What's 49 billion?

What's 49 billion dollars a year over 10 years when it comes to cuts in the military budget? Virtually nothing. What's the meaning of "surgical not just weapons and manpower," words from our President about the reduction in military spending? Gobbledygook. What's 8% unemployment? In reality 10%. What's the use of knowing the terms: racism, national debt, recess appointments, Friday afternoon news, dumping, signing statements, revolving doors, lobbyists, earmarks, renditions, Guantanamo, tribunals, predator drones and the Patriot Act? Each fact decried by candidate Obama but embraced by President Obama even embraced and extended. Truly the two-faced polititian!

So what's the good of pursuing truth - political or moral - when the big 'O' in the White House rejects or abuses it? You tell me and my friendly conservative voices crying in the wilderness.
