Quote of the Day - Washington Post Edition

 As we said before, we understand the need for symbolism. But that does not give a president license to stretch the facts.

Calling out the Republicans at the Brent Spence bridge was bad enough, given the bipartisan support for its reconstruction. But pointing to the Sherman Milton Bridge, which already has been repaired without funding from the president’s jobs bill, is ridiculous.

 Perhaps the president was using outdated talking points, but that’s little excuse. Given that the president earned Three Pinocchios before, we have little choice but to up the ante this time.

 Washington Post on President Obama's transportation and jobs bill speech Monday.  I understand it is hard for him to fathom this, but the states fixed the bridge themselves without using federal money.  The horror.
