Obama's Pants on Fire!

[PoliticalChic]

An illustration of the outright lies of a community organizer, and the support he receives from the Leftist press.



1. "On Tuesday, in a primetime address to the nation on Syria, President Barack Obama implied that President George W. Bush sidelined Congress during his presidency from "critical decisions about when we use force."

"I believe our democracy is stronger when the president acts with the support of Congress, and I believe that America acts more effectively abroad when we stand together," Obama said on Tuesday. "This is especially true after a decade that put more and more war-making power in the hands of the president, and more and more burdens on the shoulders of our troops, while sidelining the people's representatives from the critical decisions about when we use force."

In 2001, days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Congress approved the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, which gave then-President Bush the authorization to strike those who were responsible for the attacks or nations that harbored terrorists like Afghanistan. In October of 2002, Congress passed a resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq if Saddam Hussein failed to meet various conditions.

However, Obama won his party's nomination for president in 2008 largely because he was able to point to Hillary Clinton's vote as a U.S. Senator to authorize military action in Iraq.

Then-Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) voted for that Iraq resolution and refused to apologize for her vote during the 2008 primary, allowing Obama to attract the liberal anti-war voters who were adamantly against the Iraq war...."
Obama Claims Bush Sidestepped Congress When Going to War


Pretty clear?

History: Bush went to Congress.

Obama: outright distortion of history.

Two other examples come to mind:
a. In the prescient novel, "1984," George Orwell's sort-of hero, Winston Smith, has the job "to overwrite the truth, to replace the history of what happened with a revised version. Winston enjoys his work and is good at it, yet at the same time he worries about the rewriting of history, and wants to know 'what really happened'." Winston Smith's role in 1984

b. Victor Kravcheko, the first defector, revealed that the Communists did in reality what Smith did in the novel. "Shamelessly, without so much as an explanation, it revised half a century of Russian history. I don't mean simply that it falsified some facts or gave a new interpretation of events. I mean that it deliberately stood history on its head, expunging events and inventing facts. It twisted the recent past--a past still fresh in millions of memories--into new and bizarre shapes, to conform with the version of affairs presented by the blood-purge trials and the accompanying propaganda...

2. "I do not listen to the man. as he infuriates me, and I know he has lied so many times it is not worth listening to him. I hate what he is doing to us and this country. I read and hearthe pundits afterwards. Obama sidestepped Congress in Libya. Bush did not. Of course the guy lies and the main media will not call him out. http://forums.philly.com/discussion...ss/kr-eagles/166888.1?redirCnt=1&nav=messages





Here we go:

3. " The Hill reported that the decision to seek congressional approval “breaks from precedent” and “represented a departure from the policies of several predecessors,” while somewhat awkwardly noting that President Bush sought (and won) authorization for the Iraq War and the invasion of Afghanistan — as Bush’s father did before the First Gulf War. Given Bush’s willingness to seek authorization,...."
[Obama's] blatant disavowal of the opinion he expressed as a candidate in 2007, when he said “the president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”
But Senator Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) explained Wednesday that, “This is different.” Pro-war liberal hypocrites have short memories of war authorization - Chicago Sun-Times


So....are Obama supporters really, really stupid......or do Obama supporters behave as though they are really, really stupid?

And, without any semblance of honor?





4. "The U.S. Congress has granted President George W. Bush the authorisation he sought to wage war if necessary to disarm Iraq, as the Senate followed the House of Representatives to support him with overwhelming votes.

Handing Bush a major victory, the Democratic-led Senate voted 77-23 for a war powers resolution negotiated between the White House and congressional leaders backing a possible use of force to rid Iraq of suspected weapons of mass destruction and possibly oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

The Republican-led House earlier on Thursday passed it 296-133.
Bush has sought the congressional resolution as the United States presses the U.N. Security Council to adopt a tough new measure demanding that Saddam abandon any programs for biological, chemical or nuclear weapons or face possible military consequences."

5. Here is the Liberal press lying to support Obama:
"Quite extraordinary: after 30 years of presidents strengthening powers of exec branch, POTUS is giving some of that power back to Congress,” NBC’s Chuck Todd gushed on Twitter.

No class, no honesty, still blaming Bush....

I don't blame this low-class liar....I blame the people who voted him into power.

 

[PredFan]

You want to know how to tell if obama's lying?

If his lips are moving, he's lying.

 

[Pete7469]

Damn, that was a figure of speech...

I had a wonderful vision of the moonbat messiah streaking across the WH lawn in flames.

You do realize that was over a year after 9-11?

What does that have to do with anything?

 

[Jroc]

The pure incompetence of this guy is on display for the whole world to see and still with the help of the Obama media these people think he's brilliant. At some point they haft to wake up, when will that point come?

 

[Papageorgio]

You do realize that he got Congressional approval before going into Iraq.

obama has lost more than a battle here. he has lost support, confidence and trust. you can walk away form a lost battle unscathed, but not the rest. he has lost face not only at home, but in the international community as well. North Korea is rattling their saber again because they see a weakend president. obama has pulled back the curtain and exposed us as a nation that is tired of war and unwilling to fight. he picked the wrong battle for his bravado. one we were surely not willing to support. one that had no international support. His actions here are totally unacceptable as the president of the united states. this is definitely his lowest of lows

Seems I didn't put together the OP on a low enough reading level for one of your ability.


The vicious, disgusting liars of the Left....beginning with the Liar-in-Chief, and his shock troops, the MSM, are behaving the same way as the propaganda ministries of other dictatorships.

Better?

 

[PredFan]

Obama the post turtle's foreign policy is flailing around like a chicken with it's head cut off. He has no idea what to do, and doesn't even know what the teleprompter will tell him to say next.

So what?

Know how many votes all that will cost the dimocrap scum party?

Ten? Maybe Twenty? If that.

dimocraps don't vote the way normal people vote. They don't think like normal people think.

They.Just.Don't.Care.

Not interested.

The only way to defeat dimocraps is to get lazy, unmotivated Conservatives off their lazy asses and get them to vote.

All this shit isn't going to hurt dimocraps. That's a myth.

Anybody that thinks the average dimocrap voter cares about truth, justice and the American Way is delusional

SEC. 2. SUPPORT FOR UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS.
The Congress of the United States supports the efforts by the President to-- 1. strictly enforce through the United Nations Security Council all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq and encourages him in those efforts; and
2. obtain prompt and decisive action by the Security Council to ensure that Iraq abandons its strategy of delay, evasion and noncompliance and promptly and strictly complies with all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq .


SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.
(a) AUTHORIZATION- The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to-- 1. defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq ; and
2. enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq .

(b) PRESIDENTIAL DETERMINATION- In connection with the exercise of the authority granted in subsection (a) to use force the President shall, prior to such exercise or as soon thereafter as may be feasible, but no later than 48 hours after exercising such authority, make available to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate his determination that-- 1. reliance by the United States on further diplomatic or other peaceful means alone either (A) will not adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq or (B) is not likely to lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq ; and
2. acting pursuant to this joint resolution is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorist and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.


Recall that the Bush administration had agreed to SCR 1441 and then reneged on it's commitment even though the inspections were ongoing and not being hampered by Iraq at all.

Iraq was not a threat to the world remaining super power.

Iraq was not involved in 9-11.

Congress failed as much as President Bush did.

"Congress failed as much as President Bush did."


So....inadvertently.....you agree with the OP as to the lies of Obama and the MSM.


Glad to see you regaining sanity.

And now for some more Golden Oldies from the worthless wind-bag:



“No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what’s broken and build on what works.” Barack Obama, Address to the AMA, June 15, 2009

“And that means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what’s broken and build on what works.” Barack Obama, Holmdel, NJ, July 16, 2009

“If you like your doctor, you’re going to be able to keep your doctor. If you like your plan, keep your plan. I don’t believe we should give government or the insurance companies more control over health care in America. I think it’s time to give you, the American people, more control over your health.” Barack Obama, Speech George Mason University, March 19, 2009


“If you already have health insurance through your job — and because many of you are members of unions, you do — nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change your coverage or your doctor. Let me repeat: Nothing in this plan will require you to change your coverage or your doctor.” Barack Obama, Address to the AFL-CIO Convention, September 15, 2009



I think he crossed the red line.....
