Do you honestly think the "stimulus" had anything to do with stimulating the economy? It was a collection of democrat pet projects.
Do you have ANY understanding of how the government works in the USA? Or, are you simply lying to promote your political cause? And such democratic pet projects as road and bridge expansions/constructions in my backyard here in Texas, no?

I will always lose if I try to engage on emotional grounds that happens to be the hallmark of the right wingers. So, allow me to try and push a little harder, asking for logical grounds... somewhere in the middle will work just fine! Thanks in advance.

Now, you say that...
- Obama promised to close Gitmo
- He did not close Gitmo

Hence, according to you, he lied. Okay, do you understand what it would take for a President of the USA to get something he believes in, to fruition? Push personal agenda? He did sign an executive order on Jan 22, 2009, to close Gitmo, didn't he? At that point, the right wingers including you were screaming foul and "dictatorship", weren't you? Or, were you happy that he was trying to keep his promise and that Gitmo should be closed?

I don't doubt that some of the money was used for stuff like bridges and roads. I think there was an awful lot of pork in that bill, though. I think he campaigned for it under false pretenses.

What is your understanding of the Executive Branch of the US government? Let us start there.

No surprise there.
Did they misquote or something?

But what about obama's words, that are easily proven to be LIES.

Refute the proof.

And lately, the president has been lying so much that his pants could burst into flames at any moment."

He's a lawyer, isn't he? The answer is obvious then.

Obama bashers believe everything bad about Obama is the truth.
