25 Obama Whoppers for the Media to Chew On

American Thinker

Now that the media have shown their eagerness to expose the “lies” of presidential candidate Ben Carson, they might want to review some of the nuggets they overlooked in the rise of Barack Obama. To be sure, there is no going back, but future generations of journalists might benefit from seeing how shamelessly the fourth estate transformed itself into the Democrats’ fifth column.

25.  “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.” Obama made this pledge in September 2007. He broke it in June 2008. He told the Washington Post he still supported the idea of public financing, but the current system was “broken” and favored Republicans who had “become masters at gaming” it. The media yawned.

24.  “So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama.” In March 2007, Obama claimed the 1965 events in Selma inspired his parents to get together. He was born in 1961. The media chose not to notice.

23.  “We’ll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN.” No fewer than eight times candidate Obama promised to air health-care negotiations on C-SPAN. Remember watching them?

Bottom line up front: The political establishment and the media are hiding the greatest fraud and Constitutional crisis in American history to protect a hopelessly corrupt status quo.

They continue the charade while desperately trying to run out the clock on Obama because they know if the full truth about him was ever told, the American people would rise up with uncontainable anger against the permanent political class and their collaborators in the media. The vast majority of the members of our lawless one-party, political-media state would lose their jobs and many would go to prison.

Such a description would go a long way towards explaining why Obama, who never lets facts or logic get in the way of his political agenda, is undeterred by any legal constraints and why the Republican leadership is so submissive and cooperative. There may be subtle policy differences among them, but one thing is palpably clear to the political-media establishment – if he goes down, they all go down.

There is, in fact, no credible evidence that Obama was actually born anywhere.

The Obama administration is corrupt and evil

Marie Jon, RenewAmerica analyst

Barack Obama exhibits very little to none of the biblical teachings of the Judeo-Christian faith. To this day, he has not become a member of any of the Christian churches in Washington, D.C.

I’m not going to stop reminding the American people about the fact that Obama sat in the Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years because he liked what he heard coming out of the mouth of an anti-American, anti-Semitic, bigoted pastor named Jeremiah Wright.

Progressive Black Liberation Theology is a Marxist teaching. It explains the goals of this president as he continually works to destroy our country. For nearly a century, communists have sought to bring down the greatest nation in the world, and the current resident of the White House is no exception.

Liar, liar: Why Obama is failing

Pajamas Media

Obama seems to be failing more completely than any president in my lifetime. Everywhere you turn he is floundering, overreaching, or outright flunking. His only success — health care legislation — was achieved over the will of the people, rarely a good idea. He is manufacturing conservatives and libertarians at an unprecedented clip. The only mystery left for the coming November election is how bad a donnybrook this will be for the Democrats.

Why has this happened?

Filling the Jeremiah Wright gap

Power Line

In a famous speech, Barack Obama declared that he could no more disown Rev. Jeremiah Wright than he could disown the black community, or for that matter his white grandmother. Shortly thereafter, following more embarrassing comments by Wright, Obama did manage to disown Wright. However, the earlier message was clear – there is place in Obama’s inner circle for a radical black racist, as long as he doesn’t behave in too frightful a manner.

The lesson has not been lost on radical black racist Rev. Al Sharpton. As the Washington Post reports, Sharpton has become a “partner to the Obama White House.” In fact, “Sharpton has had a voice in some of the most important policy debates affecting the black community.” More than that, Obama seems to use him as a moral litmus test for key aspects of his domestic policy. “I know if I’m doing it right, Reverend Sharpton will be right here to let me know,” Obama has reportedly said. In short, Sharpton seems to be Obama’s moral compass, the role that Wright, the president’s former spiritual mentor, might well have played had he been a little more diplomatic.

The Post wants to convey the impression that it’s a mellow version of Sharpton that has captured the president’s ear. But the only evidence it offers that Sharpton has changed consists of the fact that he has lost weight and now wears business attire instead of track suits. As Sharpton explains, “you have to have core principles and everything else is a tactic.” In other words, his core principles remain the same. And they fit seamlessly in the Obama administration.

Joe Biden kicked off his presidential campaign by calling Barack Obama “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” Biden was, of course, differentiating Obama from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Biden had to apologize for this statement. There’s no question, however, that part of Obama’s appeal to white voters was the fact that he seemed so different from Sharpton and Jackson. Obama understood this very well. As the Post notes, he persuaded Sharpton to keep his distance from the presidential campaign.

But now that the slimmed-down, well-dressed Sharpton has become an important and visible force in the Obama administration, I wonder what the differences would be between a Sharpton presidency and the one Obama is serving up.
