Proof positive you can tell politicians lie?

Politicians don't lie, they don't exempt themselves from laws, and they have our best interests in wall...I mean at heart.


Anybody want to buy a bridge in Queens?

Oceanfront property in Arizona perhaps?

The Libs new catchword now is, embellish.

They don't lie, they embellish the truth.

Like Hussein embellished the truth when he said he personally met the teacher that got 4 pink slips.

He never met him personally. Part of the story was passed on from a guy that heard a guy say he heard from a gal that thinks she talked with the person ______________________________________________, etc., etc., etc.

I know conservatives will catch the point.

like the politicians who own stock or invest in gold, for instance, supporting wall street or pushing for a gold standard?

not sure if those things are 'bad' or just indicators that they believe personally in what they support,, enough to put their money where their mouth is,,,

wow,, attended a meeting with the president, but didnt actually 'meet' him,,,


the deception,,,

every little deception leads to bigger lies... but i know you can't see this, because it is ok for obama to lie...

yeah, I actually dont consider that a LIE

attending a meeting = meeting with others at the meeting,,,

lol, i know, i just said that...

nope, you said I Cant see it because its 'ok for obama to lie'

what I said, is that he didnt lie

During his presser, Obama introduced teacher Baroz into the national discussion of his “jobs bill.” Obama claimed to have met Mr. Baroz and lamented that Baroz was out of work.

I had a chance to meet a young man named Robert Baroz. He’s got two decades of teaching experience. He’s got a master’s degree. He’s got an outstanding track record of helping his students make huge gains in reading and writing. In the last few years, he’s received three pink slips because of budget cuts. Why wouldn’t we want to pass a bill that puts somebody like Robert back in the classroom teaching our kids?

The problem with this little tale of woe? Firstly President Obama did not meet teacher Baroz. Robert Baroz did attend a Rose Garden press conference last September with a few other teachers, but the closest he ever got to the president was Baroz’ front row seat during the event. The two never came face to face, never shook hands, never actually met.

___________________________________________________________
Baroz went on to say he didn't mind that Barry and he never spoke privately and he didn't have a problem with Hussein embellishing on the story.

If Obozo wasn't lying, or asking for money, he wouldn't have a word to say
