The Great Communicator and Lawyer from Illinois has once again given us a “teachable moment” as he shredded one of the greatest communications from any lawyer from Illinois.
Because one has to be a deliberate idiot to ignore God when one works as president of the United States of America. The people note your ignorance in that instance and so does God.
As part of documentary filmmaker Ken Burns’ effort to commemorate Lincoln’s deliverance of the Gettysburg Address, Burns thoughtfully included the current president of the United States. In this effort Obama read the address on camera, says the White House, from a copy provided by Burns.
As widely reported, Obama choose to leave out the words “under God” in his recitation of the speech.
The White House has denied that the omission was intentional.
"He read the version of the address that Ken Burns provided," said White House Press Jester Jay Carney.
Yet like all things Obama, the facts and the reality conflict.
While he may have been provided a copy of the address that omitted the words “under God,” the omission presents us with the same conundrum that we always find with this president.
By his misstep, denials and evasions we are once again forced to ask ourselves: Is this dude a liar or is he really as stupid as he seems?
I’m inclined to believe that he’s booth stupid and a liar.
But I’m also beginning to believe that he’s more than just stupid and more than just a liar; that in fact, he’s the worst of all possible things: a stupid liar.
And there’s nothing more of a time-waster than a stupid liar.
I know, you know, AND they know that he’s lying. But yet the whole machinery of media, government and the Libocracy will turn its attention to propping up the stupid lie, when it would be better served trying to fix the much more important lies they promised to fix.
Because America just doesn’t have the time now to waste on more stupidity from the only president who thinks he’s starring on reality TV.
The economic growth that we don’t have today, we can NEVER add back.
Ever.
Adding one percent per annum to GDP over the last four years would add a trillion dollars to economic growth over the next ten years if historical growth rates for GDP reemerge. Every day that politicians ignore this, we harm our economy. This has real money consequences for our government, taxes, investment, and deficit... but mostly it holds consequences for taxpayers.
Here are the facts: Obama is a professed fan of Lincoln.
Obama spent a little bit of time in Lincoln’s beloved city Springfield, a city that Lincoln was a deliberate founder of and advocate for as capital of Illinois.
Obama, like Lincoln, was a legislator in Springfield. Obama himself encourages people to compare him to Lincoln:
“The issue here is not going to be a list of accomplishments,” Obama told NBC’s David Gregory as reported by the Blaze. “I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president, with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln.”
As Carl Cannon explained on Real Clear Politics: “Not to put too fine a point on it, but the record shows that Barack Obama consciously emulates Lincoln, quotes Lincoln, misquotes Lincoln, and most definitely compares himself to Lincoln -- and that he did so even before he used Lincoln’s bible to take the oath of office as the 44th president of the United States.”
Cannon then goes on to cite half a dozen examples. They are worth reading.
The point being that Obama expects us to sit here and take him at his word that he only just “read the version of the address that Ken Burns provided” him. That would mean either that he thinks we’re stupid and that we’ll accept the omission of "under God" as accidental or he’s stupid because the omission was accidental.
Because, the “under God” version of the speech is the only one that was actually read at Gettysburg.
Any casual fan of Lincoln knows this. Obama should know this since he seeks the Lincoln comparisons. If Obama really wants to be compared to Lincoln, then, in the Gettysburg Address test at least, he has failed.
I think he knows it.
That knowledge makes him both stupid and a liar.
That he thinks that WE don’t know it makes him a stupid liar.
And America has no time for that.
Under God.
He is a evil liar, not stupid, evil, very, very evil.
Crypto-Marxist.
Correct. No exceptions.
“O” blunders his way from one unconscionabe disaster to the next....
Out here in the real world, I’d have lost my job LONG ago if I pulled a single stunt like this.
Aren’t we all just a little tired of this?
Anyone who lies and casually contracticts themselves as much as Obama does has serious underlying psychological problems. He lies and dissembles with such ease. That is just not normal.
On top of this “personal issue”, he’s clearly a narcissist. This diagnosis has been stated many times by well known commentator and psychiatrist Dr. Charles Krauthammer.
“(this is pure hypothesis, would need to be proven or disproven)”

I do not know who or what came first.
I read many reports on the internet about Obama’s youth.
I do know that Ayers was significant in Obama’s later life, supposedly helping to finance the Obama’s first home, across the street from Ayers. If true, that is quite a coincidence that the Pentagon bomber happened to be Obama’s friend and neighbor.
God only knows what the facts are, and he is not talking.
Out here in the real world, I’d have lost my job LONG ago if I pulled a single stunt like this.
***********
Out here, excuses and blaming don’t cut it. Only production and results matter. Adn your ability to keep a commitment.
Summed-up, nicely. The big question is *who* is really pulling the strings behind all of this Marxist/fascist/racist/commie/socialist assault on our Constitutional Republic to turn it into socialist hellhole, at this point in history. The usual Soros character comes to mind, but there are are far more sinister forces at work - CFR, Bilderbergers etc etc come to mind, too - I believe. This has been quietly underway for the past 60-70yrs in education, unions and gov’t, and these 8 hell-filled years are now ‘trigger time’ for “them” to act. So many possibilities... maybe I need some coffee?
I think the Harvard Law man ,now pretending to be President -— ought understand the value of attribution of the source—instead he prefers the executive privilege of plausible deniability. As President he should have had the deferred right to read whatever version of the address he desired read. And I find it interesting President Lincoln —as he noted in his Address was a Wartime President. We were in the midst of a bloody Civil War of Northern Aggression.and he was not entirely expected to come. But when the event remembering that moment came this President selected to be our first Black(half black but why quibble over details)President was too busy fixing a very bad even unconstitutional law that the enemy had to pass in order for us to see what was in it.this President was too busy playing cards or whatever it does when the ObamaCare Internet site is so broken beyond repair it ought not have ever been put up —yet appears it was to please the despot who dreams of being President—or Savior.As a man who claims he knows Lincoln he ought remember it was in Springfield that Mr.Lincoln aid America must live through all time a nation of Free men ,or die by suicide. Seems when America trusted the Democratic Party —and their Useful Idiots in the Press —and the “progressives “ of all political Parties seems we “chose suicide” eh?
Of course, if I was HIM, I’d never have qualified even for the job I have...
HE couldn’t DO my job? PERIOD!!
I don’t think he could do ANY job. He doesn’t seem to be capable of sustained focus or managing the execution of any task at all. He thinks that speechifying and campaigning are governing. They are not.
I think the word “evil” should be part of the description.
Right....also, his smugness gives me the impression that he doesn’t feel HE has to work....
He doesn’t have the least idea what WORK is...I am sure.
This bounder slid through every qualifier and leap frogged every single pre requesite in his ‘education’ (such as it is) and in his ‘professional’ life.
Records which would be positievly demanded of anyone ELSE to verify and document personal effort and achievmemt are not even available or accessable where “O” is concerned.
He has NO credibility, because of this!!
“The big question is *who* is really pulling the strings”

Who, or what? I do not know, but it is anti-American, and they obviously have mystic powers that allow a simple illegal immigrant Kenyan to become POTUS.
Clown Prince nobama is a sociopathic narcissist. Liars lie. That’s what they do.
Obamma mamba jamma lenin khomeini may be stupid and a liar but he also calculating and an enemy of the United States..we have a runaway executive who is sucking up power daily to himself and the unaccountable czars..while stripping it from the people.
It is no longer possible for me to play the stupid or liar aspect, he probably is both, but the underlying agenda is our collapse, and we are on the edge.
God enlighten us to your ways and give us strength to do your will..do not allow the face of freedom to vanish from the earth to be replaced by a delusional psychopathic oligarchy..in Jesus name
He is a gangster.
Does it really matter if he is a lying gangster?
islamist liar
Obama avoids the mention or association with God at any cost. Really, we should not be too surprised. Jehovah God is not his true god, as that is Allah. We have his own admission to that. Allah is not God, he is a moon god. I’m neither offended or not offended. Personally, I’m more offended when he tries to portray himself as one of us. Such as a letter sent to his voters saying that he truly is a Christian, but the media is lying about him....it’s so tough for him! (sob! sob!) Isn’t that such a sad story! This was sent to my sister, a so-called disabled benefit obtainer for her whole life, after she couldn’t deal with the divorce from her first husband. Good grief! 35 years on disability! What a scam! Recently married another profiteer, as well. God bless them both. There really are people who believe this guy and his shams.
When a narcissistic world starts falling apart look out!
