Why isn't Obama calling Romney a liar?
From an editorial in today's NYT, Romney Versus the Automakers:
"Mr. Romney apparently plans to end his race as he began it: playing lowest-common-denominator politics, saying anything necessary to achieve power and blithely deceiving voters desperate for clarity and truth."
I just do not understand why the lying isn't abundantly obvious to everyone.
I have watched no political ads, I have seen no speeches on the news, and I didn't watch the debates, but I have been following the written press coverage closely, and I haven't yet heard that Obama has said anything like what I think he should say, for example: "I'm not going to lie to you to win an election. Digging out from under the worst financial collapse since the Depression has been difficult to everyone personally and to us collectively as a nation, and I wouldn't be doing my job as president to deny this reality. But to deny how far we've come in the past four years whose challenges have forged our dedication and strength would also be a lie. If reelected as president I will continue the policies that have already brought us so far and that will carry us forward to a brighter future that is our destiny."
