RE: The President That Hates His Country By Joan Swirsky

Joel B. Pollak 17 Oct 2012

The Second Presidential Debate featured repeated claims by each candidate that the other was not telling the truth--as well as at least one claim of fact by the moderator that turned out to be false. There were even questionable claims by the audience itself. Here are the top ten worst lies told during the Second Debate:

10. "I told you I would cut taxes for middle-class families, and I did. I told you I’d cut taxes for small businesses, and I have." President Barack Obama has made this claim repeatedly during the campaign, but it is not true, as even the liberal Huffington Post acknowledges. The few tax cuts that Obama did enact--such as the temporary payroll tax holiday--were short-term, or conditional. Furthermore, as the Romney campaign has often pointed out, Obama has raised many taxes on the middle class, including the infamous Obamacare "penalty," and his taxes on "millionaires and billionaires" would hit small businesess.

9. "...[H]e was asked, is it fair for somebody like you, making $20 million a year, to pay a lower tax rate than a nurse or a bus driver....And he said, yes, I think that’s fair." Obama was referring to Romney's recent 60 Minutes interview. But the transcript reveals Obama was not telling the truth. Romney was not saying it was fair that higher income should be taxed at a lower rate. He was referring specifically to the principle that capital gains should be taxed lower than other income because it has been taxed once already--a principle, incidentally, that Obama agrees with in his own tax policy.

8. "He called the Arizona law a model for the nation." Obama tried to knock Romney's immigration policy while at the same time accusing him of flip-flopping on the issue. But as Romney pointed out, he was referring specifically to the e-Verify part of the law--the requirement of instant verification of workers' legal status. That provision is even favored by unions. Obama made it seem Romney praised the law as a whole--which he had not. He went on to say that he himself objected to the provision that allowed police to check suspected illegal immigrants' documentation--but that provision survived a challenge at the Supreme Court.

7. "I want to make sure our timekeepers are working here." For the third debate in a row, the Democratic candidate complained that he was not receiving as much time to speak as the Republican. And for the third debate in a row, the Obama/Biden ticket actually spoke for longer--much longer--than the Romney/Ryan ticket, a testament to the ability of the incumbents to pressure the moderators, and the susceptibility of the left-leaning moderators to such pressure. Obama received a full three minutes more time in last night's debate--and the percentage difference was even higher at one point in the proceedings.

6. "They rely on it for mammograms." Obama attacked Romney's proposal to cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood by claiming that the organization provides mammograms to women to help prevent breast cancer. It's been a repeated claim made by the left for months. The problem is that it's just untrue--and even left-leaning mainstream media fact-checkers have acknowledged that. What is perhaps worse than Obama's misleading claim about mammograms is the unsupported implication that Romney wants to deny life-saving health care to women--a cheap shot to which Romney was given no chance to respond.

5. "You can ship jobs overseas and get tax breaks for it." We have heard the same lie for eight years from Obama. In 2004, he ran for U.S. Senate from Illinois on a promise to end such tax breaks. He did it again when he ran for President of the United States in 2008. And yet he has never done anything about it--because there are no such tax breaks. There is merely a deduction that companies can take for moving, even within the U.S.--and which helps offset the double taxation of U.S. businesses abroad, which would make American companies less competitive. Repealing it would ship jobs overseas, actually.

4. "And the production is up....What you’re saying is just not true." Obama contested a claim by Romney that production of oil and gas is down on federal lands. He even accused Romney of not telling the truth. But Romney was right--exactly right, down to the percentage decline. Furthermore, Obama's claim that he has been increasing oil and gas production on federal lands flies in the face of recent policy decisions, such as closing off a large part of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska to further development. Obama has tried to take credit for expansion on private lands, while opposing expansion wherever possible.

3. "In what new ways do you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn?" The false premise from a member of the audience was especially egregious because her question had been selected in advance by the moderator. The supposed wage gap between men and women for the same work is largely a myth. As Diana Furchtgott-Roth pointed out: "Women make about 95 percent of what their male counterparts earn, if the male counterparts are in the same job with the same experience."

2. "He wanted to take them into bankruptcy without providing them any way to stay open." After Obama accused Romney of wanting American auto manufacturers to go bankrupt, Romney pointed out that Obama had, in fact, taken the auto companies through bankruptcy. Obama's retort was to accuse Romney of wanting to take the companies bankrupt in order to put them out of business--a blatant lie. Romney actually suggested in his famous 2008 op-ed: "In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check."

1. "He did call it an act of terror." The worst untruth told by a moderator in presidential history. Candy Crowley's intervention in favor of Obama caused the president's cheering section to burst into applause, in violation of the rules, and there was little that Romney could say in response. But she was wrong--Obama's reference to "acts of terror" in his Sep. 12 statement was in a general, abstract sense, and came long after he had described the 9/11 attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions as demonstrations against an anti-Islamic video. Even Crowley seemed to realize what she had done: it wasn't long before she walked back her own comment.

By Paul Scicchitano and Kathleen Walter
Dinesh D’Souza, co-director of the film "2016 — Obama's America," and author of the new book "Obama’s America," told Newsmax TV that President Barack Obama’s policies in the Middle East have “emboldened our enemies” and fueled anti-American attacks such as the assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
“The important point is that Obama deliberately undermined our allies and doesn’t seem to mind so much when forces hostile to America come to power,” said D’Souza in an exclusive interview on Monday, while also pointing to Obama’s willingness to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt over the military, which has been a friend to the U.S.
“There is a power struggle going on right now between the Egyptian military, which has been allied with America, and the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the largest organization in radical Islam,” he observed. “The Obama people have been telling the Egyptian military, ‘You better step down, turn away and turn over power to the Muslim Brotherhood or we will cut off U.S. aid.’”

Unlike President Jimmy Carter, who may not have fully understood the ramifications of withdrawing support from the then Shah of Iran
, “Obama knows full well that weakening the hand of the Egyptian military will consolidate the power of the Muslim Brotherhood and that’s why he’s doing it.”

D’Souza insists that “it’s downright baffling” American voters know so little about the man who has occupied the White House for nearly four years and that’s one reason his film now ranks as the second highest grossing political documentary of all time and the fourth highest grossing documentary in the U.S.

“The film has struck a chord
because people are hungry for information about Obama,” said D’Souza on the eve of his film’s release on DVD. “He kind of came out of nowhere. But now, four years later, at the end of his first term, it’s downright baffling that so much is unknown about Obama.

“It’s fair to say that whatever your politics, you’re likely to leave our film saying, ‘Wow, I just know a whole lot about Obama that I just didn’t know 90 minutes earlier when I walked into the theater or when I put the DVD into my machine,” explained D’Souza.

Doug Sain, one of the producers of “2016: Obama’s America,” tells Newsmax TV that
the mainstream media has not done a good job in filling in the blanks for voters.

“Our sincere hope is that they have a deeper understanding of what really drives this president and motivates his decision-making,” according to Sain. “I think that deep understanding will help people of all audiences have a better understanding of what direction he might take if he were to have a second term.”

Sain said that Obama has “very deep-seeded issues” that take him in a direction that is outside the norm of what most Democrats and Republicans talk about.

“When President Obama talks about sharing the wealth, he’s not just talking about Americans sharing it internally,” Sain explained. “He’s also talking about sharing that wealth globally and that’s really a radical transformation from what’s been discussed in the past.”

D’Souza conceded that he wanted to release
the DVD of his film prior to the Nov. 6 presidential election.

“I just wanted to take a page out of Michael Moore’s film ‘Fahrenheit 9-1-1,’” he said. “Michael Moore realized it wasn’t just the election but that there’s a heightened interest in politics in the months leading up to an election.

He said Americans ponder larger issues in the weeks leading up to the election.

“People begin to think not just about who to vote for, but larger questions about the American Dream, the direction of the country and the debt. So it’s a timely occasion to have the film.”

D’Souza dismissed Obama’s response to the film, particularly his comment that it was “an attempt to dishonestly smear me” and he said that the White House initially tried to ignore the film.

“Then when the snowball became too big and gathered too much snow, they decided it’s time to try to blast it,” recalled D’Souza. “And, yet, their attack on it was so ineffective, so clumsy, so juvenile that
they alleged a bunch of factual errors in the film that are not errors at all.”

Hi Evelyn,

This article is a very important one cos one of B Hussein's greatest lies is that he wants to support, empower and strengthen the middle class while he's doing the exact opposite.

Over the past 4 years the middle class lost a big chunk of their income in addition to earning less now then they were 4 years ago in addition to the tax hikes they B Hussein"s regime hit them with. Yet, the deaf, dumb and blind addicted entitlement and freebie lovers think that receiving their entitlements and freebies (like the obama phone ....) mean helping the middle class. I have a feeling that many of them don't even understand what a working middle class is.

Thanks for posting this article and I hope those still inclined to vote for the fraud and great pretender B Hussein read this and the other articles in this thread and elsewhere that show what a failure this person is.

Shalom,

Peter

Hello everyone, I always wonder how anyone could ever support Obama if they have ever read the history of who influenced him in his early years and even now. This is a chilling article and if you're honest, you'll know that it lays out the truth in an eye opening way. Many of you probably know that I was against the man way before he was ever elected president and a big part of that was researching his background. If you can honestly say these things do not make a difference to you then you have no moral integrity. I know that sounds harsh and I mean for it to sound harsh. Some of you are so selfish you have no compassion for your fellow human beings or you would not be supporting this traitor who should be tried for treason. His plan is in place to bring this country down to a third world level and he is well on his way to doing that and remember if he is reelected and some of you who's only goal is try and hang on to your entitlements, you'll unfortunately remember my warnings, but by then it will be too late.

Power At Any Cost: The Training of Barack Obama

Obama taught “Destroy Middle Class”

- Sharon Sebastian Friday, October 12, 2012
Barack Obama is desperate to make people believe that he really cares about the middle class. After four years, his actions speak louder than words. Some 85% of the middle class say they are worse off today than they were ten years ago. According to the Wall Street Journal, from the time Obama took office in 2009, The Obama years have been brutal on middle-class incomea wiping out $4019 in real income for families. The report goes on to say, The last time incomes fell this fast was during the late 1970s under Jimmy Carter, and it’s no coincidence that economic policies then and now are so similar. If Mr. Obama succeeds in convincing voters that he really is the tribune of the middle class, it will be the political conjurer’s trick of the century.
The financial loss and burden imposed by Obama will be greater on all workers, including Black, Hispanic, Asian and White, when looming tax hikes go into effect January 2013 along with Obamacares vast array of hidden taxes set to further rip family budgets apart. The question is—why has the middle class been hit so hard by Obama? Is it an ideological grudge?

Obama had two doggedly radical mentors that shaped both his ideology and his current policies. One was a committed hardcore Communist and the other was renowned as a hardcore Socialist. Neither man stressed American values, but taught the opposite—that America with its free enterprise, republic based, God-worshipping system is the enemy of the people. Frank Marshall Davis, a reported pedophile, race mongerer and strident Communist, was Obamas family friend and was recruited by Obamas grandfather to educate young Barry in the ways of the world. It was, however, Obamas educational mentor, that stressed that if real power is to be gained, it must be done at the expense of the American people and the economy.

The late Harvard Professor Saul Alinsky wrote that the key to weaken—then take over America, its economy and its people—is to destroy the middle class.  Alinsky advocated use of class and race warfare. He believed that wealth redistribution, taking from those who work and giving it to those who don't, is the catalyst to bring down the U.S. economy and free-market capitalism. After four years in office, Obama is well on his way to doing just that. Alinskys socialist guidebook is embedded in Obamas record of economic policies that he has visited upon all Americans and their families—specifically the middle class.

It should be noted that Alinsky began his book, Rules for Radicals, with a tribute to the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom Lucifer.” Alinsky championed and sought to emulate Lucifer, otherwise known as Satan. Alinsky's game plan was to lie, cheat and steal elections in order to control the American people and bring American commerce to its knees. Excerpt from my April 2010 article: Power At Any Cost: The Training of Barack Obama:

Alinsky clearly recognized that Lucifer or Satan is also the king of deception. It is upon deception that Alinsky built his political strategy. Deception, he taught his followers, is the Trojan horse that gets you inside the gates where you can then access power and retain it by any means available“ no matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation. Again, it is upon deception that Alinsky built his political strategy. It is Alinsky's strategy that Barack Obama wrote on a blackboard and can be seen teaching to ACORN members during his days as a Chicago Community Organizer. Obama's educational-mentor Alinsky also worked as a Chicago Community Organizer before him.

It is true that Saul Alinsky preferred the teachings of Lenin, who murdered millions, to the teachings of Mao, who also murdered millions. Mao advocated obtaining power by the barrel of the gun. Lenin was more subtle by first advocating working the system and obtaining power by the vote, then using the barrel of the gun to keep it. Alinsky had no qualms about stealing the vote as a means to reach his end result - power. For Saul Alinsky, deception is the key to everything. Say one thing, do another, even change the meanings of words. Pretend to be bi-partisan in order to get the upper hand. For Alinsky, the means don't matter“ destroy whomever or whatever gets in your way. Alinsky made it clear that what his followers want is power.

Though Alinsky died before Obama could make it into his classroom, an Investor Business Daily editorial traces Obama's affair with Alinsky's radical ideology: “Obama first learned Alinsky’s rules in the 1980s, when Alinskyite radicals with the Chicago-based Alinsky group Gamaliel Foundation recruited, hired, trained and paid [Obama] as a community organizer in South Side Chicago. ¦In 1988, Obama even wrote a chapter for the book “After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois,¦he traveled to Los Angeles for eight days of intense training at Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation. In turn, he trained other community organizers in Alinsky agitation tactics. Obama also taught Alinsky’s “Power Analysis” methods at the University of Chicago.

Alinsky: Key to destroying the middle class is to create a failed economy that destroys private sector jobs

Ed Blumenfeld wrote in The New American: One of Obama's advisors during his 2008 election campaign was Peter Dreier. ¦Stanley Kurtz, in Radical-in-Chief, credits Dreier with formulating the stealth plan to destroy capitalism. His plan is to gradually expand government spending until the country nears fiscal collapse. At that point, a public accustomed to entitlements will presumably turn on its capitalist masters when they propose cutbacks to restore fiscal balance.

The one Alinsky constant learned by the Obama administration is deception. Now, as the election is at hand, it attempts a full-blown cover-up from Benghazi-gate to fake unemployment stats to deflecting its own deceit by accusing its opponent of lying, a trait that the radical Democrats and their leader have mastered exceedingly well. While professing to care for the middle class, Obama's answer to lift the middle class out of its current slide into poverty is to deluge Americans with hidden taxes attached to Obamacare, send gasoline and fuel costs soaring by denying drilling permits and clean coal and printing a flood of devalued dollars that create inflated costs on food, clothing and American households. VP Joe Biden is right that the last four years of Obama have buried the middle class along with women heads-of-households as concurrent casualties. Obama has left 5.5 million women unemployed putting the poverty rate among women at 16.3%—the highest in 17 years. In the Socialist power-play, Black-Americans are collateral damage. According to the Chicago Tribune, failed economic policies have led to the Wiping out of gains made in the last 30 years [by Blacks], with plummets in wealth and high rates of foreclosures. Socialism spares no race, no one is exempt from its hardships.

Foretelling Obama's agenda for the middle class, Tony Adkins of Conservative-Daily reports: The WARN Act is a federal law requiring that most employers give 60 calendar days notice before they institute plant closings and mass layoffs. The point is to give workers some time to adapt to their upcoming unemployment by looking for another job, adjusting finances, or entering training for new skills. It's the right thing to and, it's the law. But, that pesky law has a bad timing consequence for our sitting President. Funding cuts signed by President Obama are about to result in an estimated two million jobs being lost; but, layoffs right before an election would be politically toxic, and Obama wants to avoid angry, laid off workers who might tend to vote for Romney. So, he has therefore instructed his Office of Management and Budget to ignore the law and WAIT to send out notices [until after the election]. Again, no race, no one, is spared from this hardship.

Obama learned his lesson well, David Alinsky [Saul Alinsky’s son] reportedly stated, I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing. Alinsky taught that the key to destroying the middle class is to create a failed economy that destroys private sector jobs which leads to a powerless, but growing subset of laid-off workers who become reliant on and controlled by the government. It is Alinsky's dream come to life at the destructive hands of Barack Obama, President of the United States.

Hi Kathleen, Evelyn & All,

This is an excellent video and is a must watch for all the progressive liberal addicted entitlement and freebie lovers.

It can possibly make them understand the direction B Hussein is taking this to and what his true objective is, namely to destroy America,

Thanks for posting it.

Shalom,

Peter

Kathleen, this gentleman has pointed out many examples of where our great country is headed and why we need to remove the Marxist fraud from the WH, but unfortunately, too many have their heads up their behind and refuse to face the facts staring them in the face. I know a lot of retired people are worried about whether or not their benefits are going to be reduced or taken away but they just can't seem to realize that, that is the very reason Obama needs to go. He's determined to bring us all down and less and less people being employed and more and more tax payer's money going to welfare, food stamps and all the other freebies that able body people are getting is going to eventually drain the system to where none of will have anything because the well will be pumped dry. Those of us drawing SS are doing so because we had no choice as the SS taxes were taken from our paychecks before we ever saw them. If the Democrats had not taken the SS from the trust and put them in the general funds, we would have been able to draw much more than what we ended up drawing.

Hi Peter,

Here's a great 1-minute video I found at http://www.rushlimbaugh.com ...and even if some people reading this forum aren't fans of Rush Limbaugh, this video from a Hungarian immigrant who succeeded at the American Dream, when not speaking English when he moved here 56 years ago...is the real deal about socialism and why it doesn't work...he paid for this himself, and that speaks volumes about hard work, and how anyone from any country can accomplish their dreams, without being coddled and expecting this country to give them something for nothing...Thomas Peterffy is a great example for people who were born here, not trying, and people who come here, and expect USA to become bilingual...if other immigrants can make it, everyone can make it!

Hi Evelyn,

Thanks for a series of excellent articles (including those after this article) but I chose this one to quote cos of the fallacy and lie the MSM and the Dems are trying to force feed the American people that B Hussein won the last debate.

There is no doubt that Romney won this debate even though this was the most biased debate of the three so far. The moderator not only force fed B Hussein loaded questions she also lied in his favor which she later retracted.

In my next post I'm adding an article and some comments of my own which compliment this post and is also a very interesting read. The only problem is that the addicted entitlement and freebie lovers won't read it but rather continue living and believing the lies MSM is passing on as facts. I wish it wasn't so but we know you can't fix stupid.

Shalom,

Peter
