NBC's Lauer: 'Now the President Always Has to Back Up His Words With Proof?'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/05/2013 6:07:08 PM PST by chessplayer

During a panel discussion on Tuesday's NBC Today about the White House releasing a photo of President Obama skeet shooting to dispel doubt about his claim of doing it "all the time," co-host Matt Lauer worried about the precedent that had been set: "So like releasing the birth certificate a year or so ago, this is the next step, that now the President always has to back up his words with proof?"

Well, Matt, as they say: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof."

The picture did not show him shooting skeet, it merely showed him holding a shotgun, or a “gauge” as the gangstas call it.

Brought to you by the same leftist media who confessed that they never vetted Obama.

Hey Matt! Remember Joe Wilson and what he said to 0bama at the SOTU speech? Is your health insurance policy going to cost less, Matt? Are you going to be able to keep your doctor, Matt? I could go on, and on, but I won't, Matt.

Anyway Matt, here's a refresher course for you: YOU LIE!

Hope that helps, Matt.

He fears something like this, if his grades are ever published...

I'm not so sure it's about the grades. It could be about the titles of the courses he took

No, it's about whether he was listed as a foreign student or an American. It's about a social security number. I don't actually care what Obama took in college and I certainly don't care what his grades were.

I have his first four years in office to prove his incompetence. ;)

Like Matt is going to ever see any post here... get real folks, to him we either don’t exist or are a bunch of hicks to be ignored.

You have to call, mail, email or confront him personally and even then he will probably ignore you.

I ignore him

TT

Come to think of it, I don’t recall people asking Reagan for proof he was telling the truth.

There’s gotta be a hidden lesson in there somewhere.

"...now the President always has to back up his words with proof?"

In a word, yes. Even then, I'd check the "proof" very, very carefully.

Given hussein's demonstrated and documented propensity for lying I have long assumed anything and everything he says is a lie. I could list a couple dozen here off the top of my head, but that'd just waste time/space. Anyone that's interested can do a quick Internet search and find sites with hundreds of examples of hussein's lies.

So yes Matt, hussein has burned up any shred of credibility he may have once had - you ought to know how that goes. So yes, he does have to provide incontrovertible proof for any and every claim he makes. When the statements are in regards to his "image" then there is no proof - his image and legacy are irrecoverable.

Absolutely. And instead of just one Congressman yelling “you lie” at the State of the Union address, I want the whole damned Repulican side of the aisle to stand up and shout “YOU LIE” in unison this year . . . heck, make a chant out of it!!!! The President has disrespected the citizens of this nation by repeatedly deceiving them and lying to them. Screw the House rules.

Yeah, Matt...that's probably the best place to start. You realize, of course, that if this Soetoro clown wasn't such a thoroughgoing liar, people wouldn't be asking him to verify whatever he might say quite so often.
