The goal was the result, which was to demonize Republicans in the media, and divert from the present political crisis. And the dutiful C-D libs repeated it as did all the media democrats who put party first and truth last.
With all the lies our President has had to endure these last 5 years, it may be about time they start playing the same game. I know lying occurs in politics, but the Republicans have gone overboard w/this President. Perhaps what you say really is what happened, we'll never know. And re' crisis, are you really talking about the ACA website issues? Please look up the difficulty President G.W. Bush went through when they got their Medicare part D in place.

Yes the 24 hour news stations repeat what appears to be news. What has been forgotten is how to really investigate a story before announcing it. Now the liberal and conservative stations have to provide something every minute of the day. Today they get rich off misinformation, in the old days people got fired.

If the President didn't deny the statement I would be concerned for that, as lies do tarnish one's reputation. I just want to let this man govern freely in his ELECTED office.
The BIGGEST LIES have been from that White House and out of this President's OWN MOUTH.

Please furnish what lies you refer to, just to say it doesn't prove it.

Give Obama credit for saying it wasn't true. Assuming he knew the WH released that statement.

If this isn't a concerted effort to keep the devisive politics going, I don't know what is. This was simply an inside look at how this White House and DEMs in particular are stirring the pot trying to cause contention in between Congressmen, Senators and the voting public. That is the story. And it is shameful.


Good summation.

Reality.

The difference is one is fiction and one is reality.

A Republican never told Obama that he can't even look at his face.

Although rude to interrupt in such a fashion, technically, Joe Wilson was correct that Obama was not telling the truth.

Isn't truth a defense for libel. Can't we call a liar a liar in this representative democracy?

Durbin is a dirtbag. He would do it again if asked. He is an IL Democrat, so he has little to fear from lying.
