Mr. Mendacity, Cont'd.

Steve Benen at the Maddowblog continues his public service of documenting the falsehoods and misleading statements made each week by Willard "Mendacious Mittens" Romney in his quest to purchase the Presidency. You'll see little if any of this in our broken mainstream media, which prefers to play scorekeeper rather than actually practice journalism.

Among our favorite whoppers: 1) that President Obama doubled the budget deficit, when it's been reduced from $1.3 trillion when he took office to $1.1 trillion, and 2) that the President didn't put crippling sanctions in place against Iran, when in fact he did and Iran is being hammered by them.
