Carney sneers when he is about to lie!”>

The Obama approval ratings are apparently bad enough that they’re going with the, “He’s not a liar, he’s just stupid” defense.
At an AEI event on the secrets of the State of the Union speech, former President Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett acknowledged that the “keep your health care plan” pledge didn’t turn out to be as accurate as the administration planned.
That’s PR speak for, “It was a complete and total lie from beginning to end.” How accurate did the administration hope that a claim that had no basis in fact would be on a scale from one to minus zero?

Elite liberals have no idea how insulting they are to citizens. They don't know how much we're starting to hate them...
As Confucious say: " 'Tis far better to admit to being a blithering idiot than to own up to impeachable offenses---
<><> using presidential power to throw millions of Americans off health insurance plans,
<><> leaving very ill Americans without any access to needed care,
<><> throwing $billions at a useless web site and state exchanges,
<><> hiring felons and criminals as O/Care navigators,
<><> bailing out insurers left high and dry w/ false promises.
Again, this shows why liberals should NEVER, EVER get even close to having political power-—they’re too stupid to know how to use it.
I am convinced history will chronicle ObamCare as a blunder of Ceausescuian proportions.
“He’s not a liar, he’s just stupid”
Another reason he should not be President.

Jon Lovett is the Co-Creator and Head Writer of the NBC sitcom, “1600 Penn”. Prior to this, Jon spent three years as a speechwriter for President Barack Obama during a dynamic and tumultuous time in our history, allowing for a unique perspective on politics, humor, communications, and the absurd way things really work in our nation’s capital.
During his tenure at the White House, Jon drafted speeches on a complete range of public policy issues. He also helped craft the jokes and materials used by the President at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, where the President pokes fun at Washington, the press, and himself. Before serving in the White House, Jon was chief speechwriter to then-Senator Hillary Clinton, working both on her presidential campaign and in her Senate office. But his career in politics really began when at nine years old he played the part of Ross Perot in a 1992 mock debate at Walt Whitman Elementary School on Long Island, performing ably despite the inherent strictures of the two party system.
Jon is a 2004 graduate of Williams College. He earned a degree in math, as one of few math majors who could both do Riemannian geometry and make eye contact with women, co-authoring a peer-reviewed paper in American Mathematical Monthly.
After college but before entering politics, he spent time doing standup at comedy clubs around New York. His amateur comedy career was vindicated years later when he beat Grover Norquist in a standup competition and was named “Washington’s Funniest Celebrity,” which tells you all you need to know about what passes for a celebrity in Washington.

It is clear what the strategy is: "It's the teleprompter's fault!!!"
You have to admit however that Obama claiming stupidity has inherent plausibility.
Former Obama speechwriter deletes late-night tweets about disastrous Obamacare website [screenshot]
If he knew he was lying (WHICH HE DID) it is entirely consistent with his acting as an evil dictator now in the aftermath of it.
If he was just plain dumb and didn’t know he was lying, it’s entirely inconsistent with his acting as an evil dictator now in the aftermath.
In the case of the IRS you have to start the investigation and pressure the underlings. In Obamacare, the fraud came directly from his lips and on numerous occasions. You don’t have to prove every allegation to start the process.
In the IRS you have the underlings making numerous trips to the WH (many times more than other cabinet members) and OB not doing anything about the abuses. That’s enough to start an investigation of allegations.
When you have this kind of corruption it’s similar to organized crime. Youy get a capo or LT or two to roll and you get the don. If they don’t roll, they do the time. Lois Lerner should already be in prison and Holder should at least be on the street.
Obamacare is not that complicated. You have Obama’s own testimony already on the public record. You have the web site company and their relationship to Michelle. You have Obama back tracking and hemming and hawing.
This is the only way to stop the corruption on either side of the aisle. Notice we are only 37 years from watergate and our elected officials act like they are bulletproof.
I don’t care if the senate will remove him, let’s investigate and go through the process and let the senate tell the public why they defend the guy.
In the case of the Benghazi cover-up, we now have information that says he knew on the night of the attack it was a terrorist attack. His sending Rice out and promoting her and his own words prove the cover-up.
The allegations on Benghazi are:
Failure to adequately protect a counsulate and ambassador and staff.
Not sending assistance after the attack started (reportedly the president had to authorize assistance initiating from outside Lybia).
Fabricating and stating a lie to cover up the type of attack.
Boehner is now complicit in the cover-up because of the failure to complete an investigation and take action, in all of the scandals.
You are 100% correct
Well ... you're half right.
In DC bipartisan committees and investigations are designed to spread the blame and cover people...they will deep only so deep as not to uncover the dirt on their own members...
Remember most of these people are actually friends behind closed doors...
The hierarchy of a Congressman are
1. Get themselves re-elected.
2. Get the other members re-elected.
3. Keep their mistress a secret
4.Take care of their major donors
5. Their dog
6. Their constituent (voter)
This is the only way to stop the corruption on either side of the aisle.
This is the only way ...
I don't know if you're old enough to remember the Waco massacre by Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Janet Reno...
Clear violation of our constitutional rights...tons of actual evidence...that should have put people in prison for many years...
Not a single person went to jail or even fined...
Danforth (R) whitewashed it...
Believable, in that there are precious few things beyond a teleprompter for which Old-57-States-Stupid understands the workings.
It's such a relief.
I am 67 and I long for justice for political corruption. The higher the level the stronger the yearning.
I'm 55 and think you and I will be long gone before we see those corrupt evil bastards get their just due...
