What Happens When You Can't Believe A Thing The President Says?

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.

It means you’ve woken up to the modern world. I haven’t believed a word any president has said, even the ones I liked. They’re politicians, they can’t be trusted. The difference between the good ones and bad ones is results, both ends lie most of the time there’s a microphone in the room.

Well, as long as he has his tele prompter, I think we’re okay, he’ll follow the script.

Merrill, what took you so long to wake up or recover from what ever blocked your mental abilities.

Many of us never believed anything this psychopathic liar has ever sa in his lifetimes since we became aware of him in 2008.

What happens is, things are exactly the way they are.

[sasquatch]

What happens? He gets reelected because he hasn’t had time to fix all those things that Bush put in his way./s

[tennmountainman]

WW3, that’s what.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I haven't listened to word he has spoken in about three years. He lies with every word uttered.

What happens you ask....just what is happening now. The US has lost any credibility it had left. Bush and Obama have destroyed it, possibly for decades to come .

[trebb]

That’s not quite the same as saying I don’t believe anything he says.

Yes it is - the author just doesn't want to admit it...yet.

POTUS Obama liesl....lies....lies!!! Any congress critter that votes to support his, Obama’s, planned attack on syria should be thrown out of office!!! Impeach Obama///NOW!!!!

[duckman]

IMO, zero is exclusively poll driven. His statements/decisions are not based on morals, American citizen concerns or the good of the country. He claims at times to be left of center; but he is hard left and the rest of the voters be damned.

Well, as long as he has his tele prompter, I think we’re okay, he’ll follow the script.

Not always. It is those times he goes off script, tries to ad lib, attempts to make a joke (recall Kerry's joke about those serving in Iraq?) that Obama ends up saying something that the Team have to whitewash for weeks afterward.

For all his brilliance at reading the teleprompter, it -- the brilliance -- fades rapidly when he goes off script.

[TomGuy]

POTUS Obama liesl....lies....lies!!!

I seem to recall a Supreme Court justice yelling that during a State of the Union, and that justice got severely thrashed and trashed by the Media and the politicians.

I seem to recall another time, another SOTU, a Congressperson yelling the same, and he got severely thrashed and thrashed by the Media and the politicians.

We were warned, once.

We were warned, twice.

“What Happens When You Can’t Believe A Thing The President Says?”

Remember the Clinton years?

[ThunderSleeps]

What happens? You realize any time obama’s lips are moving, he’s lying. Seriously, any and every time he strings together more than a few sentences (marked by a two or three um, ah, duh, pauses minimum) there will be a lie or two in there. I think he is incapable of being honest. He just has to lie.

[2111USMC]

That was Rep. Joe Wilson that said “You lie!”.

[2111USMC]

Don’t remember the SC Justice that did it. Was it the one who just mouthed it?

[null and void]

Apparently, nothing. *sigh*

I believe what he said to John Lott at U of Chicago when he told him he didn’t think individuals should be able to own guns.
