Accusing someone of lying is a serious matter. Especially when that someone is the President of the United States. Charges of that nature should be leveled based only on absolute proof of a deliberate statement, intentionally made, whose sole purpose is to deceive. Based on this criterion, President Obama is a liar. Demonstrably so. And a disturbing pattern is emerging that allows for the possibility that our president is a serial liar. Consider:
In just the last month, Obama has made several statements that are just not so. Statements made to the American public that were in direct conflict with known facts.
In April, Obama flatly stated that implementing ObamaCare will reduce the deficit by $1 trillion. A day later, the Congressional Budget Office reported that statement was 'incorrect,' pegging the "deficit savings" at $210 billion over 10 years.
In the same April 15 speech, Obama stated that the tax burden on the wealthy is the lowest it has been in 50 years. A simple fact-check proves him wrong. Obama did not correct his false statement and the media didn't either.
In January of 2009, Obama stated that it was no longer necessary to kill Osama bin Laden to win the war against al-Qaeda. On May 1, 2011, after the successful raid by Navy Seals that killed bin Laden, Obama told the nation that he made the capture or killing of Osama bin Laden a "top priority," and had instructed CIA Chief Leon Panetta to make this job number one. Which statement is correct?
Last week, several of my friends asked me if I believed that bin Laden was really dead. The questions weren't surprising, considering the mass of misinformation and conflicting accounts of bin Laden's death now emanating from the White House...

I vote YES !
Whatever serves to advance Communism (or Islam) is a moral good.
Whatever thwarts that advancement is a moral evil.
That’s all you need to know about his motivations.
“Last week, several of my friends asked me if I believed that bin Laden was really dead. The questions weren’t surprising, considering the mass of misinformation and conflicting accounts of bin Laden’s death...”
I was talking to some A’stan/Iraq vets and almost unanimously among them, they agreed that Osama bought it years ago.
To a man, they do not believe the current event was the death of Osama.
What I don’t get is: IF Bush succeeded in killing Osama all those years ago, what on earth could persuade him to forego the gargantuan political capital to be made out of it?
Maybe the Bush administration felt it meant more to appear on the hunt for Osama in order to justify staying in the ME and Astan. Otherwise, LIKE NOW, once Osama is perceived as dead, there is greater popular opinion to bring troops home.
Of course accepting Bushs lie in pretending Osama was alive means we also have to accept Obamas faking that he killed Osama.
In the end though, there is WAY more political capital to be made out of Obama killing Osama and bringing the troops home than there was in Bush failing to kill Osama and remaining deployed.
Yes he is.
Is today Monday?
If you asked him he would answer you "no".
Is Obama a Serial Liar?
Does Joe Isuzu arm wrestle Chuck Norris to the floor?
Rhetorical question?
Yes.
I’m sure that’s how he views it. He blatantly lies and doesn’t care who knows it, then ignores any criticism.
Not just a liar, a gd liar.

You’ve answered your own question. There is a greater opinion to bring troops home now but the difference is the liberal media will take whatever position in regards to this Obama wants them to take, whereas if a Rep where president the liberal media would be clamoring loudly to get the troops home citing the upwelling of public opinion for the move.
Only when he speaks.
“Is Obama a Serial Liar?”
Is he a politician?
Good post!
You almost got it-
He blatantly lies, and he knows he is lying, and the media knows he is lying, but he knows the media will become willing accomplices in disseminating his lies and will never call him on it.
That gives him the brass balls to say whatever he feels like without fear of reprisal.
And that is pretty dangerous for the most pawerful person on the planet.
Does a bear?
