Obama Bending the Truth? No - He's lying.

Our President is like a kid who's been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.  The lies come out of his mouth faster than he can talk.  He can lie numerous times in a single sentence.  George Washington was known for speaking the truth.  Obama is the Anti-Washington if ever there was one.  After his oblique reference to Sarah Palin and his explicit use of the word "liar" directed toward her, I see no need to mince words with this President.  Here's just one small section of his boring 800th health care speech, this one was last night to Congress.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: "Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing. Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt. More businesses will close. More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it most. And more will die as a result. We know these things to be true."

"Everyone in this room knows" - That's a lie. The Democrats think they know. The Republicans and Blue Dogs know that the President is full of rhetorical baloney.

"if we do nothing" - That's a lie. This is the straw man argument that's been used ad nauseam. The opposition wants to do something. They want to fix what's broken. They do not want to take a wrecking ball to the part of the system that works. 

"Our deficit will grow." - CBO says Obamacare will grow the defict massively forever. Doing nothing would actually be superior to doing Obamacare with respect to the deficit.

"More families will go bankrupt." - I thought the mortgage relief program would take care of that. Oh yeah, the Administration screwed that up. Let's give them health care to screw up too.

"More businesses will close." - Doing nothing would actually be superior to doing Obamacare with respect to businesses closing. Doing "cap and tax" will cause massive business failures and personal bankruptcies.

"More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it most." - nonsense

"And more will die as a result." - No one gets out of this world alive. Under Obamacare, everyone will be leaving earlier because Obama will recommend that folks "just take a pill."   This reminds me of the nonsense passed off by the left saying that Christopher Reed would walk if we passed unrestricted embryonic stem cell research and human cloning.

"We know these things to be true." - That's a lie. What we know is that Obama doesn't have a clue about economics or health care. He's a cheer leader trying to rally a losing team with a losing policy.

Call your Congressman tomorrow and tell him to deep six this piece of garbage.
