    Who's Lying Here? Balloon Dad and Previous Whitehouse Reports

     

    Musician Has Opinion

    http://www.isound.com/taistix Who's Lying here? Balloon Dad and Previous Whitehouse Reports   In the summer and fall of 2008 The Whitehouse released the state of the economy report for the past half year and predictions for the immediate and near future. I recommend you dig it up yourself to see what it says. It's no secret the report was not only wrong but very misleading. Who's to blame for the misleading and/or blatantly false reports? Let's not go there. The fact is it seems very un-likely they didn't know what was going on and what was about to happen. The media and all of us believed them. I won't go into all the historical accounts of warnings that they ignored involving the possibility of an oncoming financial crisis. My case here is that it is quite possible that they knowingly mislead the public and the media. Now, my correlation to the recent farce in the media and probability of Balloon Dad and family being charged for misleading us all is something we should be thinking about. Which is more important we might ask ourselves as the days go on and who (balloon dad or government representatives) should be charged for knowingly making false statements and to what extent.  just a thought ;)  http://www.boulderdish.blogspot.com
