| It is difficult to say with certainly which of the many whoppers President Obama told tonight was took the most crust to utter, but my money is going on this assertion, made a few minutes into the speech: “Already, the Affordable Care Act is helping to slow the growth of health care costs.” I know “Orwellian” has now become rather hackneyed, but there is simply no other adjective that better describes this statement. It is not merely a lie. It is the precise opposite of the truth. It is just as absurd as “war is peace” or “freedom is slavery.”

You´d need a vocal chord transplant if you hollered "YOU LIE" after all the Obama assertions. All obamcare has done so far is waste billions on the bureaucratic set ups i greedy blue states. Money that could have been used to give low income people a vouchers to buy private insurance or set them up with a MSA.

But the fearful [destroys opposition], and unbelieving [does not cling to the Bible], and the abominable [partial birth abortion], and murderers [Benghazi], and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters [black liberation theology] and all liars [almost every speech], shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
with a >50% approval, does our nation deserve anything less than judgement?

My democrat friends are just coming to realize that they too are going to get the Obamacare shaft. I take very little pleasure in saying to them "I told you so!". Well, maybe just a little since I´ve been telling them for 4 years what it means when government takes over an industry.

And why is anyone surprised? Lying is what he does. It´s what all pro-regressives do. We bad, they good. Social justice for all (but us - and they will decide that).
It was too soon after the election for me to watch this lie-fest accompanied by the usual exaggerated cheering section by the idiots on the left. I tried the ´This man is lying´ note taped to the screen, sound muted, CC on, but I couldn´t do even that. Monday night´s DVR´d The Following was much more fun.
His speeches are always all the same - lies, big promises, progressive wet dreams. Until he´s gone. And the untangling can begin. Everything about this administration, the past 4 years, the next 4 years, everyone involved..... it´s ALL Orwellian.

Counting Fauxbama´s lies would be like cleansing the Augean stables with a toothbrush. Regardless of the lies, the sheeple will applaud because they don´t care what he says; they only care whether or not it sounds plausible and gives them something for free.

Axiom: If you believe the exact opposite of what Obama says you will be correct 95% of the time. The other 5% is for utterances like "Good Morning" and "Sit Down". In those cases he is sometimes sincere.

Assume that Obama actually believes what he says. That would make it much harder to call him "brilliant."
Many of us now see him as a human version of junk mail.

I found myself screening at the set when he the poor voters who had passed up early voting, absentee voting, and vote by mail, only to suffer long lines. And Obama would fix that. But absentee ballots are always mailed late by many states, mishandled by the military, in some cases lost in air crashes, and nary a word about their being disenfranchised by his administration. He values the military but cuts their health coverage, pensions, and absolutely tries to ensure their votes don´t count.

I must be honest and admit I could not suffer through one word that came out of Obama´s mouth last night. I am barely able to read articles about it without developing a severe eye twitch. I knew that haughty lies would tumble from his lips to cheering sycophants drunk on progressive power. I couldn´t take the media tongue bath either. So here I sit this morning more frightened than I have ever been in my life for the country I love. Each of you should be very fearful too since Obama has gotten away with every egregious act that would take down any other President. The perfect storm has hit, a radical President, a media who worships him, and a weak and fractured opposition. God help is. This man truly means to so weaken this nation both financially and militarily that we will be easy pickings for our enemies.

So glad to see Mr. Catron mentioned Dietrich Bonhoeffer in this quote: Unlike today’s progressive poseurs, he spoke truth to power when it cost something. While sitting in a cell, awaiting death for that crime....
However, Bonhoeffer was not in prison because "he spoke truth to power". Bonhoeffer, along with many German military officers and other German leaders of the day, were imprisoned because they had attempted to kill Hitler in a plan called "Operation Valkyrie".
We should be reminded how gruesomely these "conspirators" were executed. They were hanged with piano wire on meat hooks. Their hanging was filmed in order to show the military command what awaits them if they try something like that again.
None-the-less, the rest of Catron´s Bonhoeffer quote is just as relevant now as during WWII: “For evil to appear disguised as light, charity, historical necessity, or social justice is quite bewildering to anyone brought up on our traditional ethical concepts.”
While the situation in our country certainly doesn´t come close to Nazi Germany, but like Catron says: No, I’m not comparing Obama to Hitler. But I am saying that the never-ending stream of prevarication that emanates from the White House and its media toadies is indeed bewildering to anyone who tries to live honestly. And most of the propaganda is specifically designed to camouflage crimes against democracy like Obamacare.

When 0bama said the Affordable Healthcare act was lowering healthcare costs, I tuned him out. My insurance has gone up 300% in the last three years. You can see most companies are going to opt out of insurance and send their employees packing to 0bama´s "Exchanges" which is what 0bama´s grand plan was in the first place. Put all the people in a single payer system, however, you must remember that he and his family will be covered by a gold plated health insurance and not have to suffer the long lines and shortages for healthcare. Wake up America.

Forget the price of healthcare...has anyone seen the prices of everything else? Food is 3-5 times more expensive than it was a couple years ago. Gasoline is over 2x more expensive. The cost of living is skyrocketing while jobs are almost non-existent, nobody (except the fat cats and the elite government types) is getting raises nor have they been for years. I feel like it is the Weimar Republic again with hyperinflation. Why aren´t the people who are dependent on government benes crying about not being able to buy as much? I know they haven´t had many (if any) increases in their "income". Even they should be screaming about the state of our union.
What I don´t understand are those idiots you see who post on a lot of articles who say that the economy is getting better and that we are all better off under Obama. These idiots who think that everything is wonderful now and that anything that goes against their belief system is evil. if you ask me, they are the evil ones.

I couldn´t watch him last night. Sorry, the dog show won out. I knew I would hear if he had mentioned Libya. It´s up to "we the people", O´Reilly, Rush and Hannity to keep trying to get the answers and to hold someone responsible. (jail time for dereliction of duty comes to mind). We can´t desert these people like the gov´t has done. Now I´m getting frustrated - where are some of the 30 people that were saved?! A Navy Seal gave up his life for you.

It must get confusing in the IT department at the Associated Press: Are you talking about the hackers who hacked our Twitter account or the Justice Department hackers who hacked our phones? Monday, the Associated Press reported that the Justice Department had secretly obtained two months of records of phone conversations by its reporters. Meanwhile, the Washington Post revealed that the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups was more widespread than first reported. (Snip)The Obama administration is doing a far better job making the case for conservatism than Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, or John Boehner ever did.

Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president’s half-brother that operated illegally for years. According to the organization’s filings, Lerner approved the foundation’s tax status within a month of filing, an unprecedented timeline that stands in stark contrast to conservative organizations that have been waiting for more than three years, in some cases, for approval.

Last week, Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell ostentatiously announced their intention to fight implementation of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). They sent a letter to the President decrying the way IPAB will “impact America’s seniors … in the absence of the democratic process.” Sadly, the exercise was a charade. McConnell and Boehner know perfectly well that Obama has no intention of setting up this controversial board until after 2015.

President Obama’s second term is off to a rocky start, but that should not obscure for Republicans the fact that their party is facing many well-documented problems. They include everything from campaign mechanics and overly long presidential primaries to changing demographics and mediocre candidates. But there’s something more fundamental at play. The GOP doesn’t have a compelling, or even a particularly identifiable, governing vision. That may be sufficient for a congressional party committed to blocking President Obama’s agenda, but it’s not sufficient for a national party that wants to once again win presidential elections.

The Benghazi story until now has been a jumble of factoids that didn´t quite cohere, didn´t produce a story that people could absorb and hold in their minds. This week that changed. Three State Department officials testifying under oath to a House committee changed it, by adding information that gave form to a growing picture. Gregory Hicks, Mark Thompson and Eric Nordstrom were authoritative and credible. You knew you were hearing the truth as they saw and experienced it. Not one of them seemed political. You had no sense of how they voted. They were professionals.

"The whole narrative confirms that while the radical motivations of the Tsarnaev brothers — and perhaps, it remains to be seen, some of their training — came from international jihadist movements, the bombing was also the product of family dysfunction, youthful nihilism, and a pattern of low-level crimes escalating into a very major one.” — Boston Globe editorial May 3.

WASHINGTON — It has happened again! Our gaffe-prone president has filed another blunder on his presidential record. At the dedication of George W. Bush’s presidential library he invoked history with his usual mastery of detail. He placed President John F. Kennedy in Air Force One, “On the flight back from Russia, after negotiating with Nikita Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War.” Actually the flight was returning from Vienna, not “Russia,” and not much “negotiating” had been done.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
