Obama “selfie” of the week

The Obama “selfie” of the week. As a certain former big-name TV propagandist “journalist” once said, “Fake but accurate.”

    LBJ:
    We were attacked (in the Gulf of Tonkin)

    Nixon:
    I am not a crook

    GHW Bush:
    Read my lips - No new taxes

    I did not have sex with that woman... Miss Lewinski

    GW Bush:
    Iraq has weapons of mass destruction

    Obama:
    I will have the most transparent administration in history.
    The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs.
    I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.
    The IRS is not targeting anyone.
    It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
    If I had a son.
    I will put an end to the type of politics that "breeds division, conflict and cynicism".
    You didn't build that!
    I will restore trust in Government.
    The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
    The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
    It's not my red line - it is the world's red line.
    Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
    We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
    I am not spying on American citizens.
    ObamaCare will be good for America
    You can keep your family doctor.
    Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
    If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan
    It's just like shopping at Amazon
    I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious" gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels
    I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups
    I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi
    I have never known my uncle from Kenya who is in the country illegally and that was arrested and told to leave the country over 20 years ago
    And, I have never lived with that uncle. (He finally admitted today, (12-05-2013) that he DID know his uncle and that he DID live with him.

    And the biggest one of all:
    "I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America."

    • You left off the most important part of the Presidential oath. "to the best of my ability".

      Little Barry has NO ability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States". ANY person in the Secret Service that willing serves this hideous, laughable, treasonous piece of dog shit - is a traitor and deserves to be stood up against a wall and shot in the face.

      It is time we take this country back from the destructive bastards and bitches who now occupy government jobs. The cold fact is that if every single one of them dropped dead tomorrow, we would have a better country.

      And that especially goes for EVERY SINGLE PERSON working for NSA. They are ALL traitors and deserve to die a traitors death. ALL OF THEM.

      And I know they are reading this so I say, "Bring it on mother fuckers! You don't have enough fire power to take me without bringing in the military. Update your god damn wills before you come on my property."

      Read my lips - GO FUCK YOURSELF.

      • It goes beyond mere lies... through his actions Obama has not only shown that he does not have our best interests at heart but also that he intends to leave office with the country in far worse shape than when he was first inaugurated. He is looking to accomplish through elected office what jihadists were unable to do. Congress and the Supreme court are willing enablers. Unfortunately the cure will likely kill the patient.

    • I have one issue with your list. GWB was led to believe Iraq had WMD, I don't believe he lied, because lying would mean he meant to decieve, and I don't believe he knew they didn't have them.

      • I would not argue that fact with you, I believe that GWB decisions were based upon the information that was provided to him by our illustrious intelligence services and that those WMD were moved well ahead of time to different locations.

      • Oh Iraq had em, now Syria has got em. We gave Saddam 6 months warning to get rid of them. How dumb was that.

        • Actually, my meaning is that they didn't have the quantity or the level of weapons we were led to believe. GWB relayed the info he was given, he didn't lie because he was told what they had and that is what he told us.
          I know they had something, but who knows what they really had, since they had time to move them and destroy the proof of what they had.
