Those on the left never tire of telling those of us
who continue to support President Trump about how he is nothing more than the very
worst kind of a liar. But it’s in so
doing that they seem to forget entirely, or simply choose to remain blissfully ignorant
of, the many lies told, and very purposely so, by he who was so very often referred
to as being our Liar-in-Chief while he was in office, and just a common liar
since leaving office. Let’s face it. It just isn’t that often that someone comes
along who possesses the skill of our last president when it comes to being able
to lie, and very convincingly, about just about anything and everything.
And it was as recently as this past Monday that we once
again saw him in action as we were once again reminded of just how skillful a
liar our ex-president, Obummer, truly is.
Because it was while seeming to chase our current president across the
country in preparation of the coming midterm elections, that our ex-president
was heard to utter what may very well have been the single most pompous,
patronizing, and pretentious lie ever heard from a politician, any politician, regardless
of political party. And yet, he seems to
remain convinced that he can say absolutely anything and be believed and that
there is nothing that can be said which crosses the line.
And so, it was during a recent stopover in Nevada,
the purpose of which, I guess, was to motivate Democrats, that Obummer said,
“Here’s the good news, Nevada. Right now we have a chance to restore some sanity
to our politics. Right now we can tip the balance of power to you, the American
people. Because ultimately there is only one real check on abuses of power.
There is only one real check on bad policy, and that is you and your vote. He said, “And you know, the great thing in
Nevada, you do not have to wait two weeks. You can go ahead and vote right now.
In Nevada, early voting is already underway. You can vote at any early voting
site in your community.”
He added, “If you do not think it is important to
vote, look at what the Republicans have done these past two years. Look at what
they’re saying they’re going to do if you send it back for two more. Here is
one simple fact—this is a fact.” And it
was then that he made that remarkable, and blatantly false, claim, saying, “Unlike
some, I try to state facts. I believe in facts. I believe in a fact-based
reality and a fact-based politics. I don’t believe in just making stuff up.” This rather astonishing statement flies in
the face of everything we know about our ex-president and his rather checkered history
of being able to deal with the truth.
And I must say that perhaps the most remarkable
thing about what it is that he said is the fact that he was able to get through
his entire statement while being able to maintain a straight face. But then that’s really nothing new. And while I may feel it as being unnecessary to
remind folks of Barry’s well-earned reputation as being one who routinely ‘stretches’
the truth, what follows are but a few of the more prominent examples of those
times when Barry looked the American people dead in the eye, and then proceeded
to lie to them in what was really nothing less than an attempt to wreak as much
havoc as possible as he sold (and sells) his bill of goods to America:
1. In what was rated as being the “Lie of the Year”
by left-wing Politifact, Barry said, "If you like your health care plan,
you can keep it.” Politifact noted in 2013, “So this fall, as cancellation
letters were going out to approximately 4 million Americans, the public
realized Obama’s breezy assurances were wrong. Boiling down the complicated
health care law to a soundbite proved treacherous, even for its
promoter-in-chief. Obama and his team made matters worse, suggesting they had
been misunderstood all along.”
2. It was earlier this year in speaking about his
own administration that Obummer actually said: “We didn’t have a scandal that
embarrassed us.” Oh, really? He seemed to have conveniently forgotten about the
IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal, the Fast and Furious Scandal, letting
Hezbollah funnel cocaine into the United States, and secretly wiretapping AP
reporters.
3. Obummer asserted in 2013 vis-à-vis the Benghazi
scandal, “The day after it happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of
terrorism.” Nope, not quite. Obummer
repeatedly described it as “an act of terror,” but never mentioned the word
terrorism, possibly because he didn’t want to damage his 2012 campaign theme
that the U.S. had terrorists beaten. In
fact, the day after the attack in Benghazi, here was his exchange with Steve
Kroft of CBS News in which he studiously avoided calling the Benghazi massacre
an act of terrorism:
Kroft: “Mr. President, this morning you went out of
your way to avoid the use of the word ‘terrorism’ in connection with the Libya
attack.”
Obummer: “Right.”
Kroft: “Do you believe that this was a terrorist
attack?”
Obummer: “Well, it’s too early to know exactly how
this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on
Americans. And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make
sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.”
And it was eight days later that Obummer was asked
this question at Univision town hall: “We have reports that the White House
said today that the attacks in Libya were a terrorist attack. Do you have
information indicating that it was Iran, or al-Qaeda was behind organizing the
protests?”
Barry answered saying, “Well, we’re still doing an
investigation, and there are going to be different circumstances in different
countries. And so I don’t want to speak to something until we have all the
information. What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of
the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they
can also directly harm U.S. interests.”
And five days after that, on ABC’s “The View,"
Obummer was asked, “It was reported that people just went crazy and wild
because of this anti-Muslim movie -- or anti-Muhammad, I guess, movie. But then
I heard Hillary Clinton say that it was an act of terrorism. Is it? What do you
say?” Obummer answered, “We are still
doing an investigation. There is no doubt that the kind of weapons that were
used, the ongoing assault, that it wasn’t just a mob action. Now, we don’t have
all the information yet so we are still gathering.” So yes, Barry believes in facts, all right.
His facts.
I’m sure we all remember how Obummer blamed
everything that went wrong, during his entire eight years in office, on
Bush. And now we’re seeing him trying to
take credit for everything that’s going right under President Trump. And he’s getting lots of help in that
endeavor, from his many remaining allies in both the Democrat Party and the
state-controlled media. I’m confident
that there will come a day when Americans will look back and realize the
greatest mistake we ever made was in electing Barry as president. And I feel just as confident that we will
back at President Trump’s eight years in office as a turning point for this
country.
