Even the fine scrutiny of Obama's language threads back to the last five years of policy by deliberate lying, which McCain is now carrying on.
But it's important to remember that the "scrutiny" has come from those nonpartisan truthtellers, TEH AWSUM JOURNAMALISTS. Politicians lie and journalists supposedly don't. But, of course, they do. And they enable politicians - McCain now, Bush in 2000, Bush 2001-2008 - to lie.
McCain's joke budget is horseshit, but as we know Republicans cut taxes and cut spending and balance the budget, just like the most popular preznit EVAH Ronald Reagan did, even when they, you know, don't, and so their budgets don't actually have to make sense. Tax cuts are free and wars are free. Only Democrats need to "pay for" any of their proposals, it's just understood that Republicans are "fiscal conservatives."
