Oh Really???


No lies....



LMAO!






quote:

Former President Barack Obama lamented the state of political rhetoric in the U.S. at a rally in Wisconsin on Friday, saying politicians are “just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying.”
Obama traveled to Wisconsin to campaign for Democratic candidates including Sen. Tammy Baldwin, gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers and others



quote:

“Listen throughout human history, certainly throughout American history, politicians have exaggerated. They make promises that they may try to fulfill, but then it turns out to be harder than they expected,” Obama told the crowd assembled in Milwaukee. “They pump up the things that they did that are good.”
“They downplay the things that they did that aren’t so good. They try to put a positive spin on things,” Obama continued. “But what we have not seen before, in our recent public life, at least, is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying.”

My favorite clip from this evening was Obama telling voters that the caravan is a distraction while the GOP steals from them to give to billionaires through tax breaks.


FACT #1: My Pre-ACA premium = $250, My Post-ACA premium = $550.

FACT #2: My paycheck saw a 1.5% increase after the Tax Cuts Act.

FACT #3: Am not a billionaire.

FACT #4: Only one president stole from me to give to others and it wasn’t the one that currently holds the office.

Like the Democratic Senators (a bunch of them actual attorneys remarkably hmmm) calling Justice Kavanaugh a gang rapist despite the obvious lack of corroborative evidence? For a guy with a bachelor's degree from Columbia and a JD from Harvard, Barry's quite stupid in some ways then again gotta uphold the double standard to ensure the socialists are elected to destroy America and surrender her to our enemies.

Does this guy not comprehend the Pentagon Papers exist? The US government was actively lying to the electorate about its activities in Vietnam and plans to escalate the conflict for decades. Damn his stupidass statements just made a law degree from Harvard today worth the price of a stamp.

Every POTUS in the history of the USA has lied their arse off. To everyone. Including their supporters. Especially their supporters.

Obama and Trump are no exceptions.

The quicker people quit trying to make politicians avatars of morality, the better.

Absolutely. I didn't vote for President Trump to be Honest Abe. I voted for him to bolster the economy, to create jobs and to get conservative representation on the Supreme Court. He's delivered on all 3.

The nonstop pearl clutching, sky screaming and gnashing of teeth from the left and the media is just a nice bit of lagniappe.

Oh, I forgot my favorite lie....the most transparent administration EVER.

This. Especially the last one. Due to the timing of justices dying/retiring, we HAD to have the last election. Absolutely had to have it.

Absolutely agree...and the hysterical part of all of this is that the Democrats created all of this through their own ignorance.

Remember the mantra of how Hillary was "the most qualified candidate ever?" She was infinitely more qualified than Obama was in 2008. She could very likely have beaten McCain then (especially with no Benghazi or server emails baggage) and then, Democrats can claim to have the first woman President. Let Obama get a little more experience and time to get more exposure and then they can bring him along later. In this scenario, he's able to run in 2016, in which case I doubt that President Trump would have entered the race. Even if he had and ultimately opposed Obama, Obama would certainly have gotten more support than Hillary did and likely would have defeated him. Add to that the way that Harry Reid rammed the nuclear option through, clearing the way for the Gorsuch and Kavanaugh nominations.

That's the beauty of all of this...rarely do we ever have to defeat the left or the media...mostly, we just sit back and watch them defeat themselves.
