President swaps his precise instrument for a blunt tool.
Alito’s right: What Obama said is ‘not true’

Public disclosure doesn’t count as “excluding” lobbyists.
Administration protects civil rights … from time to time
Why praise the division in the State of the Union when it clearly dropped the ball on prosecuting civil rights violations?
Constitution, Declaration of Independence … what’s the difference?

Still lying: You can keep your doctor
The president’s approach would not, and will not, allow Americans to keep their current coverage.

The president’s executive order (like the one to close Gitmo within a year) will have not teeth.
More fuzzy math on jobs numbers
Still fudging the stimulus stats.
Emanuel sorry for using the dreaded ‘R’ word
Following the leader.
