Obama's Straw Man

Karl Rove finds a creative way to call President Obama a liar:
President Barack Obama reveres Abraham Lincoln. But among the glaring differences between the two men is that Lincoln offered careful, rigorous, sustained arguments to advance his aims and, when disagreeing with political opponents, rarely relied on the lazy rhetorical device of "straw men." Mr. Obama, on the other hand, routinely ascribes to others views they don't espouse and says opposition to his policies is grounded in views no one really advocates.

Karl provides lots of examples where Obama claims to be opposing Republican views, but no Republicans actually hold those views. It's disingenuous at best, outright lying at worst. Read the whole thing.
