Lies of Aug 16, non-exhaustive.
I’ve got a number of members of my Cabinet who are here. All of them do outstanding work day in, day out. So I couldn’t be prouder of them. First of all, this guy you should be a little familiar with because he used to be the governor of this great state — Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. (Applause.) Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. (Applause.) Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. (Applause.) Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan. (Applause.) And the Small Business Administrator Karen Mills. (Applause.)
This is a lie. Tom Vilsack is administering Pigford. Have you ever thought about farming? Here’s your $50,000 (unless, well, you know). Ken Salazar administered the destruction of the Gulf oil and gas business and is helping the statists lock up every actually usable energy source he can. Ray LaHood administered (well, ‘shoveled out the door‘) the biggest chunk of the failed stimulus. They’re here to write Iowa checks with our money. (Possible reason not a lie but an unintended accidental truth- the worse the better, and for that this Brain Trust is outstanding.)
We’ve got small business owners here. We have farmers. We have ranchers, public servants, clean energy entrepreneurs and community organizations from all across rural America. And I’m here because I want to hear from you, and my Cabinet wants to hear from you.
This is a lie. Barack Obama is here campaigning on our dime. The Won does not need to hear from the likes of you. He is here repackaging funds Congress has already appropriated, gushing money towards his allies and potential voters. Note the shout-out to rural community organizations. As if an Iowa farmer needs ACORN to learn how to tax-farm.
But we could do even more if Congress is willing to get in the game. There are bipartisan ideas -– common-sense ideas –- that have traditionally been supported by Democrats and Republicans that will put more money in your pockets, that will put our people to work, that will allow us to deal with the legacy of debt that hangs over our economy.
Some of these are so artfully crafted that it’s dififcult to separate and delineate all of the individual lies. Because it is also somewhat innocuous sounding, this is the kind of lie that will be repeated endlessly as the campaign goes on, until it is no longer even heard by the MBM, but is deeply internalized. There is
- an accidental unintended truth : we could do even more if Congress is willing to get in the game : get back to wheeling & dealing
- a false bipartisan appeal: There are bipartisan ideas : hostage-takers, terrorists, etc.
- a theft : common-sense : Isn’t someone running as a common-sense conservative?
- an oblique shot at the TEA party :traditionally been supported by Democrats and Republicans: but not those extremists who want to stop the gravy train
- a reverse bribe: will put more money in your pockets: pretty blatant
- another accidental unintended truth : that will put our people to work: in DC. And didn’t he say something about community organizations earlier?
- And finally, the legacy of debt? Legacy? Really? He does have some balls. It might be where he keeps his stash.
We’ve got a lot of work to do, and the only way it will get done is if Democrats and Republicans put country ahead of party and put the next generation ahead of the next election. And that’s what I’m fighting for.
This is a lie. Everything this President has ever done has always put the immediate needs of his political allies over anything else. The president has borrowed and spent, and has proposed borrowing and spending into the future, cumulatively tens of trillions of dollars. That money is taken from our children and grandchildren to be given away by his government today. How is this not a blatant, spit-in-your-eye lie? Obama is not fighting for our children; he is fighting to transform America. Into something more like a solid B+ kind of country.
the legacy of debt that hangs over our economy…
hangs over our economy like a what, bumble? Just say it you fucking racist.
A black cloud?
there it is
Hey, they already nailed Perry for that, so you can’t claim (or offer) a denouncement.
Looks like Obama took the bait.
I bolded that just for HF. No wonder McCain got his ass handed to him by that other cowboy.
BTW, HF, you forgot the “Whomp!” before the ‘there it is.’
You may now denounce me properly.
I do indeed denounce your simile it was… beyond the pale

Looks like the fleebagger incumbents get to stay in office.
Wisconsin is nearly as strange as California, it seems.

This was his opening monologue, right?
But his tone could turn off independent voters whose support will be needed to defeat Obama in the 2012 general election.
Uh huh. Because Americans just can’t stand a guy who gets upset when his country is being hollowed out right in front of his nose. Americans just can’t stand a guy who calls a lie a lie. Americans just can’t stand a guy who pushes back when pushed.
Just look at what happened to Christie. Americans hate him so much that I think I heard somebody call him “fatso.” No way any politician can recover from that sort of thing. Perry better tread carefully!
Hey, like many, I never apologize for things I’ve never done either.
“Leadership®”
“I no reasonable,” Obama declared
Fixed that for him.
Nice link, geoff. I think it speaks volumes that Obama’s plan is to tackle this leadership crisis right after he gets back from Martha’s Vineyard. Talk about ceding the initiative and the high ground in one swell foop! As a funny man once said: “I can’t believe I’m losing to this guy.”
