Gee, I wonder why he scheduled an event in Florida today?

Maybe because the Trayvon riots were scheduled to start....he could have been the healer in chief, soul sister soul searcher, etc.

He is trying to destroy it.

I specifically remember seeing a clip of him early in 2009, when he said, “I am the President of the United States. No one should make more than me.” He pointed to his chest, too.

If a Democrat says it, it must be the truth! And the more often they say it, the more truthiness it gains! Just ask Big Media.........

Oh, it just happened and you were too stupid to figure out what was going on, eh?

Was it by any chance Dubya's fault?

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more. "

It's either "Bush's Fault" or "I never said that".

Half the country believes him too.

Who’da thunk a narcissist would lie?

Definitely breaking news.

Obama lies.
All the time.
He knows no other way.
He doesn’t care.
