Obama: "We Have Not Massively Expanded The Welfare State"
RCP Video ^ | 2-3-2014

Posted on 02/04/2014 5:31:42 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

PRESIDENT OBAMA: ......because I think what used to be considered sensible we now somehow label as liberal. Think about it: Social Security, Medicare.

O'REILLY: But you are pay into that. It's the freebies that are are the problem.

OBAMA: What freebies are we talking about? Welfare actually is worth less now than it was 20, 30 years ago. It's worth less than it was under Ronald Reagan.

O'REILLY: Take a look at the disability explosion. I mean, it's insane. The work place isn't any more dangerous now than it was 20 years ago. It's through the roof.

OBAMA: Bill, the point is we have not massively expanded the welfare state, that's just not true.

I assumed nobody really watched the O'Reilly vs Obama interview nor cared enough to read the whole transcript.

All these tidbits coming out is "very interesting". Showing Obama as the complete idiot that he is is a very kind saying. And now Obama claims O'Reilly treated him unfairly.

It's unfair to ask Obama a question he has to answer with a lie. < /s>

It’s desperation. When a narcissist is cornered, he becomes VERY dangerous. Obama is bound to slip up soon. It’s not if but when.

Another 'freebie' today.

Obama: "In A Lot of Ways Richard Nixon Was More Liberal Than I Was"

OBAMA:

You know, the truth of the matter is when you look at some of my policies, in a lot of ways Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was. [He] started the E.P.A, you know, started a whole lot of the regulatory state that has helped make our air and water clean.

...... F.D.R. Johnson. But I tend not to think about these things in terms as liberal and Democrat or liberal and conservative because at any given time the question is what does the country need right now?

The undocumented, proven-LIAR, remains
incapable of either following the Constitution
OR telling the truth.

The EXEMPT Congress could not care.

Well, as a Vietnam vet who used the GI Bill to get a bachelors degree, my ears perked up when Obama compared the GI Bill to welfare. That really pissed me off as I’m sure it did most other vets who watched. Those of us who served consider the GI Bill to be an earned benefit. But, I suppose liberals consider the same of welfare - just occurred to me....

He lies so much, even he doesn’t know what the truth is. Those within his bubble are feeding him the lies, he is making his own, and the lamestream media is repeating them. The low information voters buy into the lies. The educated know the emperor has no clothes.

My tolerance level for BOR is exactly ZILCH, so I do not watch his show.

That said, it would be hard to determine just who is more full of crap when he is on with The Stain.

>>>> Obama: “.... because at any given time the question is what does the country need right now”

Obama answers what the country needs right now with more ways to a global communism path.
