Energy: In his very first TV ad of the 2012 campaign, the president is feeding the public false information about America's dependence on foreign fuels. His twisted statistics actually celebrate the Obama recession.
The Obama re-election campaign is already shaping up as the most deceitful in American electoral history. "For the first time in 13 years our dependence on foreign oil is below 50%," the commercial declares, accompanied by goose-bumpy music.
Major economic downturns, in fact, unfailingly produce declines in oil imports. And so do higher gas prices which went from an average of less than $2 a gallon at the time Obama took office to nearly $4 in the middle of last year and remain well above $3 today.
How could gasoline demand not drop with so many people out of work, businesses dying and jittery investors sitting on a trillion dollars?
Obama's ad dishonestly suggests he's been engineering an alternative energy economic renaissance in America. As hard-hatted workers are shown assembling solar panels, the ad says, "America's clean energy industry? 2.7 million jobs and expanding rapidly."
It's saying Obama created or "saved" 2.7 million new clean energy jobs, right? Uh-uh. Turns out that the Brookings Institution report that the ad cites as its source on the 2.7 million was referring to already-existing green jobs.

“the president is feeding the public false information about America’s dependence on foreign fuels”
The pos poser is fuel of LIES—and not just about the energy situation.
If you contest it you’re a racist.
Obama is such an accomplished liar,,,this isn’t news. News would be if he released a campaign spot that was actually truthful. I think pigs will be flying in a frozen-over hell before that happens. What can I say? I’m a skeptic.
Obama and his flying monkeys are a real crack up. His entire admin is chock full of corrupt, Marxist losers and I can't wait to see them fall.

This comes as no surprise to any of us. This moron is a pathological liar. He’s such a liar that even his teleprompter lies for him.
Accomplished, yes he is, an accomplished liar.
Why is this post not in the political humor category?
Even though early, the Republicans need to get off their backsides and put out ads to refute every lie obama tells. If they wait too long people will believe what obama says.
Ever see those “Man on the street” segments on TV, just goes to show you how intellectual the voters really are....../S
Why do we use terms like "fibs" or say that someone is being "disingenuous"? These are Lies. With a capital "L."
Ob-la-di Ob-a-ma, lies go on, brah!
Lala, how the lies go on.

Two large EMPTY buildings.
Its called propaganda.
Just talking about Joe Wilson shouting “you lie” at Obama during the SOTU with someone tonight (since SOTU coming up soon). At the time, I think a lot of people were shocked, but obviously Joe was right on target with his comments ... I think Obozo is a bigger liar than Clinton & that’s sayin’ something.
He is 1/2 white - and by the way, I do not like the white half either.
