Obama Caught Lying At Press Conference "Epic Fail" 2011

When President Obama held a news conference Thursday to push his jobs plan, he told an anecdote about a teacher from Boston he met recently to really drive the point home that Congress needs to act immediately on the American Jobs Act and put teachers back to work. But the tale the president told may have been a bit embellished.

Obama said he had met a young man named Robert Baroz who has two decades of teaching experience, a master's degree and and excellent track record of teaching. "He's an English teacher in Boston who came to the White House a few weeks ago," the president explained to reporters. "In the last few years, he's received three pink slips because of budget cuts. Why wouldn't we want to pass a bill that puts somebody like Robert back in the classroom teaching our kids?"

But there are two elements of Mr. Obama's story that are being questioned. According to the Boston Herald, Robert Baroz never met the president when he was at the White House. And Robert Baroz is currently employed.

Baroz tells the Herald it's true he was at a White House press conference on jobs last month, but he never actually met with Mr. Obama. Instead, he met with the president's Education Secretary Arne Duncan.

It's also true Baroz has in fact received three pink slips in four years, but he is currently employed as a literacy and data coach.

Fox News' Ed Henry asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney about the discrepancies in the president's story. Carney didn't refute the fact that Baroz never actually met the president. "I think he was this close to the president as you are to me and, you know, the president knows his story," he said.

Carney added that the overall message is indisputable. "[A]ll around the country teachers are being laid off. The president has a plan to solve that...or to address that problem." Carney went on to say Baroz was hired as a "result of the kinds of assistance provided by this administration through the Recovery Act to give assistance to states to ensure that teachers were hired back or weren't laid off to begin with."

Baroz, who is an Obama supporter, explained to the Herald that Obama's story was an effort to tell a higher truth. "People who want to fuss over the word choice are missing the point. It's about our investing in education and in communities," Baroz told the newspaper. "It was technically correct."

of course he lies. hes a politician and a lawyer!

[JanColdwater]

Ok, he lied. Nothing new. Now will Fox News admit to the lies their news organisation has told?  I am NOT an Obama supporter but rather a truth supporter. This is why I am voting for Ron Paul!

[reinhardweiss]

@JanColdwater Um, this is just so FOS, why don't you do us ALL a favor and identify ONE lie. Just one. Be specific ... the exact circumstance, exactly what the truth was and exactly what they reported that was incorrect (btw ... I'll even give you that, because you don't have a freaken clue if they intentionally reported something they knew was wrong).

[IrishMafia360]

so obama lied what else is new he's been lieing for the last 3 years.

[TiedSilver]

Ron Paul is the only one who doesn't lie to our face. If he does he's a lot better at it than obamanation, romney, santorum (google the definition of that btw)

[cbprincess5]

@JanColdwater I agree with you and I am voting for Ron Paul. Ron Paul is the only candidate that can defeat Obama. Ron Paul is very qualified and intelligent and is following our Constitution and has a better chance at winning in any debate with Obama and Ron Paul can not be bought. Ron Paul has a message of peace and liberty and believes in personal property rights and home schooling.

Why assume stupidity when dishonesty will suffice . Is there anything more dangerous to the cause of liberty than a politician fixated on re-election?

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even when there is no river! Im still waiting for this GASBAG to reduce the deficit to 1/2 of what he started with.... Maybe I misunderstood...Maybe he misunderstood... In politics, absurdity is not a handicap

@waksupi After JFK all the racists converted to republican since they felt that was a slap on the face, nothing really changed since.

[waksupi]

Racist? Thanks, Democrats for Jim Crow, the KKK, and making laws in the early 1900's to prevent blacks from voting.

[MrJamesmatza]

[MrNapalm138]
