Libya and Lies
American Spectator ^ | 10.23.12 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 10/23/2012 5:46:51 AM PDT by Snuph

It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was "offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about? Remember his pledge to cut the deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the first trillion dollar deficit ever, under any President of the United States -- followed by trillion dollar deficits in every year of the Obama administration. Remember his pledge to have a "transparent" government that would post its legislative proposals on the Internet several days before Congress was to vote on them, so that everybody would know what was happening? This was followed by an Obamacare bill so huge and passed so fast that even members of Congress did not have time to read it. Remember his claims that previous administrations had arrogantly interfered in the internal affairs of other nations -- and then his demands that Israel stop building settlements and give away land outside its 1967 borders, as a precondition to peace talks with the Palestinians, on whom there were no preconditions? As for what happened in Libya, the Obama administration says that there is an "investigation" under way. An "on-going investigation" sounds so much better than "stonewalling" to get past election day. But you can bet the rent money that this "investigation" will not be completed before election day. And whatever the investigation says after the election will be irrelevant.

Saying he was "offended" was NOT a denial.

It was a non-denial denial.

That "I am offended .. " remark was SO waiting to be pounced upon, and twice Romney let it go by.

YOU'RE offended ?

How about the trillions you've stolen from the American people and GAVE, gratis .. to LOSERS ?

YOU'RE offended ?

Excuse me, Mr president ... but YOU are an OFFENSE to America.


I don't know how that would have played out ... but it would have broken the sound barrier across the seven seas from the whoops and hollers of patriots just losin' it.

” What has this man not deceived the public about?”

Exactly. Obama’s “offended” remark reduces to this: he is offended by truth-telling since any time someone calls him on any of his near-daily deceptions/obfuscations, he takes offense!

I don’t recall this one Snuph. Did you message it to jazusamo for the T. Sowell PING list? If not you might want to PING jazusamo on this one so he can notify everyone on his list there’s a new T. Sowell article.

That would be a never-ending-investigation.

” “I will be held accountable,” Obama said. “I’ve got four years and … A year form now, I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress, but there’s still going to be some pain out there … If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.””

Why no TV ad like this ?
