Obama vs. Obama

Heritage has put together this devastating 17-second video exposing Obama's lie from yesterday that he never advocated a single-payer health care system.

Additionally, in this same town hall, he says " I want to make a distinction between a universal plan versus a single-payer plan, because those are two different things." Yet in his earlier remarks in the video, he refers to "single payer health care plan - universal health care plan" as being synonymous.

Also, is he saying that "supporter" and "proponent" have different meanings? Both mean "advocate" according to the dictionary (I know, I'm too old-school here.)

Why would anyone trust this kind of double-talk?

I love it when he compared the US Post Office with UPS/FedEx...priceless...just priceless.

I know there a lot of bama voters out there that are reading this, so listen UP YOU GOT WHAT YOU VOTED FOR.

It's the condescending expression he has when blatantly lying that gets you....

The media is a disgrace. They'll cover a spray painted swastika but not a direct lie by the President?

And the White House "rebuttal" was a joke - they said the video took things out of context but rather than show more footage of the same events to prove the "out of context" charge, they showed a recent event where Osama says the opposite. How is that a rebuttal? That is the whole point - that he is saying the opposite of what he clearly believes based on his own previous statements.

I wonder what a Psychiatrist would say about Obama's blatant public lies. Obama must have a mental or moral disconnect to be capable of this perfidy. It's not normal behavior.
