From First to Worst

The Ultimate Con Meister

George Washington, 1737: "I cannot tell a lie"

Barack Obama, 2012: "I cannot tell the truth"

If the United States has the good fortune to stick around for another 200 years, then without a doubt Barack Obama will be remembered not so fondly as the worst president in the republic's history. Because if anyone turns out to be worse than him, then the republic is surely doomed.

How bad is Obama? Aside from $16 trillion in national debt, high unemployment, confiscatory taxes, high gas prices, shrinking 401ks and a foreign policy that could well have been crafted by a political science student enrolled at some nothing junior college, he's not too terribly bad. He does dress well; has that charismatic smile and generally sounds intelligent when he has his trustworthy teleprompter in front of him.

However, as a politician the 44th president of the United States is not only a hack, he's a serial liar who'll say almost anything to win votes. If this was America circa 1972 or even 1980 instead of 2012, Barack Obama would be laughed off of the political stage as the charlatan and phony that he is. However, America circa 2012 isn't all that intelligent and less than two weeks off from the November 6 election, there's a very good possibility that Barack Obama may be spending four more years in the White House. And if that happens, that'll either be a tragedy, nightmare or both, depending on how you view it. 

Tragically, it seems that not that many people are concerned with Obama's brazen mendacity. He's lied about the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed four men including a U.S. ambassador and two Navy Seals. He blamed that on some crude internet video for weeks after he knew it was a terrorist attack. He's lied about not cutting the U.S. military budget. He's lied about cutting America's enormous national debt. He lied about his administration being open and transparent. He lied about not apologizing for America in his diplomatic travels abroad. He lied about his $800 billion stimulus cutting unemployment under six percent. He lied about creating jobs. He lied about defending Israel. He lied about ending racially polarizing politics and political campaigns that slime opponents and commit character assassination. And he lied about ending America's dependence on foreign oil by increasing domestic oil production.

And while his Interior Secretary Ken Salazar was denying leases to oil companies for offshore drilling, Obama directed the U.S. Import and Export Bank to issue loans to Petrobras, Brazil's largest oil company to help it develop offshore drilling in the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, one of Petrobras's largest investors just happens to be billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros who literally bought the 2008 presidential election for Obama. 

If lying was music then Barack Obama would be a symphony orchestra. The Bible condemns all liars as the spiritual offspring of Satan himself, and it was Jesus Christ who said this about those who love falsehood and hate truth: "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)

America's first president, George Washington, believed in honesty and integrity at all times. As a young boy, he willingly confessed to cutting down a cherry tree after he was confronted by his father. America's 44th president would probably blame someone else for that downed tree instead of himself. In fact, in his own mind, Obama is incapable of failure because he's perfect. Whenever something goes wrong, it's never his fault.

America, you can do far better than this. A liar is not only someone who has something to hide from you, he thinks that you're too stupid to know any better when he lies to you. On November 6, you can send a message to Obama by telling him to take his dishonest act back to Chicago where he can lie all he wants for the rest of his miserable life.

Update:  According to a Fox News report, Obama now claims that he was "not personally aware" of any request for more security by his diplomats that came under siege during that terrorist attack last month on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. If you remember, Obama tried to blame that attack on an internet video. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/26/obama-not-personally-aware-security-requests-before-libya-attack/?cmpid=prn_aol&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmaing6%7Cdl1%7Csec3_lnk1%26pLid%3D226394

Obama's not only a liar,  he's the most inept president in American history. He's supposed to know this stuff. Apparently, everyone in the White House knew that this was a terrorist attack on Sept. 11, and they were aware of the plea for help from those diplomats. Except Obama.  If this isn't reason enough to dispose of this wretch on November 6--and there are a myriad of reasons for throwing this guy out of power--then shame on America and shame on everyone who wants four more years of this kind of stuff.
