>>>>It’s not that Obama was lying when he said all that stuff. It’s just that he didn’t know what he was talking about.

>>Just what Reagan said -- liberals don't lie. They just know so much that isn't so.

This is generally the theme of Thomas Sowell's book, The Vision of the Anointed. Published in 1996, it really points up how impervious the Liberal mind is to rational thought and learning via empirical results. I've just started it and the clarity of insight is astounding.

Read "Patterns of Failure" here and see if you don't see this Stimulus episode as yet another case of the general schema that Sowell has laid out.

Wow...thanks for the link. I am really enjoying reading the excerpt and I am a Sowell fan anyway. It is dead on accurate.
