    Why Obama Lies

    Awesome historical truth in this article!!

    April 19, 2012 Why Obama Lies

    By Ed Lasky

    George Will writes that "Barack Obama's intellectual sociopathy -- his often breezy and sometimes loutish indifference to truth -- should no longer startle." But why do Obama and his supporters feel no compunction when they do so? And does this pattern provide an opportunity for Mitt Romney to gather votes in November?
    As has often been commented, all of Barack Obama's promises come with an expiration date. They range from the relatively minor to the truly majestic such as his promise that he would not raise taxes for those families earning under $250,000 a year and that he would cut the deficit in half.
    He peddled a world of wonders that would flow from passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The fabrications started early -- even in the very name of the act. Patients are not protected: not only will they not be able to keep their current plans if they like them, as he promised (businesses have been dropping company plans in reaction to Obamacare), but their care will fall under the control of the Independent Payment Advisory Board that may just decide that various medical procedures are not covered -- and, incidentally, the people on this board are "unelected." Where is the Patient Protection?
    Nor is the Act "affordable". Obama pledges that the Act would cut the deficit and bend the cost curve downward have been shown to be false.
    Bu the lies keep coming and will expand exponentially during the campaign at a far faster pace of growth than the economy has under Barack Obama's stewardship.
    Often these falsehoods will focus on Medicare -- trying to play the politics of fear with the politically potent group of seniors who depend on Medicare. Barack Obama recently charged that Paul Ryan's plan to reform Medicare and ensure its future viability will "end Medicare as we know it." When this lie was first used by Democrats in 2011 it won the none-too-coveted "Lie of the Year" award from Politifact, the truth-checking outfit. Regardless of this dubious distinction, Obama recycled the lie once again.
    The list can go on and on.
    Oil companies do not get "subsidies" from taxpayers ; however, his green energy boondoggles and failures (I am being redundant here) do. He claimed that Solyndra was not funded under his program "per se" but under a program funded by the all purpose straw man, George Bush. That was false. He promised that his green energy push would create 5 million jobs by 2008, but that was a lie and the numbers of jobs actually produced despite the expenditure of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars have been miniscule, as has the actual production of kilowatts. He has truly hit a gusher with his string of lies claiming credit for oil production gains over the last three years, but he has a long history of claiming credit for the work of others.
    The Supreme Court "Citizens United" decision does not permit foreign money to be donated to political campaigns, as he charged in the State of the Union address last year. It would not be "unprecedented" for the Supreme Court to find an act of Congress unconstitutional -- that is their role under our form of government and they have done so many times; nor was Obamacare passed by "strong majorities" (219-212 in the House; 60-39 in the Senate). Perhaps Barack Obama, the president of the Harvard Law Review and a lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, needs a remedial course not just on the basics of constitutional law but also in elementary school math.
    Barack Obama has won numerous awards and prizes: the Grammy Award (twice) and the Nobel Peace Prize. But he has also won numerous Pinocchio Awards bestowed by Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post for his "stretching of the truth" over the years -- and those he has actually earned and deserved.
    But why does he -- and his supporters -- feel they can so blithely lie to us?
    There are obvious reasons and one not very obvious reason.
    First, the obvious reasons.

    Good article. The material out there is vast as as his failed presidency. We will see whether the bumbling repubs have the smarts or the vision to run against his lies and record.

    The GOP has started with a good strategy...just run clips of Obama talking on both sides of issues. They've got enough original material to last through the summer with no problem.

    Willard the Flip-Flop is going to claim that Obummer takes both sides of the issue? ROTFLMAO at that one.

    Speaking of Obama lies.


    Republicans and President Obama lock horns about how much untapped oil is in the US, with some senators claiming up to 26 percent of world's untapped supply and the president saying the figure is more like two percent.

    Tyler, you're a geologist, aren't you? Didn't US oil production peak in 1958? When was the last time a 5 billion barrel oil field was discovered in the USA?

    True. And they probably flip flopped on the same exact issues. They should save their money. Obama should just keep saying I'm a Marxist and I want to fundamentally change America and Romney should say I'm not. Put the ad money towards the federal debt.

    Nice. On the other hand everybody knows that Willard LOVES money. Obummer should just offer Willard $100 million to take a dive and it's a done deal. America would be better for it. The last thing America needs is a POTUS more in LOVE with money than he is with the country.

    You have no idea what you're talking about,. Not surprising though.

    We've had a PPOTUS that hates the country more than money for the last 3 years.

    Romney does love America. Without America, Romney wouldn't have everything he has earned. He may not do the fighting in the trenches himself, but he at least supports those that do. Obama would rather them surrender, if they are even there at all since he would absolutely love to have no military whatsoever. At least, none that aren't his Schutzstaffel.

    What a stupid comment. You're a young guy, don't you have better things to do than post totally stupid comments on a politcs board? Best you get focus on your life and career, that is, unless you figure that this is your life.

    Waiting for surgery, that's about it right now. People tend to not hire you when you're going to be out of service for a month out the gate. And grad school doesn't start until September.
