Obama's Truth Problems Continue

It seems to be happening with dazzling regularity...Obama promises one thing and delivers another.

Now we have his reversal on public financing. This man has the audacity to speak against private funding for our elections, supports the McCain-Feingold (constitutionally suspect) Campaign Finance restrictions...right up until it becomes politically expedient to tosses it aside.

Typical of Democrats, he is congenitally incapable of telling the truth. He saw the dollar signs in front of his eyes, to the tune of an estimated $300 million in potential contributions from his big money buddies and their bundling corporate friends like George Soros, and his morals, what few he can lay claim to, go right out the window.

Let's see now:

• Obama pledged to "take public financing in the general election if the Republican nominee agreed to do so as well."

A pledge you can believe in?

• Earlier this month, Obama agreed to holding a series of "town-hall" style debates in various venues around the nation.
• Obama has now abandoned that agreement.

A man of his word?

• He denied ever having heard any of Wright's egregious sermons even though he was a member of the church for 23 years and a regular attendee.

The truth?

• He dumped Wright from giving the invocation only hours before he took the stage to announce his candidacy because he believed him to be controversial for comfort.


• He then denounced Wright's statements after videos of his fiery, anti-American speeches became public, declaring that Wrights Afro-centric, black separatist statements, "in no way reflect my attitudes and directly contradict my profound love for this country."

Are we to believe this from the same man who wrongly claimed that there are more young black males in our prison than in our colleges.

• He described Pastor Wright as being "like an old uncle who sometimes will say things that I don't agree with," but that he would "not repudiate the man...who I have known for 17 years. He helped bring me to Jesus and helped bring me to church."

Telling the truth?

• He then severed Pastor Wright's involvement with his campaign's African American Religious Leadership Committee.


• Less than a month later, he unceremoniously dumped the "good" Reverend Wright.

A truthful man, or a calculating, lying, African-American Democrat trying to have it both ways?

Want more? How about this?

• Obama stated in no uncertain terms, during one of the Democrat Party debates, that he would meet with the leaders of Iran, Cuba, Syria, Venezuela, and North Korea, in the first year of his administration, without preconditions.
• Obama has now "clarified" that position (as he has so very, very many), saying that those meeting would only occur "if we had done sufficient preparations for that meeting."

A man of consistent, strong character?

Now we have Obama lying again, this time by omission, saying that he would agree to more drilling if it would lower the price of gasoline for people this summer...a claim that no one has ever made.

It is his way of saying that he favors higher gasoline prices as a means of restricting our use of our automobiles. He as much as admitted this when he slipped up the other day and said "the adjustment [in gasoline prices] "came too rapidly."

He, like all Liberals see it as his duty to save us from ourselves by imposing restrictions on freedoms.

Conservation by starvation...what a novel concept.

His arguments on his opposition to drilling are as dishonest as he is. Democrats are playing a shell game (no pun intended) on drilling for new oil. They claim that the "Big Oil Companies" already have over 5000 leases in their possession but they aren't drilling on them, so why should they be given more?

What is not being said is that those leases have been tested and will not produce enough oil and gas to make them worthwhile exploiting. The mere existence of leases does not mean that they have oil and gas beneath them, it only means that the oil companies have the right to drill on them should they turn out to be viable.

About 80% of the leases held by oil companies are being exploited, but many are never going to be productive. The arguments of the Democrats and Obama are intellectually dishonest.

Obama repeats the same old line we've been hearing for well over a decade (a very interesting length of time as you will see) about drilling in ANWR and offshore Florida and California that, paraphrasing now, "even if we began drilling today, Americans would not see any relief from the production at ANWR for (you guessed it) 10 years...a decade.

So like doesn't that mean that if Democrats had approved exploration and exploitation of the ANWR oil fields when it was first suggested and slapped down by congress, we would be completely free of the need to import oil from Saudi Arabia?

These Obamalies are becoming awfully commonplace now aren't they.

A truthful, honest broker who offers hope for America, or a slick shyster lawyer/politician scamming the country with some slick patter and an empty suit?

I think maybe the latter. Seems "A change you can believe in," has become "the same old Democrat socialist with a new face."

Obama is honest, no really, don't make me laugh. My sides are already splitting from the gullibility of so many of his empty headed supporters.

P.T. Barnum said it first, "There's a sucker born every minute." Seems Obama has hit the mother lode.

Puck:

"Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand,
And the youth,
mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!"

-Shakespeare
A Midsummer Nights Dream Act 3, scene 2, 110–115

...and the Democrats playing mischievous (some might say malevolent), destructive Puck to the Republican's Oberon.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!
