"It is a lie, plain and simple." re: death panels

"This too is false." re: covered illegals

"No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions."

This man lies like the worst rug Jim Traficant has ever worn. Every responsible, respectable analyst who has looked into the abortion claim has agreed that Obama is lying about this. His plan DOES cover abortions.

ANd it has no enforcement mechanism to keep from covering illegals. And there IS good reason to believe, as Charles Lane of the Post wrote, that this could lead fairly easily to denial of care based on cost concerns.

In short, our president is a horrendous liar. Moreover, my wife says, from some personal knowledge, that some of his claims "are despicable in and of themselves."

I have trouble even listening to this self-important charlatan.

He said many of those who argue against his plan are "cynical and irresponsible." Call me cynical and irresponsible, then. Proudly so. Because what he says is black is white. What he says is white is black. And what he says is cynical and irresponsible is idealistic and thoughtfully responsible.

Hey. You leave Jim Traficant out of this. Traficant is an honest old fashioned crook. Obama is a crook who masks his thievery in the form of policy. I'll take the former over the latter any day.

Obama could sit up there in front of his sycophants and say "I Barak Obama, am invisible, you can not see me." And his sloberring disciples will cry out, "Where did the messiah go? We can't see him."

Obama has no shame. He is a liar, a fraud, and a huxter. He can't address one single issue brought up by opponents of the health care reform bill (whatever it's called now) with anything thatn saying "there are those that say X but it's just not true." WHERE'S THE BEEF!!! He can't offer one bit of evidence to support his wild claims because his claims are absolutely false. The plan won't cover illegals? Really??? Where does it prevent illegals? The plan won't spend federal dollars on abortion??? Reaaly, just what is "reproductive health for women?"

What a bunch of bulldung. This man is dangerous and disgusting.

Stan, are you saying the Emperor has no clothes?

Marxist-Leninists like Obama are born liars and snakes.
They have to be, for to bamboozle the populace, they cannot just come out and state they want to enslave the citizenry - which, of course is their goal.

So , they have to lie and lie and lie. And when they are done lying, they lie some more.

Welcome to the world of Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky.

Barry gives liars a bad name. If he is a huxter, he is very bad at it. He is like a drug addict liar and the media is his enabler with few exceptions. he can't stop which is why he so hates those few who call him out.
If the story of every paper in not a complete analysis of is Barry a liar or not, you will be able to easily confirm to any who still might doubt that the media is in the tank and deserving of the name Pravda.

I agree that he is a liar, but just as important, he is utterly illiterate on the topics of both business and economics. That, as much as anything, is why he can, with a straight face equate overhead with profits. He is just plain clueless--and doesn't know it.

Our course is clear. What do all of us do to replace every politician locally, statewide and nationally who is for Big Government and wholies to the people.
The 'we will call you out' statement was that of a neighborhood bully. It is time to "Cowboy Up"!

Pete| 9.10.09 @ 9:41AM

When the media is in your pocket, you can lie with impunity...we've seen it over and over again with these clowns. It is Democratic tactic #1. Repeat the lie, nay insist on the lie, and hope that it eventually becomes accepted as fact as people get so used to hearing it.

Oldefarte| 9.10.09 @ 12:28PM

Of course he a prevaracator, but he was that pre 11/4/08 and not enough voters realized it!!!!!

Liberty Forever Gramma| 9.11.09 @ 1:43PM

The Great Fabricator-in-Chief , with the $$$ that owns him, so mesmerizes his Media and cannibalistic ACORNite masses that We The People don't matter for more than casual scorning--as long as the $$$ flows and WE haven't yet "Cowboyed Up"...hmmmm, what comes 1st???
