Has anyone noticed that Pres. Obama isn't telling the truth when it comes to the bills before him?

Okay, how many out there (not counting me) have seen through Pres. Obama's dishonest statements? For example, on Fox news (today, in truth, Feb. 6, 2009) they reported as "Fair and Balanced" Pres. Obama as saying that he wants the GOP to come to the table without the tired worn out rhetoric that got us into this economic problem to start with. WOW! Great blame shifting, sir....NOT. Well, so much for Fox being "Fair and Balanced" for had they been truly "Fair and Balanced" and "We Report; You Decide," then they should have reported someone (anyone) stating the truth on this matter. The reason why we are in this problem isn't because of the GOPs ideas at the table. So much for getting along and bipartisanship. Instead, it is government fraud, over government spending (which the new bill adds unto), no accountability for funding to those "Bail Outs," etc. Then, on another erroneous statement, Pres. Obama remarked that the GOP had to stop talking about cutting taxes and cutting spending as these are failed politices. Uhhhh, again, this is not honest (neither the President nor Fox News being "Fair and Balanced," much less honest). Tax cuts DID help the economy during Pres. Kennedy's term (a Democrat, by the way), during Pres. Reagan, during the Second Bush's term (only the first tax cuts as the others were not tax cuts, added to the National debt, and were approved by both parties), and even foreign nations (France, for example, tried this years ago and it worked). Cutting wasteful spending is only logical and reasonable as a measure to help any economy (be that economy at the state, local, federal, or even household levels). So, how many have the savvy to see through the President's rhetoric? And, please, don't respond with my being a racists. Cut out such nonsense. It is odd how Ms. Palin would have made history (first woman VP)....but there wasn't much (very little) mention of it. Ms. Rice is historical in her post...but, again, no honourable mention (just insults as occurred to Ms. Palin). Too, Judge Thomas met the same insults (yet, his position was historical...but that's ignored in the main). So, please, refrain from false charges of sexism or racism. So, again, how many REALLY LISTENTED to what Pres. Obama said? Just curious. I know a number will not get it or even be angered by my question. Still, how many TRULY see through President Obama's misstatements (statements meant to insult and to cow down the opposition to truth).

Update:

As far as FOX, I'm sorry to report that they aren't much better than the others...some, but not much. Mainly liberals report on FOX, too. Nevertheless, I reference FOX (to address the concern of one responder) because that is where I heard the quote. Regardless, now, I'm not a professional debater; however, I'm certain there is a proper term for the technique Pres. Obama used here. He spoke of the GOP wanting tax cuts as some cure all. Now, such is wrong & extreme. I'm not taking up for the GOP, mind you. I'm conservative, and am convinced the GOP has betrayed us. Still, one must be fair here. They don't putforth tax cuts as a cure all. Again, so much for FOX "Fair & Balanced." But, GOP doesn't use tax cuts alone (cutting spending, removing fraud from all parties, & many more are given solutions...but FOX left GOP as giving a panacea). Tax cuts don't always fix job losses, energy dependence, etc (nope on world hunger). Obama exaggerages here. His debate technique is extreme.

    He has yet to post a bill to the general public for review before signing it. Which he had promised. And you are correct in the eyes of the democrats, no matter how high or honorable a position, it means nothing unless the individual is a democrat. This is why I have stated and will continue to state, His making president is nothing more than electing a puppet into office to pass all the pork they can in the least amount of time. His approval rate is dropping and will continue to do so if he does not stop and actually read what he signs without just following orders.
