Barack Obama - and the media
I couldn't agree more.
The American media just won't hold Mr. Obama accountable.
He is a "say anything" president, largely because the media allows it.
It's been that way since he announced his candidacy...

Hugh Hewitt writes about the same at WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Far more remarkable than the president's brazenness with the truth, which has become a routine feature of Obama's 'preside-but-don't-lead' tenure in the Oval Office, is the liberal mainstream media's willingness to indulge it.
The president preaches fiscal restraint but advanced a reckless budget and refuses to suggest any entitlement reform. The MSM is silent.
The president imposed Obamacare on an unwilling country and then issues more than a thousand waivers to the friends of Obama and the politically connected. The MSM is silent.
And now with gas prices soaring and an angry population turning their political fury on the president, he runs from the responsibility which is surely his and claims childlike wonder at the idea that his no-growth/no-oil policies are to blame. And the MSM is silent.
A craven MSM continues to abet the president's enormous incompetence in all aspects of his job. The credibility gap that has grown and grown around the president since January 2009 has now reached the point where Obama no longer cares to pretend to the truth and the press no longer cares to report that fact."
