Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Senator Joe Wilson from S.C. took quite a lot of criticism for stating the obvious in a televised address by Obama, and was scolded for the manner in which he interrupted the speech with a shouted "YOU LIE!" Many news pundits, and certainly a gaggle of liberals, loved taking him to task over his bad manners, but there wasn't a lot of emphasis placed on the SUBSTANCE of what Senator Wilson said.......Obama has lied and contiues to lie. I, for one, can certainly understand the frustration that forced that reaction and I'm glad to see many, many more Americans awakening to the realization that they (I say "they" because I knew better than to vote for this candidate) were sold a bill of goods by a habitual liar that will do and say whatever needs to be said to accomplish his goals and agenda.

Quoting candidate Obama.....To achieve health care reform, "I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We'll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies -- they'll get a seat at the table, they just won't be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies. And so, that approach, I think is what is going to allow people to stay involved in this process."

"Will maintain fiscal responsibility and prevent any increase in the deficit by offsetting cuts and revenue sources in other parts of the government (to pay for a national service plan that will cost about $3.5 billion per year when it is fully implemented). This plan will be paid for in part by cancelling tax provisions that would otherwise help multinational corporations pay less in U.S. taxes starting in 2008 by reallocating tax deductions for interest expenses between income earned in the U.S. and income earned abroad. The rest of the plan will be funded using a small portion of the savings associated with ending the war in Iraq."

I think the saddest part of this administration is that this president still insists he is doing a better job than the previous one. Denial is his strongest ally. Even his promise to heal the country and work together with all parties to achieve compromise never got off the ground. Each day that he is in office is another day that the American people are angered, offended, cheated, lied to, or betrayed. There has not been one day that has come and gone with no political fiasco or embarrasment. While it is reported that his right to hold office is being legally examined due to the millions of dollars his attorneys have spent avoiding the release of his proper birth certificate and proof of citizenship, he stirs the pot of discontent, division, and racism while resorting to name calling when he's confronted with opposition.

Whether one agrees with an officeholder's political agenda or not.........lying is NOT what we expect or respect in our government officials and from our Commander in Chief.
"A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish." Prov. 19:9
Or.....as we learned to say as children....."Liar, Liar, pants on fire"!
