This is starting to get hard to track. I shall endeavor to hilight said lies whenever they should present themselves.

He’s not this only lying politician, just the HMFIC of the lying politicians.

Obama Lies:

AP Fact Check: Obama Wrong on Tax Claim

Who is the misleader on health care? Again, it’s President Obama. The Associated Press has this report, excerpted here:

Memo to President Barack Obama: It’s a tax.

Obama insisted this weekend on national television that requiring people to carry health insurance — and fining them if they don’t — isn’t the same thing as a tax increase. But the language of Democratic bills to revamp the nation’s health care system doesn’t quibble. Both the House bill and the Senate Finance Committee proposal clearly state that the fines would be a tax.

Taking Over Everything
David Boaz

“My critics say that I’m taking over every sector of the economy,” President Obama sighed to George Stephanopoulos during his Sunday media blitz.

Not every sector. Just

This president and his Ivy League advisers believe that they know how an economy should develop better than hundreds of millions of market participants spending their own money every day. That is what F. A. Hayek called the “fatal conceit,” the idea that smart people can design a real economy on the basis of their abstract ideas.

You must have health insurance

President Obama’s plan to make health insurance compulsory has come under bipartisan fire for being a new tax on the middle class — a charge the Obama administration denies.

In the latest Cato briefing paper, “All the President’s Mandates: Compulsory Health Insurance Is a Government Takeover,” Director of Health Policy Studies Michael F. Cannon cites Obama advisor Larry Summers’ depiction of health insurance mandates as “public programs financed by benefit taxes,” and notes that the House bill would impose tax rates higher than 50 percent on some middle-income earners. Cannon also explains how the individual mandate could increase costs, force millions of Americans to switch coverage, and ultimately allow government to ration care.

Obama Fibs on Taxes, Abortion Beginning To Show
By Maggie Gallagher

There are lies, damn lies, and then there is politics.

Read President Obama’s lips: No new taxes for the middle class. Well, OK, maybe there will be revenue enhancers, levies, tax penalties and fines, as well as mandatory purchase of insurance policies that consume more than 10 percent of your income. But, hey, no new taxes.

Iranian AWACS Crashes…

Iran takes one on the chin. The timing is impeccable. You just can’t make this shit up…

Iran loses its only AWACS as Ahmadinejad threatens the world

Iran’s AWACS destroyed in parade collision

Up above a big military parade in Tehran on Tuesday, Sept. 22, as Iranian president declared Iran’s armed forces would “chop off the hands” of any power daring to attack his country, two air force jets collided in mid-air. One was Iran’s only airborne warning and control system (AWACS) for coordinating long-distance aerial operations, DEBKAfile’s military and Iranian sources disclose.

The proud military parade, which included a march-past, a line of Shehab-3 missiles and an air force fly-past, was planned to give Ahmadinejad a dazzling send-off for New York and add steel to his UN Assembly speech Wednesday.

Dubbed “Simorgh” (a flying creature of Iranian fable which performs wonders in mid-flight), the AWACS’ appearance, escorted by fighter jets, was to have been the climax for the Iranian Air force’s fly-past over the parade. Instead, it collided with one of escorting planes, a US-made F-5E, and both crashed to the ground in flames. All seven crewmen were killed.

Obama is Weak…

He’s weak. Everyone knows it too.

How long before the sharks attack? I am sure they can already smell the blood.

This is not good for America.

The UN loves Barack Obama because he is weak
By Nile Gardiner

Simply put, Barack Obama is loved at the UN because he largely fails to advance real American leadership. This is a dangerous strategy of decline that will weaken US power and make her far more vulnerable to attack.

I am really, really tired of this guy and the morons that support him.

The end of the fixer-upper?
By Ed Morrissey

Much of the news about the cap-and-trade bill this month concerns the internal analysis done by the Obama administration but buried until a FOIA request forced its release showing that the cost per household for the bill would go higher that $1760 per year.  But what happens when you want to sell your household?  Ryan Young of CEI highlights a few more costly aspects of Waxman-Markey, which could end the fixer-upper market and make resales both more expensive and more difficult:

ObamaCare: young voters to get what they deserve
By Darleen Click

Democrats let the veil drop

WASHINGTON — Senior Republicans challenged Democratic plans to require nearly all people to carry health insurance, sharpening attacks on the first day of Senate Finance Committee debate over legislation to overhaul the nation’s health-care system.

We Don’t Want It…

One would think that someone that was smart would get the clues and realize that what they are doing is pissing of the populace. Apparently, Obama isn’t the smartest when it comes to the obvious.

Americans Don’t Want It
David Boaz

“Americans are more likely today than in the recent past to believe that government is taking on too much responsibility for solving the nation’s problems and is over-regulating business,” according to a new Gallup Poll.

New Gallup data show that 57% of Americans say the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to businesses and individuals, and 45% say there is too much government regulation of business. Both reflect the highest such readings in more than a decade.

Byron York of the Examiner notes:

The last time the number of people who believe government is doing too much hit 57 percent was in October 1994, shortly before voters threw Democrats out of power in both the House and Senate. It continued to rise after that, hitting 60 percent in December 1995, before settling down in the later Clinton and Bush years.

Also, the number of people who say there is too much government regulation of business and industry has reached its highest point since Gallup began asking the question in 1993.

That might give an ambitious administration pause.

Pelosi Watch:

Pelosi’s Pretense
By Jan LaRue

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held an “emotional” press conference to caution the rest of us “about the language” we use. “We all have to take responsibility for our actions and our words” and “any incitement they may cause.” Some people aren’t as “balanced” as we may think, Pelosi pontificated.

Still Lying
By Daniel J. Flynn

“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this, myself, in the late ’70s in San Francisco,” a choked-up Nancy Pelosi remarked in reference to Congressman Joe Wilson’s “You lie!” interruption during Barack Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress. “This kind of rhetoric was very frightening, and it created a climate in which violence took place.”

The specific violence the Speaker amorphously alluded to, as confirmed by her office, was the murder of San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, the gay politician recently depicted in Gus Van Zant’s biopic starring Sean Penn, by Dan White, an unstable former supervisor driven to murder by his bitterness over his failure to be reinstalled in the supervisor post from which he had just resigned.

McChrystal Threatens to Quit…

And now, we have a crisis of Presidential leadership. Well, the lack there of. GEN McChrystal said he’ll resign if the President doesn’t up the ante with troops.

I support GEN McChrystal on this one. Wither give him the tools to win, or get the hell out.

In Which Obama Has A General Problem, Just Like A Real President*

Roggio at Long War points to and discusses a McClatchy report that McChrystal is ready to resign if not given the resources to prosecute the war in Afghanistan.

I’m going to guess Obama and Emanuel are not going to take kindly to being pressured, but it puts them in a spot.

McChrystal to resign if not supported
By Uncle Jimbo

Another reason to like the guy. Not only did he used to be President of the Pipehitters Union, but he is standing up for the troops.

Within 24 hours of the leak of the Afghanistan assessment to The Washington Post, General Stanley McChrystal’s team fired its second shot across the bow of the Obama administration. According to McClatchy, military officers close to General McChrystal said he is prepared to resign if he isn’t given sufficient resources (read “troops”) to implement a change of direction in Afghanistan:

He was sent to Afghanistan to command and win. He needs more troops to do that, which everyone knows. He is getting slow-rolled as the White House sniffs the political breezes. President Obama talked a big game on the campaign trail and in March announced his new strategy. Now that he has gotten beaten up over all his big government plans, he is tap dancing on Afghanistan. He has had McChrystal’s report for more than three weeks and reportedly has held only one meeting about it.

Let Me Add My Two Cents To The “McChrystal To Resign” Chorus

Uber Pig and Uncle Jimbo have more than adequately covered this, but like Uncle J said, sometimes you just have to vent.

One of the things military officers do more regularly than they like to admit is play “you bet your bars”. The ‘bars’ referred too are usually captain bars, but it applies at all levels of command. Essentially it means you find yourself in a situation where you feel ethically obligated to lay your career on the line with a decision you make. If the situation works out well, then it’s all good. If not, you’ve “bet your bars” and lost and your career is most likely over. They aren’t all life or death situations. Sometimes they’re situations in which you cannot morally or ethically continue to do what you are being ordered to do because you cannot support the mission as structured. You feel ethically obligated to take a stand.

Repeal the 17th Amendment…

I agree wholeheartedly with this. There is too much BS in the Senate that goes unanswered for by the idiots that occupy that quagmire.

Repeal the 17th Amendment and place term limits on the whole lot.

Two Tweaks to the Constitution
By Jon N. Hall

Sometimes, We the People discover that we have made a serious mistake, and we don’t want to wait for the next election to correct it. In some states, voters can correct their mistakes with a recall election, such as the 2003 recall of California Governor Gray Davis.

The recall, however, is not available on the federal level. Federal officials are removed from office by either expulsion or impeachment. Congress uses expulsion. So, removal of bad actors in congress is a matter of elected officials ousting other elected officials; the electorate has no say in the matter. But is congress policing itself?
