Falsehood Wrapped in Fallacy

On Tuesday we quoted The Washington Post's Dana Milbank saying some ugly things about POTUS, here he is again with more. He listened to Obama's "big speech" about matters economic and his verdict isn't pretty:
I had high hopes for President Obama’s speech on the economy. But instead of going to Ohio on Thursday with a compelling plan for the future, the president gave Americans a falsehood wrapped in a fallacy.

The falsehood is that he has been serious about cutting government spending. The fallacy is that this election will be some sort of referendum that will break the logjam in Washington.
That is just the killer quote, the rest of the article is good, too.
