0bama is a consummate liar; he sets a new standard for lying, even among politicians. I wouldn’t believe him if he told me the sun was hot.
This is one of his SOPs. Caterpillar says it will save them money (oops, no). This idea came from the GOP (oops, no). Heritage originated this concept (oops, no).
I have a feeling he’s been doing this since he was a young child. Most of his life he’s been surrounded by people so busy fawning over him that it’s probably been rare that anyone has told him to cut it out.
He is likely everything you say, but someone on his staff feeds him this stuff. You know he doesn’t take the time to read the bill or any part of it. He gets briefings and talking points from his staff. He has a Communications Director, his Former Campaign Manager and those Chicago crooks Axelrod, Rahm and Jarrett surrounding him and they will say anything anytime to make their point.
You pretty much covered what I was about to write. But in addition, I'd make sure to keep my hand on my wallet while I was in his presence as he was lying to me as well.
