I know all this back and forth is pointless, but when I hear people saying "Romney lied" or "obama promised Iran would not get a bomb", I have to laugh.
Other than Bill clinton, Obama is the biggest fucking liar I 've ever seen in the White House. He has lied through his teeth repeatedly in the debates about pretty much every subject. He actually said he was for coal and tried to increase employment in coal mining. If the guy who has waged a war on coal for four years can say that, he will say anything.
He said oil and gas production had surged and implied his administration was responsible. In truth, they have opposed it at every turn, and are poised to cripple drilling and exploration through the EPA after the election.
He said he "saved" the auto industry. The truth is he used massive amounts of taxpayer money to pay off the UAW and stave off the inevitable for a few years.
He has claimed all the bailout funds have or will be repaid. Nonsense. We will lose trillions on GM and FNM/FRE alone.
He claims his investments in green jobs are the wave of the future. More lies. Most of them are payoffs to contributors or cronies like Al Gore. Any success stories out there? No.
He claims to have reformed Wall Street and banking. More lies. Nothing done to date would prevent another financial crisis, too big to fail is still official policy, no one has been prosecuted except some small fry, and Jon Corzine has apparently managed to make disappear billions and escape justice.
He said he had a close relationship with Israel and its leaders. In truth they despise him and he has snubbed them repeatedly, not to mention putting their very existence at risk.
He promised to close Gitmo four years ago. Whatever.
He and his entire administration have lied repeatedly about the Libyan disaster. They hung out a group of brave Americans to die, then tried to cover it up. Mov eon, nothing to see here folks.
He claims his middle eastern policy, particularly in Egypt, was a big success. In reality, he put terrorists who had been locked up back into power. No doubt in his second term he will release the Blind Sheik, architect of the first World trade Center attack, to them as a sign of good faith.
So when he says "Iran will not get a bomb" excuse me for laughing. They might not, but it will be because of Israel, not him.
