Daniel Webster, you see, died in 1852. The chamber in which
then-Senator Obama and every other 20th century senator
served wasn’t built and opened for business until — 1859. Seven
years after Webster’s death.
Just like LBJ and the made-up story of his great-great
grandfather dying at the Alamo, Obama makes up a small point of
history — that is 100% false.
• The Shovel Ready Jobs: Much was made by Obama
during the passage of the so-called stimulus bill of thousands of
“shovel ready” jobs that would instantly kick in and stimulate the
economy. By June of 2011, just over two years later, Obama was
joking —
joking that well, chuckle chuckle, “shovel ready was not as
shovel ready as we expected.” Just as LBJ played games with budget
figures, Obama was essentially admitting that well, OK, so he knew
“shovel ready” didn’t really mean “shovel ready.”
And so on — and on. And on.
Now come reports that the Obama promise in selling Obamacare —
the promise that if you want to keep your doctor you can — is
turning out to be decidedly untrue. Now comes word that all the
denials of “death panels” are, in fact, not true.
The panels are quite real — they are just camouflaged with a
bureaucratic moniker called Independent Payment Advisory Board
(IPAB) — a panel with the power to ration the care you will get —
or not get.
So in fact, Presidents Obama and Johnson do in fact have
something eerily in common.
They both believed, as Jeremiah Wright says of Obama, that
“the truth is what we say it is.”
And in believing this, in following Lyndon Johnson’s path to
precisely the same credibility gap when it comes to the truth,
Barack Obama is well on his way to making of the Obama White House
precisely what such conduct made of the Johnson White House:
The Alamo.

Louis! He NEVER tells the truth.
The Rev Wright tapes from Ed Klein are out there and Wright quotes him as saying what politicians *say* is the truth. And much more:
http://www.theblaze.com/storie.....book-autho
Also find it on Hannity's radio website where the tapes were also played. Although they have not played the part where Rev Wright Wright “made it comfortable” for Obama to accept Christianity without having to renounce his “Islamic background,” which Klein recorded on tape...
And today Breitbart.com has the 1991 bio where he is claimed to have been born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii --- just to make him look better, of course. Like Fauxcahantas Warren I guess.
The GBTV link I provided above shows back to back lies -

Hell, there was an article on the net some years ago from a Kenyan newspaper that called then Sen. Obama, Kenyan born. I have a copy of it.
Is the entire world full of cowards???
So if the Obozo defense is that he streached the truth in 1991, we have a right to demand is he still lying now!!!
Appleby| 5.17.12 @ 7:05AM
Obama is a man without a past -- who is trying with idiotic and pitiful desperation to invent one for himself. I knew people like this when I was in school. A couple of them committed suicide when their fantasy world began to crumble away.
Many people have rotten pasts and struggle in the present, and they don't know what the future will bring but it's sure to be difficult. Some of them retreat into fantasyland; some of them realize that it's possible to change the future but only if you embrace the present and understand the past.
Obama is a man whose past has been so vigorously supressed that he has no platform on which to stand and view either the present or the future. I am going to predict that he'll be the first American president to commit suicide the day the music dies.

A "brief" observation for all you. Like any incumbent, he really does have a right to run and try to get re-elected. He has zero obligation to roll over and play dead. It's not his to give away, it's Romney's to take and he has no obligation to cooperate in his own defeat. And please, the "sainted" republicans of the past? Reagan in Iceland going up there willing to totally destroy all nukes? That was interesting in addition to the fact that he was probably impeachable on Iran Contra. And Bush? Absolutely totally ignored the Constitution for eight years and probably equally impeachable for a whole lot of things? Not "much" better than his successor if at all?
Again, Romney, like any challenger has to take it from the guy who has it not expect to have him hand it to him. Short of this guy pulling an LBJ (don't hold your breath) deal with what you have and the cards you're being dealt. It's a LONG way to November.

For years many of us have opined that Obozo chose Wright's hateful church to establish his street creds to run for office from Chicago.
We are so far ahead of the rest of America, it ain't even close.
P.S. The only thing Obozo did invent was Obozo himself, ah, with a little help from Bill Ayers.

The following is the opposite of LIES, and is in fact sadly the TRUTH [and not to be read by members of TAS PARAGRAPH SWAT TEAM]:
'............Sacrificial scamsby Ann Coulter Posted 05/16/2012 ETUpdated 05/16/2012 ETThe real class warfare in this country isn't rich vs. poor, it's government employees vs. we, the taxpayers, who pay their salaries. Working for the government is supposed to be a trade-off: You can't be fired and don't have to exert yourself, but you will receive smaller remuneration than in the private sector, where layoffs are common (especially in the Obama economy!). Instead, government jobs are safe, secure, pressure-free -- and now, amazingly lucrative! Whether it's in Wisconsin, Illinois, California or the nation's capital, today's public sector workers expect to do little or no work (I'm not counting partying in Las Vegas as "work"), and then be lavishly compensated. Often, the only heavy lifting they do all week is picking up their paychecks. When government employees mobbed the state capitol in Wisconsin last year, the upside was: They got to bully people. The downside: Voters finally found out what these public servants were being paid. Their compensation included not only straight salary, but also lavish overtime benefits, pensions, health care plans, sick days and vacation time (most of which they spent protesting). The unions thought they could fight back against Gov. Scott Walker's tiny pension rollbacks without anyone finding out the details. Most people saw what public employees were getting and assumed it was a misprint. Two years ago, seven bus drivers in Madison, Wis., made more than $100,000 a year. A few years before that, we found out that the city manager of little Bell, Calif. -- per capita annual income $24,800 -- was making $787,637, or including benefits: $1.5 million a year. The chief of police was getting $457,000 a year -- $770,046 counting benefits -- making him the first chief of police to commit highway robbery on the job. The assistant city manager was taking home $376,288 per year, for a total compensation package of $845,960.All were Democrats, the party of Big Government. Speaking of which -- whatever happened to that investigation Gov. Jerry Brown was launching into these thieving public servants drawing million-dollar pensions from California taxpayers? The Bell scandal broke during the California gubernatorial race between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown, who was then state attorney general. Brown vowed a no-holds-barred inquiry. Anyone seen his report yet? Jerry Brown will demand to see Obama's birth certificate before he will call for a rollback of these undeserved, million-dollar government pensions. Less than 20 percent of private sector employees get pensions. Most people save their own money for retirement -- for example, through 401(k)s. By contrast, government employees expect to be paid by us for the rest of their lives.
Former representative and amateur home pornographer Anthony Weiner was a member of Congress until he resigned last June in order to spend more time with his hard drive. He will probably end up collecting about a million dollars from his 80 percent taxpayer-funded government pension. These are the "1 percent" deserving of the public's wrath: We're paying their salaries. We weren't taxed to pay Mitt Romney's salary at Bain Capital. We aren't taxed to pay the salaries of Jamie Dimon or Alex Rodriguez. Anthony Weiner? Him, we pay for. Government employees expect to live like something out of the czar's court -- and then have us admire them as if they're Rosa Parks. At the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Barack and Michelle Obama both paid heartfelt tributes to themselves for passing up money-grubbing private sector jobs to work in "public service." In her speech, Michelle boasted that she had "tried to give back to this country."
"... That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities."
She was hired by the University of Chicago Hospital as soon as her husband became a state senator. When he was elected to the U.S. Senate, her salary nearly tripled, from $121,910 to $316,962 -- and the junior senator from Illinois returned the favor by sending taxpayer dollars the hospital's way. By Obama's second year in the U.S. Senate, in 2006, Michelle Obama's compensation from "public service" was approximately $375,000 a year -- more than triple the average salary for a lawyer in the United States with 20 years' experience. (America to the Obamas: "You two have sacrificed enough. Please retire and kick back a little!") Vice President Joe Biden, long touted as the poorest U.S. senator, took home $248,459 in household income in 2006, including his public school teacher wife's salary, also paid by taxpayers. In 2007, these working poor made $319,853. This puts the couple nearly into the top 1 percent of all earners in the U.S., where the median household income was $48,201 in 2006 and $50,233 in 2007. A career in "public service" pays well.........'

So will he follow LBJ and partially abdicate by dropping out of the race? His ego won't allow it but once the polls show his campaign is toast, the Clintonistas might throw him under the bus so Hillary would get her chance. The birther issue could be used by them to facilitate converting him into a speed-bump under a public transit vehicle. This scares me because HRC might be able to beat Romney.

Speaking of re-writing history - in 1991, who furnished the literary agent with the information that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii? Obama,presumably hired the agency, did he not?
Remember Alan Keyes confronting Obama with the first "birther" statement - that he was not born in the United States - and Obama's retort - "So what, I am running to U.S. Senate, not President...."it is on tape - still on YouTube.
Maybe Breitbart, from the grave, will unmask Obama - no one else has - including Jeffrey Lord.

We have a Composite President - the biggest "dream of his father" was apparently a figment of Barry's imagination - - evolving as the hands on a clock.

From Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat
"INDONESIA - Dog meat is haram for Muslims and as such, it is not consumed by most of Indonesia's predominantly Muslim population. However, dog meat is eaten by several of Indonesia's non-Muslim minorities. The Islamic faith considers the meat of canines to be ritually unclean, along with swine. The consumption of dog meat in Indonesia is mainly practiced by remote tribes and does not appear to be a widespread phenomena, given that Indonesia's population is largely Muslim.
In Indonesia, the consumption of dog meat is usually associated with the Minahasa, an ethnic group in northern Sulawesi, and Bataks of northern Sumatra, who consider dog meat to be a festive dish and usually reserve it for special occasions like weddings and Christmas.[79] Popular Indonesian dog-meat dishes are rica-rica, called variably as "RW" or rintek wuuk, rica-rica waung, guk-guk, and "B1". Locally on Java, there are several names for dishes made from dog meat, such as sengsu (tongseng asu), sate jamu, and kambing balap."
From Brietbart -
"In fact, in Jakarta, where the Obamas lived with their Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, dog meat is illegal. In the majority Muslim Indonesia, eating dog is forbidden among most ethnic groups in the islands, though a small, black market is said to exist for those looking for it. The only exception are the Batak people, principally of Northern Sumatra who eat it on holidays--but Obama's stepfather, who was raised in West Java, isn’t a part of that ethnic group. Besides, the Obamas lived hundreds of miles and several islands away.
A diplomatic source close to the Indonesian delegation in the U.S. confirms that while dog is sometimes eaten in Indonesia, it is done so very rarely. “Obama had to go hunting for dog meat,” the source, who didn’t want to be identified, told me.
“I don’t know of anyone who eats it and frankly, I’m a little offended you would ask.”
Breitbart.com scoured Indonesian cook books. Not one mentions ways to prepare dog."
