Lying About Lies: Why Credibility Matters to Obama (Has Hussein run out?)
National Journal ^ | 11/05/13 | Ron Fournier

It might not seem possible that President Obama could do more harm to his credibility and the public's faith in government than misleading Americans about health insurance reform. But he can. The president is now misleading the public about his deception.

In a speech Monday night to his political team, Obama said: "Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn't changed since the law passed."

No, no, no, no, no--that's not what the Obama administration said. What it said was:

Watch the video of Obama reinventing history with the "what-we-said-was" construction. Notice how he is looking at notes. Remarkably, this was not an off-the-cuff remark; it was written, reviewed, and approved by senior White House officials, then recited by the president. An orchestrated deceit.

Dear Reader at it again.

Would like to see Martin Short as Barack Obama/Nathan Thurm denying everything.

It just doesn’t matter to the MSM or the voters of Obama. He can lie until the cows come home and they wouldn’t care.

When your opponent is digging his own grave, stay out of the way.

Better yet, sell him shovels. ;)

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

I disagree with the author. No president has been worse than “The Won”.

Rush talked about this today, so hopefully it will get a wider read than it would have otherwise.

Actually the author thinks that what Obama did was no big deal:

On history's scale of deception, this one leaves a light footprint. Worse lies have been told by worse presidents, leading to more severe consequences, and you could argue that withholding a caveat is more a sin of omission.

I'd love to know who this tool thinks told a worse lie. All the ones I can think of led to personal failures like resignation, impeachment or ending up as a one term President. I can't think of anyone who has done so much damage to so many people.

Clinton may end up doing more damage by giving the chicoms our nuke weapons and missile guidance tech.

Carter by putting jihad on steroids.

But in the here and now, commander zero, hands down.
