Video: Obama lies again about the Surge

The guy is a pathological liar…Can you trust someone who’s lied over and over and over again in plain public without reservation?  I can’t…

Brian Williams specifically asks him about the surge and if it was a success.  Obama snickers and says (at the 6:00 mark):

What I said was even at the time of the debate of the surge, was if you put 30,000 troops in, of course it’s going to have an impact. There’s no doubt about that. The question is, does it solve our larger strategic questions and do the costs involved, uh, do they outweigh the benefits.”

But I guess he forgot about what he said last year when the surge was being discussed:
(32 seconds)

“I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there in fact I think it will do the reverse. I think it takes pressure off the Iraqis to arrive at the sort of political accommodation that every observer believes is the ultimate solution to the problems we face there. So I am going to actively oppose the president’s proposal… I think he is wrong.”

  1. I’m glad you got this dweeb figured out,  Unfortunately, I think there are altogether too many people who have not.

  2. Can you imagine DAY ONE with this double minded bi-polar guy with a silver tongue.  Now what did you just say?  Mr. Obama you said you said, but now you say you didn’t say, and NOW YOU SAY  ”let me get back with you after I speak with Michelle, as you know it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind.  MO may have something different to say on the matter.   Just wait, I have to take the kids to the park, Michelle needs to get her hair & nails done.  We can’t just drop everything and have a press conference.  This is what I hired my cabinet for.  That’s the trouble with these ________ they don’t want to work!”
    Yea, but. . . when are we going forward? . . . with this energy bill?  You said on DAY ONE it’s now DAY ONE HUNDRED AND YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND - ONE HUNDRED TIMES.  Too many decisions, too little time!
