Lying in the Age of Obama -- Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson, or VDH, has been one of my favorite thinkers and writers for a number of years.  It's also very cool that he is a 5th or 6th generation California farmer who still actually owns and works his family farm.  His insight on politics and history from a Californian perspective is refreshing, since most pundits are based on the East Coast, mostly in NYC or DC.

His newest article on how callously and consequence free our current crop of national leaders (i.e. Dims) is such an anomaly that unfortunately is becoming the norm.  I blame the "Pro-Obama/democratic are good" Drive-By media.

Is There Anyone Left Who Doesn’t Lie?

Read the whole article, it's enlightening.
