In reply to the discussion: Ted Cruz: ‘Why is President Obama threatening to shut down the federal government?’ [View all]JohnnyRingo
(20,927 posts)9. While the other side of his mouth is saying...
"Obama is an out of control big government liberal".
This is the first shot in the GOP war on the truth about the looming govt shutdown. They in the past have blamed Obama for causing racial division by getting elected, for causing the country's downgraded credit rating, and they blamed him on Fox News for the 2008 TARP bailout of the banks.
Half the people in the country will buy this because of the huge megaphone at Rupert Murdoch's network. People only hear what they want to believe.
