Fox News Understands Liars Lie Better When Lying

As Gatekeepers of the Republican Fantasy World, Fox News has to keep telling its viewers that the current economic mess we are in is a direct result of Barack Obama.  It's their job.

Joe Walsh via Fox News:

“The President is like a teenage boy who had a big party and trashed his parents’ house while his parents were gone,” Walsh said. “Then he gets really upset when his parents come back home and make him clean up the mess. These troublesome House Republicans were sent to Washington to help the President clean up this mess.”

This line of political attack and revisionist history ignores the very simple fact that the "house" was already trashed when Obama got the keys in 2009. Obama inherited a $1.3 trillion budget deficit.  He inherited a federal debt over $11 trillion along with two ongoing endless wars costing us hundreds of billions every year without a single penny to pay for either, tripled with an economy losing millions of jobs and a Dow at 7,000 when he took office.

A tall task it would be to get people to forget that it was actually George Bush and the Republican Party that created this mess leaving it all for Obama to fix.  I'm not even sure how to even begin to go about such a task really.  But for Republicans it's second nature.  So how do you get people to forget all about Bush's 8 years and get people to believe the economic mess is all Obama's.  Well, you do what Fox News does and you bring on someone who has absolutely no credibility on fiscal matters like Rep. Joe Walsh who owes over $100,000 in back child support; who so mismanaged his own personal finances that as recent as 2009 had his home foreclosed yet was still able to personally loan his political campaign $35,000 cash just so he could go on Fox News and be labeled a fiscal conservative and convince people Democrats are to blame.

In other words, you get someone who is nothing but a professional liar and a personal fraud to do all the convincing.  If I'm going to rob a bank, I'm going to get bank robber to help me.  Same for Republicans and their Fantasy World reality reinvention program.  If you're going to convince millions of people of complete lies get a liar to do it.
