The Obama administration. They lie with reckless abandon. But Obama flashes his trademark smile and no one cares, especially the media.

You won’t hear about the lying on ABC, CBS or NBC. Or read it in The Washington Post or New York Times either. Last year, the news media threw considerable influence behind President Pinocchio. Now journalism is in such financial distress, they’d be hard-pressed to fact check his cereal box. Besides it’s a sin of Washington etiquette to call a deliberate political misstatements “lies.” Only the uncouth call them actual lies.

We are one month in to a marathon game of liar’s poker and the American public is playing the losing hand. It’s not as if the Obama folks are stupid. They aren’t. They aren’t even compulsive or pathological. They are simply of a breed apart from ordinary humans — they’re politicians.

And it’s funny because that was the one thing they claimed they weren’t. The one big “change” from previous Washington creatures. But it’s no change at all. They lie about Iraq. They lie about guns. They lie about the economy. They lie about the size of government. Then they lie about lying.

Welcome to the Pinocchio administration : Obama is the only one pulling strings on the media. The rest of us in the audience watch fascinated.

Remember the Barack Obama who proposed pulling our troops out of Iraq by the end of 2008? “The days of our open-ended commitment must come to a close,” he told the Senate, according to a Jan. 31, 2007, Washington Post article. Now, according to the Associated Press, the open-ended commitment has been replaced with “as many as 50,000 troops to remain behind to train Iraqi forces and protect U.S. interests.” Even anti-war lefties think he lied. They are right –- for once.

Remember that guy Obama who supported gun rights? He’s just a faint memory. A year ago, in an interview with Politico, Obama was reminded that supported gun ownership:

“You said recently, ‘I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.’ But you support the D.C. handgun ban, and you’ve said that it’s constitutional. How do you reconcile those two positions?”

Even then he hemmed and hawed, concluding:

“We can have a reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respects the Second Amendment and people’s traditions.”

“Reasonable, thoughtful” are words unknown to Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder already has tried to link the Mexican narco-wars to U.S. gun sales and go after supposed “assault weapons.”

Obama’s record on government and the economy is actually worse. He and his surrogates keep maintaining that his budget won’t hurt the pockets of 95 percent of Americans who will get a tax cut.

They lie. The lead editorial in the Feb. 27 Wall Street Journal showed by just how much. Using 2006 tax records, The Wall Street Journal showed how a tax hike won’t begin to pay the 2010 budget of the $4 trillion. Even if the government were to confiscate (aka steal) every penny made by those who earn $250,000 and above, it would only meet one-third of the goal.

To pay for that whole $4 trillion budget, the government would have to pilfer “every taxable ‘dime’ of everyone earning more than $75,000.” That would just barely meet the goal, but those are 2006 numbers when the economy was good. In 2010, we’d need to go even lower.

A tax cut for 95 percent? Not hardly. The government will give money with one hand and take it back and loads more with the other –- lying to us the whole time.

WHAT A CLOWN.................

Is that what your cats are telling you?

I make a prediction. The Politicians are going to vote themselves another hefty raise and bonuses soon.

Obama is a good speaker i will grant him that and he can pronounce nuclear proliferation which in my mind puts him miles ahead of the last crooked idiot we had in office,but i will give him time before i pass any kind of judgement,i think he has alot of good ideas and he wants to get this country heading in a direction it should have sought years ago,especially about green energy,and his attempts to get us out of the money wasting war,but i think he also sees where the government waste alot of tax dollars,especially when it comes to contractor overrides ..i say give him time and we will see..i think he has some good ideas ...jmo

personally i think he sees where alot of money is goingthat bis unnecessary..i.e the war in iraq,government wasting money with contractors by just awarding jobs to companies rather than closed bids,using green energy instead of relying on the old jurrasic methods of energy..no one said that things wont get worse before they get better as they often do ..but i'm at least going to give the guy more than a month before i burn him at the stake..
lets face it does anyone really have a sure fired formula for getting us out of this situation that was brought on by our past elected officials...


think2deep..dont care too much about news anchors or radio host i base my thoughts on what i think about the man and his ideas as i listen to him ..could care less about the drama brought on by the media

but this is a wait and see situation ..after all i can remember having heated discussions with people who thought bush was going to be a great president....i never liked him from the start just a gut feeling..and what do you know eight years later and i still dont like bush..glad he's gone
