Mary Maitlin, Republican strategist said this on CNN today:

“I was there, we inherited a recession from President Clinton and we inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation’s history. And President Bush dealt with it and within a year of his presidency within a comparable time, unemployment was at 5 percent.”

Apparently she was not there or completely unaware. Her misstatements are shameful and she should know better.

There was no recession before Bush took over but there was one after the 9/11 attacks when Bush was in power. Bush did not inherit a recession or attack on our soil as she claims. She is trying to white wash the Bush years with lies and it won't work. Facts will win out.

Her statement shows she has adopted the Nazi Propaganda Minster Josef Goebbels' philosophy of telling big lies over and over. This is what he said years ago:

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Maybe Mary Maitlin is a Nazi at heart.
