Obama Watershed Scandals - Deceptions & Lies

The Master & The Apprentice - Bold Face Liars!

OH What a Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practice to Deceive!

Deception is false reality that's imposed on a true reality. As both a fragile and complex interweaving of either truths, half-truths, lies, and lies of omission, one must be skilled in the fine art of deception to successfully deceive.

Many politicians have worked hard to reach this pinnacle, that zenith, to fall far during their storied careers - Presidents Nixon, Clinton, now Obama has joined that elusive "Presidential Liars Club". What a tribute into perpetuity to "Chicago-Style Politics" from Illinois right into the White House itself! - More Watergate Watershed Scandals?

Chicago was given the unfortunate title of "most corrupt" city in America in 2012 by a study of the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Illinois' Institute of Government and Public Affairs. University of Illinois at Chicago professor Dick Simpson, who worked on the study, told CBS Chicago that corruption among public officials has cost the city $500 million. The report cites federal data showing that, between 1976 and 2010, there were 1,531 convictions for public corruption in "the federal district dominated by Chicago," according to the Associated Press.

This becomes the tangled web we weave, especially when first we practice to deceive in "Illinois Politics - a long held tradition for generations".
