I would suggest that if president Obama wishes to curtail the outbreak of lying he should begin by telling the truth and having his office tell the truth.

I will not be intimidated by lies, nor will I be put off by lying scoundrels. So if you say you are going to post a bill so everyone can read it, post the bill. If you promise you will actually read the bill, read the bill. I am not certain who the “guest” was, but I wonder why he thinks the only reason for the display of distrust is hate?
