Liar , Liar!



 Trying to figure out what i was going to write about I saw this article

http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/01/ordinary-lies-damn-lies-and-the-debates/?ref=presidentialdebates

Title: Ordinary lies, Damn lies and Debates.

Author: Adam Clymer.
While reading this article it really made me actually laugh because of everything it said! But then again it made me wonder... Are these people who this country is counting on lying to us??? Would they really lie just to get votes???

   I read on and saw all of the things they could use against each other to make the other person look bad! it really made me want to go back and check the records and all of the interviews of both candidates and what they were doing!


This connected to class because i was remembering the BOUNCE  that was given to Mr.Obama. and while looking and really getting into the article i saw how these people can use anything just to get a higher chance of winning! Even if they're lies. I thought that was so uncool , just plain unfair to the people because we are the ones voting if we are misinformed we can be making a big mistake!

I really didn't understand only one word and that word was CIRCUMSPECT.  It means - Heedful of circumstances and potential consequences. These two candidates are definitely circumspect s because they look out for their own step, they don't want to make any mistake or have something that the other candidate can shove in his/her face. They take precaution.

Deeper Questions:

#1: Will President Obama really lie to us his fellow American citizens?

#2: Is that even allowed? Can a candidate for anything be able to lie to the audience?
