I heard a figure for the number of speeches Obama has given since elected. The number was a little hard to believe but after some checking, I believe the number is close. CBS reported that President Obama delivered his 200th speech since taking office when Obama announced his nomination for U.S. Surgeon General on July 13, 2009. At a later date, a blog site posted the number of speeches and remarks as 262. The addition of the word “remarks” detracts somewhat from the information I was seeking but worthwhile nothing nonetheless. The 262 number may include Obama’s speeches before and after his election.
In any case, this quote from a wise Indian Chief comes to mind. It does not require many words to speak the truth. Chief Joseph (Hinmaton, Yalatkit) Nez Perce-(Nimiputimt) (???-1905).
This next observation applies to all politicians; Political language ... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”
President Obama was quite clear when he stated in his September 9, 2009 address to Congress, There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.
At this point in the President’s speech Joe Wilson, a South Carolina Republican member of Congress shouted the words, “you lie”. Later that same evening Congressman Wilson apologized to President Obama and the President accepted his apology. However, it begs the question, what moved Congressman Wilson to emote such a rude outburst?
In any case, I would suggest that the socialist, liberals, and democrats who are still experiencing distress over Joe Wilson’s words demand that he prove his assertion that Obama lied. The search for that answer should either satisfy or silence the liberals.
Another cogent question that relates to this issue ask if HR3200 does not apply to those who are here legally what will provide for their health care needs?
Illegals will still be covered under the law. Obama knows that.
But also interesting thoughts, IRS will hand over our tax returns to make sure we are telling the truth on income and dependents on how much we can pay.
But I also heard there is no provision to prove you are legal in order to get healthcare.
So illegal care which is billions at cost to taxpayers is still going to be a problem. One other thing to is Obama plans on amnesty just in time for 2010 elections. Technically they won’t be illegal but still coming across the border in droves.
And abortion live paid for by taxpayers alive and well with Capps amendment.
Obama did lie. He needs to take care of the 40% congress graft and corruption in gvmnt HC before he moves on to takeover all of America’s care.
Are most politicians crooked?
A better question might be "Did Zero ever tell the truth about anything?" The list would be shorter.
If obama wants a nazi nation he will have to put up a fight.
Plus the SAVE act and Heller Amendment on the subject were each voted down in mark-up committees.
Every day in every way. That is all he knows. His life is a lie, his words are a lie and his actions are evil and destructive.
Did Obama lie? Do bears defecate in the woods?
As a sailor did I visit French, Italian, and Greek Whore Houses?
Illegals will be covered.
And, in any case, doctors will not be allowed to inquire into anyone’s visa status.
So, yes, he lied. Anyone paying attention knows he lied.
Now, when he said his health plan will be paid for by cutting out Medicare waste, does anyone really believe that? No?
Another lie.
When he said that there will not be a death panel, that is of course another lie. He has members of his inner circle arguing, in writing, that its necessary, he himself argues that its necessary, and in fact applying a cost-benefit analysis is a very basic part of his plan. Yes, there will be a panel deciding if you qualify for certain treatments, and your doctor won’t be on that panel and neither will you.
When he says your medicare won’t change, he’s lying, because he just said they are going to go in and take out billions worth of “waste”. What kind of “waste” is he going to find that they aren’t already finding? Your medicare is indeed going to change. He says you can keep your current coverage, but in fact he’s going to rig the game so you can’t. I don’t like my coverage, it so happens, but the fact is that again he isn’t telling the truth.
He says it won’t fund abortion, and it may not in the initial version of the bill, but you can bet that within two years it certainly will. He says doctors can keep their “conscience” exemptions, but those are already under assault all over, and the people leading the assault are Obamists, so he’s lying again. Your “conscience” exemption may not fall as part of this bill, but they will continue to attack it until its gone.
You see, they could come up with a plan that simply funded whatever the doctor did, but thats not what they’re doing. They are going to give us several volumes phone-book thick of controls on clinics and hospitals. They are going to take control, although he says they won’t.
Almost nothing he said, then, was true. Not “did he lie” but rather, was anything he said true? No, not much.
I was puking in the waste basket.
I was puking in the waste basket.
From the moment his lips started moving until the moment they stopped.
I’ll give the Presient the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe he was misinformed, that perhaps someone lied to him and he believed it. In that case, he would be wrong and he woudl be spreading false information, but not technically lying.
This is more than liberals hve ever been able to grant the previous President.
I don’t think I would put money against it.
Does a frog have a waterproof a$$?
They wouldn’t be in politics otherwise.

Politics, the easiest scam in town, get paid big bucks to do nothing but bloviate and destroy the country.
