Obama Lie #1 “If we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home, we will end this war. You can take that to the bank.”
Obama Lie #2 In Obama’s campaign, he promised to “eliminate entirely” income tax for seniors making less than $50,000.
Obama Lie #3 On an interview on The Today Show Obama claimed he won the Michigan & Illinois Primaries, which is a lie.
Obama Lie #4 The only involvement I had with Acorn was doing some stuff with the justice department.
Obama Lie #5 “My father served in World War II”
Obama said in a campaign speech below that his father served in World War 2. Yeah, the communist Kenyan father that was 9 years old when the war ended. Obama was probably referring to his grandfather who did actually serve, but could the candidate who had written “dreams of my father” perhaps been trying to boost the image of his communist father seeing how most people rarely look into the facts? Probably. But why worry about who Barack’s communist father really was while Obama is trying to enforce the dreams of his father?
Obama Lies #6,7,8,9,10,11,12 The public Will Have 5 Days To Look At Every Bill That Lands On My Desk. Obama Lied about giving the public 5 days to look at the health care bill before signing it, but then again, is it any surprise from the people that said you’ll save 3000% on your health Care Costs? To them I’m sure it made sense that Sunday Night to Tuesday Morning was 5 days.
7 Lies & Broken Promises:
1. Make Government Open and Transparent
2. Make it “Impossible” for Congressmen to slip in Pork Barrel Projects
3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public (republicans shut out)
4. No more secrecy
5. Public will have 5 days to look at a Bill
6. You’ll know what’s in it (Republican Senators didn’t know)
7. We will put every pork barrel project online
Obama Lie #13 “No more Illegal Wire Tapping of American Citizens”.
Of course, the illegal wire tapping of American citizens continues to this day.
Obama Lie #14
The Promise to Walk the Picket Line if Workers are Denied the Right to Bargain Did you really believe this one? What a joke!
Obama Lie #15 Promises to Close Guantanamo Bay and End Torture.
Obama Lie #16 I am Somebody who Promotes Same-Sex Marriage. Watch this timeline of Obama flip-flopping on the Same-sex Marriage Issue. Yet another lie.
Obama Lie #17 Promise to Cut Deficit in Half. Soon after Obama took office he pledged that his administrated would cut the deficit in half. Closing in on the last year of his term his pledge made in February of 2009 is laughable, and just another item on his list of lies.
Obama Lie #18 “If you like the healthcare plan you have, you can keep it.”
Obama Lie #19 Obama Claims Border Fence ‘Basically Complete’ but It’s Only 5% Finished
“They wanted more agents on the border. Well, we now have more boots on the ground on the southwest border than at any time in our history. The Border Patrol has 20,000 agents – more than twice as many as there were in 2004, a build up that began under President Bush and that we have continued. They wanted a fence. Well, that fence is now basically complete.”
The Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress’s investigative arm, reported in early 2009 that only 32 miles of double-layer fencing had been built. That means under President Obama, only 4.3 miles of double layer fencing has been built. This is woefully inadequate.
Obama Lie #20 “We got back Every Dime we Used to Rescue the Banks with Interest”
The Congressional Budget Office–based on figures from Obama’s own Office of Management and Budget—gives a different assessment.
“The cost to the federal government of the TARP’s transactions (also referred to as the subsidy cost), including grants for mortgage programs that have not yet been made, will amount to $24 billion,” said the CBO report, which was released on the same day Obama spoke.
Obama Lie #21 Oath of Office (January 20th, 2009)
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

In their never ending battle to stop law abiding American citizens from owning firearms the anti-gun lobby will do whatever it takes to restrict Americans ownership of guns. They have shown this willingness to exploit tragedies in attempts to gain supporters while families and victims grieve, all in the name of their agenda . President Obama recently made anti-gun remarks during a memorial service for the victims of the Navy Yard Shooting.
One of the anti-gun groups arguments is that less firearms equals less violence, seems to make sense on the surface and is many times accepted as fact. But unfortunately for the anti-gun movement and fortunately for us, the anti-gun facts don't add up.
Enter the fall issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons and Jane M. Orient, M.D. arguing that there is no evidence-based support for more gun control. The statistics gun-control advocates cite are hand-picked from larger data sets that show no correlation between more gun laws and less violence.
The facts are since 1993, homicides with firearms and other crimes with firearms are down significantly (39 and 69 percent, respectively). Using the gun-control line of thinking, one would expect there to be significantly fewer firearms now than in 1993. Nothing could be further from the truth. That period of decreased violence actually corresponds with a substantial increase in the number of guns owned by Americans.
It seems clear those interested in reducing violent crime would be better served not by passing new laws to restrict access to firearms for law-abiding citizens, but by enforcing the laws already on the books.
Reuters is reporting that U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.
About 4.5 million of the 8 million new guns manufactured worldwide each year are purchased in the United States, it said.
"There is roughly one firearm for every seven people worldwide. Without the United States, though, this drops to about one firearm per 10 people," it said.
India had the world's second-largest civilian gun arsenal, with an estimated 46 million firearms outside law enforcement and the military, though this represented just four guns per 100 people there. China, ranked third with 40 million privately held guns, had 3 firearms per 100 people.
Germany, France, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil and Russia were next in the ranking of country's overall civilian gun arsenals.
On a per-capita basis, Yemen had the second most heavily armed citizenry behind the United States, with 61 guns per 100 people, followed by Finland with 56, Switzerland with 46, Iraq with 39 and Serbia with 38.
France, Canada, Sweden, Austria and Germany were next, each with about 30 guns per 100 people, while many poorer countries often associated with violence ranked much lower. Nigeria, for instance, had just one gun per 100 people.
"Firearms are very unevenly distributed around the world. The image we have of certain regions such as Africa or Latin America being awash with weapons -- these images are certainly misleading," Small Arms Survey director Keith Krause said.
"Weapons ownership may be correlated with rising levels of wealth, and that means we need to think about future demand in parts of the world where economic growth is giving people larger disposable income," he told a Geneva news conference.
"Civilian holdings of weapons worldwide are much larger than we previously believed," Krause said, attributing the increase largely to better research and more data on weapon distribution networks.
J.R. talks about the disturbing videos sent to NBC by VA Tech Shooter, Discusses the Recent Ruling from the SCOTUS on Partial Birth Abortion Ban, Four Car Bombs Kill 140 and injure 120 in Iraq.
Four separate car bombs detonated today in the Iraqi capital, killing 131 Iraqi civilians and wounding about 164, military officials reported.
Iraqi security forces responded quickly to the first car bomb attack that occurred in the electronics district of the Karadah Peninsula at about 12:50 p.m. A patrol from 4th Brigade, 1st Iraqi Army Division, arrived on the scene with Iraqi emergency services and reported five people had been killed and nine wounded. The casualties were sent to a local hospital for medical care.
A second car bomb detonated near the Sadr City District Joint Security Station at 3 p.m., on a bridge just south of their location. Iraqi security forces and emergency services quickly responded to the site, reporting 10 locals killed, 15 wounded and 11 vehicles damaged.
At about 4:15 p.m., a third car bomb detonated in a parking lot near the al-Sadriyah market area in central Baghdad, killing 115 local Iraqis and wounding about 137 more. The blast damaged 40 vehicles.
Iraqi police and Iraqi army troops have secured the area and are working with Iraqi emergency services to transport all casualties to nearby hospitals. The vehicle bomb targeting the al-Sadriyah market area did not penetrate the emplaced barriers surrounding the restaurant-laden market area.
A fourth attack, a suicide car bomb, detonated as it targeted the Kaizaran Iraqi national police checkpoint in Baghdad's West Rashid district at about 7 p.m., killing the suicide bomber and one Iraqi national policeman, while wounding another Iraqi policeman and two Iraqi civilians.
Soldiers from Company A, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, and 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 1st National Police Division, responded with Iraqi firefighters to extinguish burning vehicles and provide aid to those injured in the attack.
