The Hypocrite-In-Chief’s own words:
Tag Archives: Obama liar
The stinking liar lies AGAIN
And the Washington Post calls Mr Obama out on it.
Obama’s claim that the GOP has ‘blocked every serious idea’
by Glenn Kessler
“So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class.”
–President Obama, weekly address, July 12, 2014
This has become a standard line in the president’s oratory, as part of making his case that he’s “acted this year to help working Americans on my own– when Congress won’t act.”
The Pinocchio Test
We make no judgement on which side has the surplus of “serious ideas,” but the president is engaging in rhetorical overkill. Certainly this congressional session has resulted in few major laws. Perhaps he could make a case that Republicans have blocked many bills that he has sought—or even that his most prized initiatives have been stymied.
But to claim that “every serious idea” has been blocked is going too far–given that the president lauded at least three bills as aiding the middle class. (Update: In a speech the morning this column appeared, the president adjusted his language appropriately: “Republicans in Congress keep blocking or voting down some of the ideas that would have the biggest impact on middle-class and working families.”)
Therefore, the Washington Post gives Mr Obama:
Three Pinocchios
This is a “nice” way to say: YOU LIE.
Speaking of “you lie,” let’s revisit an event during an Obama speech in the House regarding the ACA, on September 9th of 2009, wherein Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina shouted “you lie” in the midst of the address:
It turns out that Rep Wilson was prescient: it has been made abundantly clear that illegal aliens will have their healthcare covered, despite the fact that they have done absolutely nothing to earn it.
Yes, Obama lies. He lied then and he lies now.
Again.
And no one seems to care.

Obama: ‘Raising the Debt Ceiling…Does Not Increase Our Debt,’ Though It Has ‘Over 100 Times’
The Emperor is naked.
Again.
Revealed by himself.
Again.
Correct; take a look at that headline above once more.
By Craig Bannister
Raising the debt ceiling doesn’t increase the nation’s debt, Pres. Obama declared in a speech today.
In a speech at the Business Roundtable headquarters in Washington, D.C., Obama dismissed concerns about raising the debt ceiling by noting that it’d been done so many times in the past:
“Now, this debt ceiling — I just want to remind people in case you haven’t been keeping up — raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy. All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you’ve already racked up, Congress. It’s a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved.”
Obama went on to suggest that “the average person” mistakenly thinks that raising the debt ceiling means the U.S. is racking up more debt.
Discounting the sheer insanity of that statement, it’s odd, isn’t it, that the only media outlets reporting this little gem are those leaning to the right. The rest of the American Media Maggots are reporting that Mr Obama “refuses to let the debt limit be a bargaining chip.”
This is the same man who, as a senator, ranted about having to vote for an increase in the national debt to roughly $8 trillion dollars — a drop in the bucket today.
The Emperor is not only naked, but chancred, addled and drooling.

The over-reaching power of the IRS and why it needs to be GUTTED
This is one chilling video, and John Eastman nails it precisely:
Following that testimony, it was revealed that, concurrently, the IRS pisses away your money:
IRS Audit Details $4.1 Million Conference
By SIOBHAN HUGHES
WASHINGTON—The 2010 Internal Revenue Service employee conference that has drawn criticism paid $17,000 to a keynote speaker who drew pictures of the singer Bono and the physicist Albert Einstein to inspire IRS employees to free up their thought process and find creative solutions to challenges, according to a report released Tuesday.
The conference for 2,609 employees in Anaheim, Calif., cost $4.1 million. Lawmakers had recently released some details of the conference—including videos of IRS workers engaged in a “Star Trek” parody and a line dance—but the full report wasn’t publicly available until Tuesday.
Republican Darrell Issa weighs in with logic:
“The wasteful Anaheim conference is one example of a culture of excess that plagues the IRS and many federal agencies,” said Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, (R., Calif.) in a statement released Tuesday. “Taxpayer money meant to pay for a core agency mission, the hiring of more enforcement personnel, was instead spent on a lavish party. Perhaps most disturbingly, there appears to have been little or no effort by the IRS to hold those responsible for this wasteful spending accountable.”
And watch the testimony of Becky Gerritson:
Further:
Rep. Jim McDermott (D., Wash.) gave the hearing a jolt when he questioned whether the conservatives were being unreasonable by claiming that they were entitled to a tax-advantaged status on a fast-track basis for political work. “Each of your groups is highly political,” Mr. McDermott said. “You are all entrenched in some of the most controversial political issues in the country, and with your applications you were asking the American public to pay for that work,” Mr. McDermott said.
That prompted a strong reaction from Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.).
“We have not heard any testimony that this is happening to groups that have the opposing views,” Mr. Ryan said, looking at Mr. McDermott. “So to suggest that these citizens are to blame for applying—I don’t understand how anyone can make that conclusion,” Mr. Ryan said.
These weren’t accidents. They were acts of overt intimidation. These acts were condoned by their administrations. The Obama Administration.
What about Organizing For Action? What about MoveOn.org?
There are rules for those supporting Obama. There are separate rules for those opposing Obama. Who knew? Who gave the orders? When did they know it?
Yes. Your loving IRS.

BREAKING: Holder OK’d search warrant for Fox News reporter’s private emails, official says
From, oddly enough, NBC News:
Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on a controversial search warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a “possible co-conspirator” in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, a law enforcement official told NBC News on Thursday.
The disclosure of the attorney general’s role came as President Barack Obama, in a major speech on his counterterrorism policy, said Holder had agreed to review Justice Department guidelines governing investigations that involve journalists.
Holder previously said he recused himself from the AP subpoena because he had been questioned as a witness in the underlying investigation into a leak about a foiled bomb plot in Yemen. His role in personally approving the Rosen search warrant had not been previously reported.
Ladies and gentlemen, the fingerprints may finally be on the knife.
The fingerprints belonging to a major player in the OBAMA Cabinet.
James Rosen’s warrant was signed by Eric Holder.
And so: WHY isn’t this splayed all over the national media?
Oh yeah; right.
Obama is so duplicitous. He mentions the case; he purposely does not mention Eric Holder and does not call for the resignation or firing or prosecution of Eric Holder.
Ben Stein — who worked in the Nixon Administration, just said on O’Reilly: “This is Richard Nixon all over again, minus all the foreign policy achievements.”
