In the famous 1997 movie comedy "Liar Liar," actor Jim Carrey plays a lawyer who, as a result of his young son's birthday wish being magically fulfilled, cannot tell a lie -- he can only tell the truth -- for 24 hours. Let's imagine that such a wish forced President Obama to do the same, not for 24 hours, but only during his State of the Union address.
Here is what he said followed by what he would have said if he could only tell the truth.
President Obama (PO): "Six years ago, nearly 180,000 American troops served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, fewer than 15,000 remain. And we salute the courage and sacrifice of every man and woman in this 9/11 Generation who has served to keep us safe."
Honest President Obama (HPO): "While I salute the courage of all the Americans who served there, my withdrawal has rendered their sacrifices meaningless. I made it possible for the Islamic State to rise, to control Mosul and other areas of Iraq, and enabled Iran, the most dangerous country in the world, to fill the void we left."
PO: "The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong."
HPO: "The shadow of my crisis has passed. I was re-elected, my approval ratings are stable, and the 2014 elections that held me back from doing whatever I want to do are done with. As regards America and the world, however, the shadow of crisis is probably darker than at any time since World War II. And what I really meant when I said the State of the Union is strong is that the State of the Government is strong. The government controls more of Americans' lives than ever before."
PO: "Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well?"
HPO: "I know that in every country in the world only a few do spectacularly well. And as long as some human beings have more ability, work harder, and/or have more luck than others that will always be the case. So why did I ask this pointless question? Because it foments class anger."
PO: "Will we allow ourselves to be sorted into factions and turned against one another?"
HPO: "In my six years as president it is we Democrats who have sorted Americans into factions -- blacks against whites, women against men, and the poor and middle class against those who are richer -- more than at any time in American history. How else can a Democrat win an election? If blacks don't resent whites, women don't think they are being suppressed by male sexism, and the 99 percent don't resent the one percent, Democrats will never win an election."
PO: "In two weeks, I will send this Congress a budget filled with ideas that are practical, not partisan."
HPO: "Only Republicans' ideas are partisan, not Democrats'."
PO: "So tonight, I want to focus less on a checklist of proposals, and focus more on the values at stake in the choices before us."
HPO: "Actually almost my entire speech is a checklist of proposals."
PO: "America is number one in oil and gas. [...] And thanks to lower gas prices and higher fuel standards, the typical family this year should save about $750 at the pump."
HPO: "Fracking -- which my administration has tirelessly worked against -- has made all this possible."
PO: "These policies will continue to work as long as politics don't get in the way. [...] And if a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things, I will veto it. It will have earned my veto."
HPO: "When a Republicans pass bills, I call it 'politics.' But when I veto those bills, that's not politics. Once again, thank you, mainstream media!"
PO: "We gave our citizens schools and colleges, infrastructure and the Internet."
HPO: "That's what we on the left believe: Whatever you have the government gave you."
PO: "Too many bright, striving Americans are priced out of the education they need."
HPO: "Of course, the real problem is the extortionist tuition rates charged by four-year colleges -- that we make possible through government-backed student loans."
PO: "Our diplomacy is at work with respect to Iran, where, for the first time in a decade, we've halted the progress of its nuclear program. [...] I will veto any new sanctions bill that threatens to undo this progress."
HPO: "Everyone knows that Iran intends to build a nuclear weapon. Nevertheless, I will do everything I can to postpone confronting Iran and to postpone an Israeli attack on Iran. Then my successor can deal with it."
PO: "No challenge -- no challenge -- poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change."
HPO: "In this case, I actually said something I believe. I really am more preoccupied with what computer models tell us might happen to ocean levels in 50 years than I am with the Islamist threat to the world today."
Any honest leftist is a leftist out of power.
They know this as well.
His whole Presidency is a lie.
I guess if one of his daughters on their next birthday makes the ‘24-hour lie-ban’ wish, maybe it’ll happen.
Yup, the Dorkbama would be a very quiet cretin if he could not lie.
The phrase “honest leftist” is an oxymoron. It’s like “vegetarian cat”.
He would be rendered mute (he’s already been rendered moot ;’)
That photo of Obama says it all, doesn’t it?
Well......yes and no. OPEC, Saudi Arabia specifically, has artificially inflated and lowered the price of oil when it suits them. There will come a day when conflict will make the supply of the ME oil unreliable. It's nice to know we have the resources and extraction capability to sustain ourselves in that scenario. At that point we can use the honest statement above.
If he couldn’t tell a lie, he would have to admit his policies favor the radical left over the majority of Americans.

What if he’s insane enough to believe he speaks the truth?
Some people are confused about Obama being a Muslim:
He told an Islamic dinner - “I am one of you.”
He was on ABC News and referenced - “My Muslim faith.”
He gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.
He wrote that in the event of a conflict -”I will stand with the Muslims.”
He assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that - “I am a Muslim.”
He bowed in submission before the Saudi King.
He sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.
He exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.
He purposefully omitted - “endowed by our Creator” - from his recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.
He mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ’s Sermon On The Mount while repeatedly referring to the ‘HOLY’ Quran.
He traveled the Islamic world denigrating the United States Of America.
He instantly threw the support of his administration behind the building of the Ground Zero Victory mosque overlooking the hallowed crater of the World Trade Center.
He refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, but hastened to host an Islamic prayer breakfast at the WH.
He ordered both Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ BEFORE he would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, he have NEVER requested that the mosques he visited adjust their decor.
He appointed anti-Christian fanatics to his Czar Corps.
He appointed rabid Islamists to Homeland Security.
He said that NASA’s “foremost mission” was an outreach to Muslim communities.
As an Illinois Senator he was the ONLY individual who would speak in favor of infanticide.
He is the first President not to give a Christmas Greeting from the WH, and went so far as to hang photos of Chairman Mao on the WH tree.
He curtailed the military tribunals of all Islamic terrorists.
He refused to condemn the Ft. Hood killer as an Islamic terrorist.
He refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, has submitted Arizona to the UN for investigation of hypothetical human-rights abuses.
When queried in India he refused to acknowledge the true extent of radical global Jihadists, and instead profusely praised Islam in a country that is 82% Hindu and the victim of numerous Islamic terrorists assaults.
He funneled $900 Million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.
He ordered the USPS to honor the MUSLIM holiday with a new commemorative stamp.
He directed our UK Embassy to conduct outreach to help “empower” the British Muslim community.
He embraced the fanatical Muslim Brotherhood in his quest to overthrow the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, who had worked with Israel to fight terror for decades..
He provided funding for mandatory Arabic language, Quaran, and culture studies in schools across our country.
He follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan. Again this year, he wore no wedding ring and no watch during Ramadan.
He departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal WH religious events.
He was quick to support the Muslim Brotherhood to depose Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, formerly America’s strongest ally in North Africa; but, remained muted in your non-response to the Brotherhood slaughter of Egyptian Christians by the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader, Mohammed Morsi.
He quickly invited and then hosted with a hero’s welcome for terrorist Mohammed Morsi in the White House, after he overthrew Mubarek! The Muslim Brotherhood terror group is the parent of terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
He appointed and is never far from his chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett, a Muslim, who is a co-organizer of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. She is Iranian and her parents still live in Iran.
Obama actions tell the truth about him.
There are no honest leftists. They all lie
It sure does
May the next President fire all Obama’s staff top to bottom (including Homeland Security, IRS, Pentagon, etc)...Of course, this is assuming the Republicans don’t shoot themselves by anointing Romney, Bush or Christie!@
If Obama could’nt lie.. THEN...
Boehner and McConnell would tell them for him..
HELLO!..
