In the private sector, people go to prison for a long time for "cooking the books". Please inform me how this is different.

If there is not any punishment for this, then why should we ever think the practice would not continue?

A lie is a lie.

The Law Of Effect shows that you will get more of the behavior that is rewarded and less of the behavior that is punished.

Obama has not been punished for his lying, so I expect that he will continue to lie.
