PolitFact: Obama Liar

From jsonline: President Barack Obama packed an upbeat job statistic for his visit to the Master Lock plant in Milwaukee.
"For the first time since 1990, American manufacturers are creating new jobs," the president said on Feb. 15, 2012, as he praised Master Lock for bringing jobs back from China.
"American manufacturers are hiring for the first time since 1990," Obama said in repeating the claim two days later at a Boeing plant in Washington state.
The remarks got wide media play....
Obama claimed the nation was experiencing the first uptick "since 1990."
But the nation experienced a sustained period of modest manufacturing growth deep into the 1990s, most of it under the watch of President Bill Clinton. He presided during the longest continuous economic expansion in U.S. history.
In fact, the nation’s manufacturing boat rose with that tide, for a time at least, ticking up in the middle part of that decade and peaking in 1997, federal employment statistics show.
None of this was news to the White House, whom we contacted after checking the president’s remarks against his speech text. They forwarded a blueprint by the White House’s economic advisers that says the growth is the best since "the late 1990s."
The reference was correct in the Milwaukee the speech text, too (the italics are ours):
"For the first time since the 1990s, American manufacturers are creating new jobs, which is good for companies up and down the supply chain.  You’ve all heard enough about outsourcing.  Well, more and more companies like Master Lock are now insourcing."
The White House said the president deviated from the text in Milwaukee, and it turns out he did the same thing in Washington state.

So, maybe the mistake was truly a mistake, but didn't anyone in the White House try and tell Obama he lied?  Or did Obama just flat out lie and didn't care what the truth is?
Either way, it shows that Obama and his yes men and women have little ethics and don't care what the truth is.
