What Happens When You Can't Believe A Thing The President Says?
Forbes ^ | 6 Sep 2013 | Merrill Matthews

I have come to the point that I cannot believe a thing President Obama says. That’s not quite the same as saying I don’t believe anything he says. When he speaks he may be telling the truth, he may not be, or he may be parsing his words to mislead. But it’s impossible to know which is which?

...

With respect to Syria, the president tells us there will be no U.S. boots on the ground. Um, would that be like:

•If you like your health coverage you can keep it. Most people won’t be able to.

•Health insurance premiums for a family would be $2,500 lower by the end of his first term in office. They were actually about $3,000 higher.

•The Obama administration was not responsible for proposing the budget sequester idea. Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward challenged this claim and forced the administration to backtrack.

•Money from the nearly $800 billion stimulus package would be spent on “shovel-ready projects” and unemployment would drop to 5.3 percent by the end of his first term. The president later conceded the projects weren’t as shovel ready as he had hoped and unemployment was 7.9 percent.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but, in fact, the pResident later smirkingly admitted that there never were any shovel ready jobs!

One, of course Obama is liar, ALL Liberals are fifthly pathological habitual liars.

Two, Obama's lies are on the press. Obama has been lying since day 1, and since day 1 the press has been dutifully reporting his lies as truth. So why shouldn't Obama continue to lie? He knew he will never get called on it. It's only now that he pissed off other World leaders and went way too far with "I didn't say Red line" that the world Press is turning on him.

After the latest outrage, Barry claiming “I didn’t draw that red-line ... you did!” well, we know his supporters don’t have any respect for anyone or anything else, but if they can’t admit the mendacity there: they don’t have any respect for themselves.
And yes— I’m prepared to hear them say, “He didn’t say that!” even though his statement escaped the memory hole and is there for anyone with a molecule of self-respect to see and acknowledge.

His big agenda has a name which must not be spoken. And until it is, his smaller statement must be taken as lies. Domestically, is he a Socialist, or not? Globally, is he an Islamist, or not? Until he speaks to those questions he’s not to be trusted.
