He's unbelievable

Literally. Even the Associated Press, the New York Times, and the love-sick Tom Shales admit that Obama misrepresents, falsifies, and, in Shales' case, spreads propaganda on healthcare reform.

Now, after Reid and Pelosi have thrown in their respective towels (for now) on destroying our medical system, Obama pretends that it's all good, that this isn't a massive setback or an embarrassment for him.

He's so disconnected from the truth that he can say, "You haven’t seen me out there blaming the Republicans," just a few minutes after saying this:

I understand how easy it is for this town to become consumed in the game of politics – to turn every issue into running tally of who’s up and who’s down. I’ve heard that one Republican strategist told his party that even though they may want to compromise, it’s better politics to “go for the kill.” Another Republican Senator said that defeating health reform is about “breaking” me.

It's reached the point where we have no expectation that he'll tell the truth at any time, on any subject. His lying is so commonplace that it's hardly worth mentioning anymore.

But this is jaw-dropping:



Well, that last bit is true: he is the president.

Read the intelligent commentary at Hot Air while I recover from this breathtaking arrogance.

*Update: Wish I had seen this post by Pat Austin sooner, and not just because she linked to mine. She goes through what she could bear of Wednesday's press conference and filters out Obama's bigger lies and misleading statements. Excerpt:

Certainly we all saw and heard somewhat different things in that speech last night, but what I saw, and what breaks my heart, was the President of the United States on national television lying to the American people. Intentionally. Over and over and over. I saw him slander American medical professionals. I saw him attempt to lead us into his dark cavern of primitive health care with his talk of centralized records and bureaucracies and Orwellian decision making.

For the moment, ignore the silly opening where he boasts of the success of the stimulus, repeats the "saved or created" mantra and bashes the successful and the wealthy.

Creating-or-saving never gets old! Nor does Bush-blaming, which I also counted at least three times.

Comments welcome.
