Our government is fundamentally flawed. You can't become president of the United States of America unless you tell the people what they want to hear. If you tell them the truth, they won't vote you into office. 1+1=2. You basically have to lie your way through the ranks. Clinton did it, Bush did it, and Obama has done it as well. Now it's my personal opinion that Obama has done it on a much greater degree than Clinton or Bush, but almost every president the past 30 years has lied at some point.
