I am saying this with the utmost seriousness. With other speakers it can become a parlor game to spot the falsehood. With Barack Obama it is a parlor game to identify the true statement. A needle in a haystack exercise that can be downright laborious.
Right out the gate we can overlook the sitting US Senator who inherited the mess BS.
You saved the auto industry? I disagree.
Took on a broken health care system? Agree. You did take it on. If that is the depth of your claim, we can award one Non-Pinnoccio.
Invested in new technologies to reduce our addiction to foreign oil? Rephrased: You lined the pockets of political contributors and INCREASED our dependence on foreign oil (unless you call killing our access to Canadian oil decreasing our dependence on foreign oil.) The domestic oil industry has slightly decreased our dependence on foreign oil with zero help from you.
The tax code was skewed in favor of the wealthy. BLATANT FALSEHOOD. Tell us what tax burden the top 1% or the top 5% or the top 10% or the top 20% or top 50% shoulder. Each answer is politically incorrect. Each answer contradicts the president's assertion.
"Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in fifty years." Really? Am I going to take the bait and fact check that statement? I suspect that it is false but I do not have the time or stamina to fact check every drop of a tsunami of duplicity.
"And our deficits are falling at the fastest rate in sixty years." No matter how you cherry pick the statistics, this statement is false.
We are at just 0:58 in the speech and the president has already delivered a Nixon-month of deception.
At 1:42 the recycled slogans are again paraded before us. We took our eye off the ball. "...an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals..." Here's the cyanide pill in the pig dung Cracker Jack box. This statement was a taunt. To those of you who are offended by the death of four good Americans and the ridiculous Youtube explanation for the attack and the ongoing cover-up, here is the president's middle finger just millimeters from your nose. If Barack Obama's essence could be reduced to six seconds of monologue, this would be it, folks. This would be it.
This shows Obama's effort to polarize. Our country's ever-deepening divides are orchestrated by the president. The rancor is less a case of evolution and more a case of intelligent design. Our republic has survived a lot but I am not sure it will survive a president who mocks and taunts the populace.
The teleprompter runs for almost another three minutes. Feel free to watch it and have fun spotting the hidden accuracies (if there are any.)
