Obama - Bare Faced Lie

"Sent to the Washington Times on July 21st, 2009"

===

Dear Editor, A Lie We Can't Ignore...

Breaking campaign promises is something many politicians do, and they are used to getting away with it even when they are broken blatantly and without apologies.

Being caught in a public lie is something else entirely.

President Obama clearly, without ANY doubt or quibbling whatsoever, blatantly lied to the cameras on July 21st on the Today Show and NO ONE seems to be raising the issue.

Obama said, and I quote exactly as you can see 5 minutes into the original clip of the Today Show interview with Meredith Vieira:

"The only tax change I've made in the 6 months I've been here is to cut people's taxes."

He said that - despite the clear and recorded fact that he raised cigarette pack taxes by 150% and raised the tax on one of the poorest well-defined minority groups in the country, smokers so poor they roll their own from shreds of tobacco and scraps of paper, by OVER TWO THOUSAND PERCENT (from $1/lb to $24/lb).

He stated a lie, a lie that at least 40 million Americans (smokers) knew full well was a lie, and Meredith didn't even wince, much less even TRY to pretend to be a journalist and ask him about it.

While there have been some rumblings on the internet about it I don't believe there has been even a single mention of it ANYWHERE in the mainstream media.

He **LIED** - no waffling, no minor prevarication, no slight mis-slip-of-the-tongue, he LIED just as blatantly and directly as if Bush had been interviewed about terrorism and said "We have no one imprisoned at Guantanamo."

The amazing thing is that no one seems to be calling him on it. Smokers seem to have been now officially relegated to the status of unpersons, of vermin that do not even need to be acknowledged to exist as citizens of America despite paying taxes to support the children nonsmokers don't love enough to support themselves.

I have news for Mr. Obama. We are NOT unpersons. We are NOT vermin. We are Americans and we will NOT tolerate being erased.

That man has no honor.Let's kick him out so he can go back to Jeremiah, and suckle the Black Panthers again. Sorry his election forced him to throw his true friends under the bus. But it's very revealing about him.

@rcdESPANYOL4ever ignorant.............

[rcdESPANYOL4ever]

I don't see where he lied... he did cut taxes, first in the stimulus and then again when he had to make a deal with republicans and he reluctantly extended the Bush Tax Cuts

@tatermuckateen: I'm glad people like you weren't allowed to vote up until recently. However, what you liberal commie satanists have done to this country since the '30s has been purely sickening. What are YOU gonna do when they tax breathing (Carbon tax)? ...Stop breathing like everybody else?

[tatomuck18]

what are you gonna do once they tax all the internet cigarette sales and force you to pay a huge tax bill for this tobacco??? Why dont you pay for taxes and follow the rules like everyone else!

@Eury45107 I'm not going anywhere numb nuts! I live in a country where their is a separation between church and state, so if you don't like that then you leave! You and all the other delusional people that believes in a celestial dictator! So take your bronze aged way of thinking and your sky demon with you. I would also like to see the churches taxed so that instead of spewing hate and intolerance they can actually do something good for humanity!!

[Eury45107]

@Tegulicious hey, u don't like our nations religion "god", then move, when jesus said I am the son of god people said we don't belive it, he said pretty much "yo mama, go on get outta here, i'm outta here" (no he didn't say that exactly but in now days lingo thats pretty much what he ment).. In other words if you don't like it, get outta here, no ones forcin you to stay.
