NBC's Lauer: 'Now the President Always Has to Back Up His Words With Proof?'

During a panel discussion on Tuesday's NBC Today about the White House releasing a photo of President Obama skeet shooting to dispel doubt about his claim of doing it "all the time," co-host Matt Lauer worried about the precedent that had been set: "So like releasing the birth certificate a year or so ago, this is the next step, that now the President always has to back up his words with proof?"

Newsflash, Lauer.

It’s because he lies!

Pathological liars are required to provide proof.

Not every President need prove what they say is true. Only those who are mistrusted.

That's right, Pretty Boy.

You might even challenge him from time to time.

It's called "Journalism."

We had a liar in Clinton, now we have someone that just might be able to outdo Clinton but I doubt it. It's just that Clinton was/is better at it.

If Obama's defenders in the press and elsewhere didn't so strongly hide all of his outright lies and distortions, he'd look as absurd as he truly is.

The press must believe he's an affirmative action President (unqualified but entitled.)

When the President is a proven lying sack of sh!t like this one is, yes, he does have to back up his words with proof. And the sworn statements of impartial witnesses.

He didn’t release his birth certificate, Matt. He released a clearly forged virtual COLB on-line.

He still hasn’t released a valid birth certificate.

He has hidden virtually his entire history, and evidently the news media aren’t interested in exploring any of it.

What grades did he get in school and college, Matt? No interest in that?

I know that some people like to reflexively bash Trump, but Trump offered to pay "substantially more" than $5M to victims of hurricane Sandy if Obama would release his college transcripts.

How hard would that be? Who would refuse such a simple request -- especially when it came with such a big payoff? Who?

Obama, that's who.

The man has secrets. Lots of 'em.

Obama has never had to back up anything when it comes to the this MSM.

Hey Lauer you sack of crap, how about doing your job and getting answers to questions, hey here is an easy two.

Obama where were you when the attacks in Libya started and after you heard about it did you go to the situation room or did you go to bed knowing Americans were being attacked?

Lauer, you and your pathetic corrupt turds get lied to every day and all you lot do is repeat the talking points to the ignorant sheep and cult of obama out there.

I'm not so sure it's about the grades. It could be about the titles of the courses he took. Think of the reaction if his transcripts at Occidental and Columbia were loaded with courses like "African Studies 101" and "Economics 210: How to Create a Socialist Economy in America."
