Looks like dime bag Barry dimed it in last night with his dime a dozen cliches.
The only way to turn the economy around on a dime is to get off the dime with these speeches that aren’t worth a dime and begin a March of dimes campaign.
Truman once said, “The buck stops here.” Obama will be known for stopping the economy on a dime. And that’s just my ten cents, which these days probably isn’t worth a plug nickel.

Big, fat liar lies. Film at 11. /sarc

What the heck were people expecting anyway? It’s not like Barack Obama has any real accomplishments to talk about.

He delivers the message out of context. He took office Jan 09, not 10. Would be similar to saying “if you don’t count the fact we scored only 2 points in the 1st quarter, we won that basketball game!”…he can’t only own partial term data…

hillsoftx on February 13, 2013 at 1:08 PM

Yeah, it’s out of context. But it’s also correct and not a lie. I just remember getting all mad when Politifact takes something a conservative says that is true, then provides context and declares the statement false, even though the statement is actually factually correct. Obama said manufacturing jobs increased 500k over the past 3 years which is 100% absolutely accurate and correct. To call it a lie is a bit ridiculous.

But it’s whatever, I guess. I’ll just filter the info at HA taking its lens into account like I do with every other media outlet from now on I guess.

RW Wacko on February 13, 2013 at 1:39 PM

He didn’t say it was a lie. He said Obama cherry-picked the number. It was, in fact, a perfect example of cherry-picking.

You don’t get to change someone’s words and then argue against your version. That’s what Liberals do.

More stimulus? The $800 BILLION so-called stimulus has been added to the budget baseline ever since it was first passed so Obama is getting his damn stimulus every year. Tell him to stick his head where the sun don’t shine. Charlemagne on February 13, 2013 at 11:32 AM

Actually, he needs to pull it out of there.

How does Obama’s statement qualify as “an even bigger fib”. He says manufacturing jobs went up 500k in the last 3 years. In fact, they did go up by 500k over the past 3 years. So that is a lie? What are we, Politifact now?

Obama lies so much we don’t have to look silly inventing lies and getting all upset about it.

I’ve completely lost interest in the commonplace forms of political analysis or response to Obama. It implies a commonlaceness that doesn’t exist, and is a stupid delusion.

I am only interested in comprehension, confrontation and survival at this point. That is, if you cannot comprehend the violent and perfidious pathology of the Left, and if you cannot directly confront it in the political and media theater, then you are putting a risk the survival of the country.

Country Singer Steve Earle sings a song called ‘Snake Oil Blues’, which Obama evidently patterned his 2013 State Of The Union Speech from. In Earle’s song, the lyrics state:

“Ladies and gentlemen, attention please
Come in close so everyone can see
I got a tale to tell
A listen don’t cost a dime
And if you believe that we’re gonna get along just fine…

If you ain’t impressed yet, just tell me what you wanna hear…

I can heal the sick, I can mend the lame
And the blind shall see again, it’s all the same

Well ain’t your President good to you
Knocked ‘em dead in Libya, Grenada too
Now he’s taking his show a little further down the line
Well, ‘tween me and him people, you’re gonna get along just fine!”

Is there anyone out there, and if so please reply back to me, that is STUPID enough to still believe A SINGLE WORD this man says!?

ANYONE? If you’re out there please tell me why you still believe what he says and as a follow up question, just how many times are you willing to be lied to and still believe what someone says?

Please enlighten me here.

Obama lies, even when his lips are not moving.

He lies.

And, seems most who voted in the past two national elections could not care one bit less that Obama lies.

So long as they get free stuff, no matter what the cost, even if they are not supposed to get free stuff, like Obamaphones…they love the idea that to love Obama means they are striking a blow to The Man.

Pundits and bloggers can fact-check until the cows come home…and it will not make a bit of difference.

Lying to America is now that new standard of excellence…so long as the electorate gets free stuff, or a chance to stick it to The Man, nothing else really matters. Not Benghazi, not a nuclear capable North Korea or Iran, (Obama personally killed Osama, if you recall.) He is a God. He is the Light Worker. He is the Alpha and the Omega of all that is good and holy and “fair” and progressive.

So, what’s a few new lies on top of the old lies, really?

Actually, I was saying the exact opposite but was being kind by lumping me in, too. Basically that everyone at HA has become part of an echo chamber, much like the Koskids. Taking crap out of context, bs factchecking, screaming down anyone who disagrees. Miss the old HA where it was factual and not hyperpartisan (at least toward the Dems). I will just stick to Allah’s posts from now on and ignore the other crap.
