Obama: Punishing Political Opponents and Lying

Barack Obama: "It shouldn't be Democratic or Republican to say you don't try to punish political opponents. Or threaten the freedom of the press just because you don't like what they say." https://t.co/mFwJQCgqdX pic.twitter.com/3ueVD5yvtR

Obama has been running around saying stuff that completely contradicts his past statements and actions. That is so wrong. He's not allowed to rewrite history.

Here he's preaching decency, honesty, and lawfulness in political life. He has the audacity to preach about not lying.

Obama told a lie of epic proportions, a lie that will live in infamy.

Obama's Big, BIG LIE:

And that means, no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away, no matter what.

Of course, there are so many other lies, too many to mention.

Obama is painting himself as above the fray. That, of course, is not the case, not even close.

In 2010, Obama used the phrase "punish our enemies," enemies being Republicans, such as John McCain.

Obama said, "If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, 'We're gonna PUNISH OUR ENEMIES and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,' if they don't see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it's gonna be harder and that's why I think it's so important that people focus on voting on November 2."

As president, again and again, Obama tried to divide the country. And he succeeded. Such an ugly legacy.
