not have to look far to see examples of that.

This is what happens's to a sitting president when all his attention is on hard-hitting political news outlets like, er … Entertainment Tonight, People, The View and Glamour.

oblama lied about;
■ Obama accused Romney of proposing a $5 trillion tax cut. Not true. Romney proposes to offset his rate cuts and promises he won’t add to the deficit.
■Obama oversold his health care law, claiming that health care premiums have “gone up slower than any time in the last 50 years.” That’s true of health care spending, but not premiums. And the health care law had little to do with the slowdown in overall spending.
■Obama said 5 million private-sector jobs had been created in the past 30 months. Perhaps so, but that counts jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics won’t add to the official monthly tallies until next year. For now, the official tally is a bit over 4.6 million.
■Obama again said he’d raise taxes on upper-income persons only to the “rates that we had when Bill Clinton was president.” Actually, many high-income persons would pay more than they did then, because of new taxes in Obama’s health care law.
■Obama again touted his “$4 trillion” deficit reduction plan, which includes $1 trillion from winding down wars that are coming to an end in any event.

Don't even need a 1,000 words.

The entire campaign is based on lies and manipulations of the truth.
The problem Wednesday night.....those were exposed.
