Obama and his administration setting new benchmarks for spending AND lying

I hate to be negative, but today's PajamasMedia article Where Are the Cries of ‘Obama Lied, Jobs Died’? made me realize how much leftist spin there is in the media, and how little they hold him accountable. Here's some goodness from the article:

Lies told about the Bush Admin

• Bush was right about WMD's in Iraq: "But the truth is that there were WMDs in Iraq … (This brief pause has
  been provided so lefties can pick their brainwashed jaws off the
  floor.) … Heck, I knew that in 2005. Later evidence proved that WMDs were really, officially there. What’s more, in November 2006, a New York Times article acknowledged the existence
  of a report showing that “[Saddam] Hussein’s scientists were on the
  verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.” As Ed Morrissey described it
  at the time, “Saddam [was] far ahead of Iran in the nuclear pursuit, …
  [making] it much more urgent to take some definitive action against
  Saddam before he could build and deploy it.” Oh, and I almost forgot
  about the 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium
  found in Iraq after Saddam was overthrown, specifically “the stuff that
  can be refined into nuclear weapons or nuclear fuel.” History will have
  to tell us why the hapless Bush crew didn’t defend itself against the
  Left’s long-since-refuted lie."
• Saddam DID try to purchase nuclear material from Africa: As recorded in Butler Report

Lies told by the Obama Admin

• In February, Obama, in a Peoria, Illinois, visit, said in a speech that
  Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens had told him the previous day that “if
  Congress passes our [stimulus] plan, this company will be able to
  rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.” The truth is
  that Owens “told Obama he could rehire people if a ‘responsible
  stimulus bill is passed and the economy gets going again.’” Who do you
  believe, Barack Obama or a CEO and the congressman who later spoke with
  Mr. Owens?
• On May 11, Obama and the administration claimed
  that executives and representatives of major health care providers
  agreed that they could wring major cost savings out of the medical
  system in the next 10 years on the road to a supposedly affordable
  government-run system that would save the government up to $2 trillion.
  Within days,
  health care officials denied there were any detailed promises, saying
  that “they agreed to slow health spending in a more gradual way and did
  not pledge specific year-by-year cuts.” Who do you believe, Obama or
  the others at the conference?
• On the day of government-run Chrysler’s bankruptcy filing, Obama and his car guys
  told a bipartisan group of political leaders that the bankruptcy “will
  not disrupt the lives of the people who work at Chrysler or the
  communities that depend on it.” Those who heard it reasonably took that
  statement to mean that no plants would permanently close. At least two
  congresspersons issued press releases to that effect. On May 1,
  government-run Chrysler announced that it would close plants in
  Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Obama lied; jobs died. Who do
  you believe, Team Obama or a bipartisan group of politicians?

Admittedly, the Obama Admin is trying hard.  But they are not saints, and they ARE pushing a liberal social agenda in addition to their unwise socialist-lite economics. 

Conclusion:  Bush was not as bad as the media said he was.  Obama is surely not as good.
