Obama claims politicians lie just before Wilson says Obama lies
Obama speech transcript, on healthcare before Congress ^ | 9 September 2009 | Obama speech on healthcare to Congress

Posted on 09/16/2009 6:31:59 PM PDT by mbarker12474

from Obama's address to a joint session of Congress on healthcare (CNN transcript):

Obama: .... Some of people's concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but by prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens.

Now, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie plain and simple.

Now...

Now, there are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms -- the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.

(UNKNOWN): That's a lie.

I actually wondered today why no one is making the point that Obama called other people liars. Why is ok for him to stand in front of Congress and do that but he’s at no risk of anyone doing it back?

Yeah... what's new... He said Palin (specifically via ‘death panels’) and all his critics lied. Plain and simple... right before Joe's outburst... Are we surprised at the hypocrisy?

Obama asked to be invited to come and speak to the nation from a joint meeting of both houses of Congress.

Having been a Senator he knows the rules about calling folks liars from the Well of the House ~ but he did it anyway.

He was a very discourteous guest ~ typical of the Leftwingtards these days ~ just very trashy.

Then you have these other Leftwingtards kvetching about someone else breaking the rules.

Best they get to Obama since he broke the rules first and was very boorish about it.

BTW, in our first thread about this speech last Wednesday I posted the information that Obama had justed said other people told lies BEFORE Wilson noted that Obama tells lies.

As far as I know every single reference to this sequence of events is after mine

Of course Obama can call you a liar. All typical white persons are liars in his mind, you can’t sit in a church with a preacher that preached anti-white and anti-Americanism for 20 years and not have abosrbed something.

Wilson should have responded “I WILL NOT HAVE YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE AND LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH TO ME AND ALL MY FELLOW MEMBERS!”

Yes, I noticed that Obama had call his opponents a bunch of liars just before Wilson called him one. Quite ironic.

Sure. But Obama also called other prominet politicians liars. These were people sitting in the room.
