“No. 1,” declared Mitt Romney in Wednesday’s debate, “pre-existing
conditions are covered under my plan.” No, they aren’t — as Mr. Romney’s
own advisers have conceded in the past, and did again after the debate.

Was Mr. Romney lying? Well, either that or he was making what amounts
to a sick joke. Either way, his attempt to deceive voters on this issue was the
biggest of many misleading and/or dishonest claims he made over the course
of that hour and a half. Yes, President Obama did a notably bad job of
responding. But I’ll leave the theater criticism to others and talk instead about
the issue that should be at the heart of this election.

You may be right, but I wouldn't cite the Times as evidence.

Odd that you aren't angry at Obama for lying about the $5T tax break.
Because he was either lying or simply doesn't understand "big picture" economics.

Sure, Romney's 20% cut adds up to about $5T less over 4 years. But the cut is not a stand-alone modification. When Romney closes loop holes and deductions, the Revenue deficit is no where near the $5T value. I'm not saying that the net effect is zero. I'm just pointing out that Obama was flat out lying repeatedly in order to mislead the viewing audience.

It's apparent that Obama, if he's not lying, simply doesn't understand tax revenues when more than one factor is involved. Which is understandable, since even Tim Geithner doesn't understand it.
