圖圖要求以戰爭罪審判布什和布萊爾.時間: 2012-9-2
曾獲諾貝爾和平獎的南非圖圖大主教稱,英國前首相布萊爾和美國前總統布什應被以戰爭罪受到起訴。
英國廣播公司(BBC)說,圖圖在英國《觀察家報》發表文章稱,布萊爾和布什用謊言發動戰爭,侵略伊拉克,應受到海牙國際戰爭罪法庭的審判。

有抗議者說,布萊爾是在阿富汗和伊拉克這場毫無理由的戰爭的主要策劃者之一。

圖圖說,布萊爾和布什捏造伊拉克擁有大規模殺傷性武器的說法,並發動了伊拉克戰爭。他說,伊拉克戰爭對世界穩定的危害,超過了歷史上任何其他戰爭和衝突。

此前,南非圖圖大主教拒絕和布萊爾一起在約翰內斯堡舉行的領袖峰會露面,他說,布萊爾支持美國為首的侵略伊拉克“道德上,不可接受”。

雙重標準

布萊爾在約翰內斯堡說,對其決定派兵入侵伊拉克的指責,他回應說,當今世界,領導人在敘利亞和伊朗問題,面臨同樣的兩難處境。他說,西方仍然面臨是否干涉伊朗,是否允許伊朗取得核能力,是否應該干涉制止伊朗的問題。

“問題不在於薩達姆是好?還是壞?或者,多少伊拉克人被薩達姆屠殺?問題是:布什和布萊爾不應該讓自己墮落到和他一樣邪惡的水平。” — 圖圖大主教

圖圖說,2003年,以美國英國為首的,對伊拉克的侵略,導致了目前中東局勢惡化,敘利亞的內戰和伊朗,可能被​​拖入的中東沖突。

圖圖大主教說,“那時候的美國和英國領導人,編造藉口,就像惡霸一樣,製造分裂。他們把世界帶到了目前的惡劣處境,我們被迫面對敘利亞和伊朗,可能出現不妙的前景。”

“問題不在於薩達姆是好,還是壞,或者多少伊拉克人被薩達姆屠殺,問題是-布什和布萊爾不應該讓自己墮落到和他一樣邪惡的水平”,圖圖說,當然,衡​​量西方領導人,是另外一套標準。

他說,正因為這樣,在一個一致的世界,他們同非洲亞洲一些領導人犯下同樣罪行,應該都要在海牙,面對審判。

布萊爾辯解

布萊爾對於上述指責,他發出措辭強硬的辯護說,“重複舊的謊言,即,說我們在情報問題上撒謊(大規模殺傷性武器),是完全錯誤的,所有對證據獨立的分析,都能夠證明這點。”

此前,在約翰內斯堡領袖峰會會場外,許多抗議者要求逮捕布萊爾。抗議者高喊“布萊爾虛偽”,“布萊爾撒謊”和“國際罪行法庭對布萊爾網開一面”等口號。有抗議者說,布萊爾是在阿富汗和伊拉克這場毫無理由的戰爭的主要策劃者之一,戰爭導致數百萬人死亡。

有來自非洲的網友,在BBC網站發表評論說,他一直十分欽佩圖圖大主教的道德勇氣,但是,在南非礦工被殺引發危機的時候,他不應該為邪惡的薩達姆政權倒台,而表示惋惜。

另外,一位英國讀者評論說,他和所有誠實努力工作的英國納稅人一樣,都願意看到布什和布萊爾受到審判,但,很不幸,他們太有權勢,所以,不會受到戰爭罪行審判,受審的,都是失勢的人。

他說,薩達姆雖然邪惡,但,他們從來沒有對西方構成威脅,所以,對付薩達姆不是美國和英國該做的事情,那是聯合國該做的事情,而且,那時候,聯合國在作決定前,曾經試圖找到大規模殺傷性武器。

布什政府高官紛紛加入羅姆尼團隊 。時間: 2012-9-2
美國布什政府國務卿賴斯(Condoleezza Rice),上週,坦帕的共和黨全國大會上,她發表講話,引起人們長時間鼓掌歡呼,受到各家媒體讚揚。作為威信掃地的布什政府最高官員之一,這種情況,相當不錯。

美國前國務卿賴斯,8月29日在共和黨全國大會發表講話,代表布什政府時期高官重新得勢。

賴斯恢復名譽是布什政府恢復牌子的組成部分之一。 《華盛頓郵報》說,布什離開白宮不到四年,他的團隊成員,紛紛恢復高位,他們的聲譽,受到重新考慮,布什的名字,正在恢復舊的光芒。

今年6月,參加羅姆尼度假地籌款活動的小布什政府高官,包括卡爾·洛夫(Karl Rove)、前國土安全部長切托夫(Michael Chertoff)、前佛羅里達州長傑布·布什(Jeb Bush)、甚至還有老布什的官員、前國務卿貝克(James Baker III)。

最令人關注的就是,布什的外交政策決策者,如何在羅姆尼的外交政策中,發揮作用。布什政府駐聯合國大使波爾頓(John Bolton),是羅姆尼內幕人物之一。

布什時代的安全承包商黑水公司主管布萊克(Cofer Black),他是羅姆尼情報問題上的最高顧問,左右他在審訊恐怖嫌犯上的看法。美軍入侵伊拉克之後,擔任聯合臨時政府最高官員的森諾(Dan Senor)是副總統候選人萊恩的左右手。羅姆尼在訪問以色列期間,發表有爭議的講話–聲稱,以色列文化的內在優越性,是以色列比巴勒斯坦經濟上成功的原因之一–森諾也是那些講話的思想家之一。

《華盛頓郵報》說,不管有無國際支持,布什都要將自己的意志,強加於世界的政策,造成美國​​付出太多生命、資源和國際威望的代價,布什及其高官,因此,名譽掃地。現在,他們回來了,在羅姆尼的團隊安家。

從馬拉鬆成績,到全國大會,。 。 。 , 萊恩都說謊 。時間: 2012-9-2

美國,假如一名政治家說,自己不到3個小時,跑完馬拉松,而實際上,他是跑了四個小時,這是否重要?正常情況下,這沒有太大政治意義,但是,由於這個撒謊者是共和黨副總統候選人萊恩(Paul Ryan),就應當作出解釋。

其原因並不難找到:在他的全國講話中,萊恩同真實,有令人不安的距離。他在星期三,接受副總統提名的講話上,是美國近代政治歷史最不誠實的政治講話之一。這就是為何,萊恩為何不停說謊–從馬拉松所用時間,到重大政治問題
。 。 。的問題,相當重要。

《紐約每日新聞》再次回顧和分析萊恩的講話。星期三晚上,萊恩聲稱,總統奧巴馬的刺激措施,不僅是“聯邦政府最大的一次性開支”,它也是“充滿最壞的政治關係、公司福利、裙帶關係”。 “你們為這個國家工作的男男女女,都被擱在交易之外。”但是,沒有一個人可以相信,刺激措施是萊恩所說的政府胡作非為,他對刺激措施的說法是假的。刺激措施,創造了250萬就業,為95%的美國人減稅,它是高度透明的,基本上,沒有欺騙。
它更不是最大的一次性開支,那是二次世界大戰。

萊恩聲稱,奧巴馬的“第一個經濟事務命令”就是醫療改革。這顯然不是真的。奧巴馬上台幾個星期,就通過了刺激法案,而醫療改革法,是一年之後。
萊恩聲稱,奧巴馬醫改法是“要聯邦政府管理醫療”,又是一個謊言。醫改法將更多監管,帶入醫療市場,這是真的。但是,它沒有讓聯邦政府管理醫療,而真正是,聯邦政府管理的醫療部分,例如,聯邦醫療保險(Medicare )和醫療補助(Medicaid),正是萊恩聲稱,要保護和加強的項目。此外,萊恩聲稱,奧巴馬醫改法要為數百萬小企業加稅,這又是假的,因為,絕大多數情況下,奧巴馬要為小企業減稅。

在聯邦醫療保險商,萊恩聲稱,奧巴馬要削減7160億美元,他掩蓋瞭如下事實–那些節省下來的資金,大部分要回到那個項目。他無視另一事實:他支持同樣程度的削減,儘管他要省下的資金,主要是用於為富人減稅。萊恩聲稱,這些削減,意味著對我們父母或祖父母的義務,受到犧牲。這又不是真的。事實上,醫療保險開支的節省,是要維持該項目,至少延長8年,不受破產威脅。

在國家債務問題上,萊恩聲稱,總統奧巴馬本人的決定,導致新債務增加5萬億美元。當然,如果人們相信,歷史是從奧巴馬宣誓就職之日開始的,那就可以說,是真的。事實上,過去三年半來的絕大多數債務增加,都是因為前總統布什立法通過的政策,比如,布什的減稅、伊拉克和阿富汗戰爭,這些,都得到了萊恩的支持。債務是在奧巴馬任上增加的,但,這不等於這是奧巴馬的決策結果。

萊恩聲稱,奧巴馬創立兩黨債務委員會。他們提出緊急報告。他對他們表示感謝,然後,什麼都不做。這種說法,更是幾個層次的謊言。首先,那個委員會,從來沒有提出過緊急報告,也沒有向奧巴馬提出過任何建議–因為,那個委員會的報告,遭到萊恩在內的成員拒絕。專家指出,萊恩上週講話中的“他們”,本來,包括萊恩本人,他卻對此,隻字不提。

萊恩所說的奧巴馬什麼都不做,也是謊言:奧巴馬在2011年秋天,向國會送上長期減債計劃,要在今後10年,減少赤字4萬億美元。雖然,人們可以說,那個計劃不好,或不認真,但,說奧巴馬什麼都不做,卻不符合現實。

當然,萊恩講話中,不准確的說法,就更多。比如,萊恩聲稱,奧巴馬應當對通用汽車關閉在威斯康辛的工廠負責,而那些關閉,早在奧巴馬上台之前,就開始了。

Figure demanding a war crimes trial of Bush and Blair Time: 2012-9-2
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former U.S. President George W. Bush should be subject to prosecution for war crimes.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said Tutu published an article in the UK Observer newspaper, Blair and Bush lies to launch a war of aggression against Iraq, should be tried by the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague.

Some protesters said that Blair is the one in Afghanistan and Iraq, this is no reason for war planners.

Tutu said that Blair and Bush fabricated the claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, and the launch of the Iraq war. He said the Iraq war endanger the stability of the world, more than any other in the history of war and conflict.

Previously, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa refused to appearances with Blair Leadership Summit held in Johannesburg, he said, Blair’s support for the US-led aggression against Iraq “morally unacceptable”.

Double standard

Blair said in Johannesburg, and its decision to send troops to invade Iraq was accused of, he responded that, in today’s world, the leaders of Syria and Iran, is facing the same dilemma. He said that the West still faced with whether or not to interfere in Iran, and whether to allow Iran to obtain nuclear capability, should not interfere to stop Iran’s problem.

“The problem is not that Saddam was good? Or bad? Alternatively, the number of Iraqis by Saddam massacred? Question is: Bush and Blair should not let themselves fallen into evil and his level.” — Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Tutu said that, in 2003, headed by the United States, the United Kingdom, the invasion of Iraq, leading to the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East, civil war in Syria and Iran, may be dragged into the conflict in the Middle East.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu said the time the leaders of the United States and the United Kingdom, made up an excuse, like bullies, manufacturing division. They brought the world to the current bad situation, we are forced to confront Syria and Iran, may appear bad prospects. ”

“The problem is not that Saddam is good or bad, or how many Iraqis by Saddam massacre, the question is – Bush and Blair should not have to stoop to the level of evil and his” Tutu said, of course, the measure of the West leaders, is another set of standards.

He said, precisely because of this, in a consistent world, with some leaders in Africa, Asia committed the same crimes, should to be in The Hague to face trial.

Blair excuse

Blair, for the accused, he issued a strongly worded defense said, “repeats the old lie, namely, that intelligence issues lie (WMD), is completely wrong, all evidence independent analysis, are able to prove this point. ”

Previously, in Johannesburg Leadership Summit will be off-site, many of the protesters demanded the arrest of Tony Blair. The protesters chanted “Blair hypocrisy,” Blair lied “and” international criminal tribunals Blair spared “and other slogans. Some protesters said Blair is one of the planners in Afghanistan and Iraq, this war for no reason, the war led to millions of deaths.

Friends from Africa, said in a comment on the BBC website, he has been greatly admire the moral courage of the Archbishop Desmond Tutu, South African miners killed crisis he should not be the evil regime of Saddam downfall, and said sorry.

In addition, a British readers commented that he and all honest and hard-working British taxpayers are willing to see Bush and Blair be tried, but, unfortunately, they are too powerful, so will not be a war crimes trial for trial, are losing ground.

He said Saddam was evil, but they never West pose a threat, so to deal with Saddam Hussein is not the United States and the United Kingdom do things, and that is the right thing for the United Nations, and, at that time, the United Nations in making before the decision, and have tried to find the weapons of mass destruction.

The Bush administration senior officials have 加入罗姆尼 the team. Time: 2012-9-2
The Bush administration Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (Condoleezza Rice), last week, the Tampa Republican National Convention, she delivered a speech, causing people to applaud for a long time by various media praised. As a discredited one of the highest officials of the Bush administration, this situation is quite good.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, at the Republican National Convention August 29 speech on behalf of the period senior officials of the Bush administration to re-get the upper hand.

Rice restore the reputation of being one of the Bush administration to restore part of the brand. The Washington Post, Bush left the White House less than four years, the members of his team have to restore high, their reputation, subject to re-consider the name of Bush, is restoring the old light.

In June of this year, George W. Bush, a senior government official to participate in fund-raising activities of the Romney vacation, including Carl Love (Karl Rove), former Homeland Security Secretary Qietuo Fu (Michael Chertoff), former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (Jeb Bush), and even the officials of the elder Bush, former Secretary of State James Baker (James Baker III).

Most concern is that Bush’s foreign policy decision-makers, how Romney’s foreign policy, to play a role. Bush administration UN Ambassador Bolton (John Bolton), one of Romney Insider characters.

Director of the Bush era security contractor Blackwater Black (Cofer Black), Romney top adviser on intelligence issues around his views on the interrogation of terrorist suspects. After the U.S. invasion of Iraq, as the highest officials of the joint interim government Sennuo (Dan Senor) Ryan’s right-hand man of the vice presidential candidate. Romney published a controversial speech during a visit to Israel – claimed the inherent superiority of the Israeli culture, the reasons for the success of the Palestinian economy on Israel than one – Sennuo also those thinkers speech.

The Washington Post said, with or without international support, Bush must be their own will, imposed on the policies of the world, causing the United States to pay the cost of too many lives, resources and international prestige, Bush and his senior officials, therefore, discredited . Now, they come back home in the Romney team.

From the marathon to the National Assembly. . . Ryan are lying. Time: 2012-9-2

The United States, if a politician says, less than three hours, finishing a marathon, in fact, he is to run for four hours, whether this is important? Under normal circumstances, this little political significance, However, this liar is the Republican vice presidential candidate Ryan (Paul Ryan), should give an explanation.

The reason is not hard to find: In his address to the nation, with the real Ryan disturbing distance. On Wednesday, he accepted the vice presidential nomination speech, most dishonest political speech in recent political history. This is why, Ryan why stop lying – from the marathon, to the major political issues
. . . Problems, is very important.

The New York Daily News’ review and analysis of Ryan’s speech again. Wednesday night, Ryan claimed that President Obama’s stimulus measures, not only is the federal government’s largest one-time expenses, it is also full of the worst political relations, corporate welfare, nepotism. “You work for this country, men and women are put outside in the transaction.” However, no one can believe the stimulus is Ryan said the government abuses, he is false to say that the stimulus measures. Stimulus created 2.5 million jobs, cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans, it is highly transparent, basically, there is no deception.
It is not the largest one-time expenditure, it was World War II.

Ryan claimed that Obama’s “economic affairs command” for health care reform. This is obviously not true. Obama took office a few weeks, through the stimulus bill, the health care reform law, is a year later.
Ryan claimed that Obama’s health reform law is “to the federal government to manage health care” is a lie. The health reform law will be more regulation, brought into the health care market, it is true. However, it did not let the federal government manage medical, and really, the medical part of the federal government, for example, the federal medical insurance (Medicare) and Medicaid (Medicaid), it is Ryan claimed, to protect and enhance the project. In addition, Ryan claimed that Obama’s health reform law tax increases to several millions of small businesses, this is false, because the vast majority of cases, the Obama tax cuts for small businesses.

Obama to cut $ 716 billion in federal health care insurers, Ryan claims he covered up the fact that – those saved funds to go back to that project. He ignored another fact: he supported the same level of cuts, although he wants to save funds for tax cuts for the rich. Ryan claimed that these cuts mean that the obligations of our parents or grandparents to be sacrificed. This is not true. In fact, Medicare spending savings to sustain the project, and extend for at least eight years, free from the threat of bankruptcy.

On the national debt problem, Ryan claimed that the decision of President Obama himself, resulting in new debt increased $ 5,000,000,000,000. Of course, if people believe that history Obama was sworn in the day, it can be said to be true. In fact, the vast majority of the debt in the past three and a half years to increase is because of the policies of former President George W. Bush enacted, such as the Bush tax cuts, Iraq and the war in Afghanistan, these have been the support of Ryan. The debt is Obama any increase, but this does not mean that this is the result of the Obama decision.

Ryan claimed that Obama is the creation of a bipartisan debt commission. They proposed an emergency report. He expressed his thanks to them, and then do nothing. This argument, several levels lie. First of all, that the Commission never raised an urgent report to Obama did not put forward any proposal – because, the report of the committee, was Ryan, including members refused. The experts pointed out that Ryan last week in his speech, “they” Originally, including Ryan himself, he did this, no mention of.

Ryan said Obama doing nothing is also a lie: Obama in the fall of 2011 to the Congress to send a long-term debt reduction plan to reduce the deficit $ 4 trillion in the next 10 years. Although, one could argue that the plan is not good, or not seriously, but, said Obama do nothing, do not conform to reality.

Of course, Ryan’s speech, not accurate to say, even more. For example, Ryan claimed that Obama should be closed General Motors plant in Wisconsin responsible for those off long before Obama took office, we began.

图图要求以战争罪审判布什和布莱尔 .时间: 2012-9-2
曾获诺贝尔和平奖的南非图图大主教称,英国前首相布莱尔和美国前总统布什应被以战争罪受到起诉。
英国广播公司(BBC)说,图图在英国《观察家报》发表文章称,布莱尔和布什用谎言发动战争,侵略伊拉克,应受到海牙国际战争罪法庭的审判。

有抗议者说,布莱尔是在阿富汗和伊拉克这场毫无理由的战争的主要策划者之一。

图图说,布莱尔和布什捏造伊拉克拥有大规模杀伤性武器的说法,并发动了伊拉克战争。他说,伊拉克战争对世界稳定的危害,超过了历史上任何其他战争和冲突。

此前,南非图图大主教拒绝和布莱尔一起在约翰内斯堡举行的领袖峰会露面,他说,布莱尔支持美国为首的侵略伊拉克“道德上,不可接受”。

双重标准

布莱尔在约翰内斯堡说,对其决定派兵入侵伊拉克的指责,他回应说,当今世界,领导人在叙利亚和伊朗问题,面临同样的两难处境。他说,西方仍然面临是否干涉伊朗,是否允许伊朗取得核能力,是否应该干涉制止伊朗的问题。

“问题不在于萨达姆是好?还是坏?或者,多少伊拉克人被萨达姆屠杀?问题是:布什和布莱尔不应该让自己堕落到和他一样邪恶的水平。” — 图图大主教

图图说,2003年,以美国英国为首的,对伊拉克的侵略,导致了目前中东局势恶化,叙利亚的内战和伊朗,可能被拖入的中东冲突。

图图大主教说,“那时候的美国和英国领导人,编造借口,就像恶霸一样,制造分裂。他们把世界带到了目前的恶劣处境,我们被迫面对叙利亚和伊朗,可能出现不妙的前景。”

“问题不在于萨达姆是好,还是坏,或者多少伊拉克人被萨达姆屠杀,问题是-布什和布莱尔不应该让自己堕落到和他一样邪恶的水平”,图图说,当然,衡量西方领导人,是另外一套标准。

他说,正因为这样,在一个一致的世界,他们同非洲亚洲一些领导人犯下同样罪行,应该都要在海牙,面对审判。

布莱尔辩解

布莱尔对于上述指责,他发出措辞强硬的辩护说,“重复旧的谎言,即,说我们在情报问题上撒谎(大规模杀伤性武器),是完全错误的,所有对证据独立的分析,都能够证明这点。”

此前,在约翰内斯堡领袖峰会会场外,许多抗议者要求逮捕布莱尔。抗议者高喊“布莱尔虚伪”,“布莱尔撒谎”和“国际罪行法庭对布莱尔网开一面”等口号。有抗议者说,布莱尔是在阿富汗和伊拉克这场毫无理由的战争的主要策划者之一,战争导致数百万人死亡。

有来自非洲的网友,在BBC网站发表评论说,他一直十分钦佩图图大主教的道德勇气,但是,在南非矿工被杀引发危机的时候,他不应该为邪恶的萨达姆政权倒台,而表示惋惜。

另外,一位英国读者评论说,他和所有诚实努力工作的英国纳税人一样,都愿意看到布什和布莱尔受到审判,但,很不幸,他们太有权势,所以,不会受到战争罪行审判,受审的,都是失势的人。

他说,萨达姆虽然邪恶,但,他们从来没有对西方构成威胁,所以,对付萨达姆不是美国和英国该做的事情,那是联合国该做的事情,而且,那时候,联合国在作决定前,曾经试图找到大规模杀伤性武器。

布什政府高官纷纷加入罗姆尼团队 。时间: 2012-9-2
美国布什政府国务卿赖斯(Condoleezza Rice),上周,坦帕的共和党全国大会上,她发表讲话,引起人们长时间鼓掌欢呼,受到各家媒体赞扬。作为威信扫地的布什政府最高官员之一,这种情况,相当不错。

美国前国务卿赖斯,8月29日在共和党全国大会发表讲话,代表布什政府时期高官重新得势。

赖斯恢复名誉是布什政府恢复牌子的组成部分之一。《华盛顿邮报》说,布什离开白宫不到四年,他的团队成员,纷纷恢复高位,他们的声誉,受到重新考虑,布什的名字,正在恢复旧的光芒。

今年6月,参加罗姆尼度假地筹款活动的小布什政府高官,包括卡尔·洛夫(Karl Rove)、前国土安全部长切托夫(Michael Chertoff)、前佛罗里达州长杰布·布什(Jeb Bush)、甚至还有老布什的官员、前国务卿贝克(James Baker III)。

最令人关注的就是,布什的外交政策决策者,如何在罗姆尼的外交政策中,发挥作用。布什政府驻联合国大使波尔顿(John Bolton),是罗姆尼内幕人物之一。

布什时代的安全承包商黑水公司主管布莱克(Cofer Black),他是罗姆尼情报问题上的最高顾问,左右他在审讯恐怖嫌犯上的看法。美军入侵伊拉克之后,担任联合临时政府最高官员的森诺(Dan Senor)是副总统候选人莱恩的左右手。罗姆尼在访问以色列期间,发表有争议的讲话–声称,以色列文化的内在优越性,是以色列比巴勒斯坦经济上成功的原因之一–森诺也是那些讲话的思想家之一。

《华盛顿邮报》说,不管有无国际支持,布什都要将自己的意志,强加于世界的政策,造成美国付出太多生命、资源和国际威望的代价,布什及其高官,因此,名誉扫地。现在,他们回来了,在罗姆尼的团队安家。

从马拉松成绩,到全国大会,。。。, 莱恩都说谎 。时间: 2012-9-2

美国,假如一名政治家说,自己不到3个小时,跑完马拉松,而实际上,他是跑了四个小时,这是否重要?正常情况下,这没有太大政治意义,但是,由于这个撒谎者是共和党副总统候选人莱恩(Paul Ryan),就应当作出解释。

其原因并不难找到:在他的全国讲话中,莱恩同真实,有令人不安的距离。他在星期三,接受副总统提名的讲话上,是美国近代政治历史最不诚实的政治讲话之一。这就是为何,莱恩为何不停说谎–从马拉松所用时间,到重大政治问题
。。。的问题,相当重要。

《纽约每日新闻》再次回顾和分析莱恩的讲话。星期三晚上,莱恩声称,总统奥巴马的刺激措施,不仅是“联邦政府最大的一次性开支”,它也是“充满最坏的政治关系、公司福利、裙带关系”。“你们为这个国家工作的男男女女,都被搁在交易之外。”但是,没有一个人可以相信,刺激措施是莱恩所说的政府胡作非为,他对刺激措施的说法是假的。刺激措施,创造了250万就业,为95%的美国人减税,它是高度透明的,基本上,没有欺骗。
它更不是最大的一次性开支,那是二次世界大战。

莱恩声称,奥巴马的“第一个经济事务命令”就是医疗改革。这显然不是真的。奥巴马上台几个星期,就通过了刺激法案,而医疗改革法,是一年之后。
莱恩声称,奥巴马医改法是“要联邦政府管理医疗”,又是一个谎言。医改法将更多监管,带入医疗市场,这是真的。但是,它没有让联邦政府管理医疗,而真正是,联邦政府管理的医疗部分,例如,联邦医疗保险(Medicare )和医疗补助(Medicaid),正是莱恩声称,要保护和加强的项目。此外,莱恩声称,奥巴马医改法要为数百万小企业加税,这又是假的,因为,绝大多数情况下,奥巴马要为小企业减税。

在联邦医疗保险商,莱恩声称,奥巴马要削减7160亿美元,他掩盖了如下事实–那些节省下来的资金,大部分要回到那个项目。他无视另一事实:他支持同样程度的削减,尽管他要省下的资金,主要是用于为富人减税。莱恩声称,这些削减,意味着对我们父母或祖父母的义务,受到牺牲。这又不是真的。事实上,医疗保险开支的节省,是要维持该项目,至少延长8年,不受破产威胁。

在国家债务问题上,莱恩声称,总统奥巴马本人的决定,导致新债务增加5万亿美元。当然,如果人们相信,历史是从奥巴马宣誓就职之日开始的,那就可以说,是真的。事实上,过去三年半来的绝大多数债务增加,都是因为前总统布什立法通过的政策,比如,布什的减税、伊拉克和阿富汗战争,这些,都得到了莱恩的支持。债务是在奥巴马任上增加的,但,这不等于这是奥巴马的决策结果。

莱恩声称,奥巴马创立两党债务委员会。他们提出紧急报告。他对他们表示感谢,然后,什么都不做。这种说法,更是几个层次的谎言。首先,那个委员会,从来没有提出过紧急报告,也没有向奥巴马提出过任何建议–因为,那个委员会的报告,遭到莱恩在内的成员拒绝。专家指出,莱恩上周讲话中的“他们”,本来,包括莱恩本人,他却对此,只字不提。

莱恩所说的奥巴马什么都不做,也是谎言:奥巴马在2011年秋天,向国会送上长期减债计划,要在今后10年,减少赤字4万亿美元。虽然,人们可以说,那个计划不好,或不认真,但,说奥巴马什么都不做,却不符合现实。

当然,莱恩讲话中,不准确的说法,就更多。比如,莱恩声称,奥巴马应当对通用汽车关闭在威斯康辛的工厂负责,而那些关闭,早在奥巴马上台之前,就开始了。
