This is more critical of the president than is usually seen on MSN.

Gist of it is that the president didn't lie exactly, he just chose his facts to be self serving.

Well of course , they all do that.

What I get is that there is a good trend in a lot of these economic and environmental figures right now, the president can be excused for putting a little polish on it.

What I would complain about is that the president actually thinks he stopped the war in Afghanistan and Iraq , he didn't do that , that choice was not on the table for him. If the Americans there being shot at right now are not at war, then the definition of war is just too nuanced.
