Is Obama a liar or does he just tell you whatever he needs to to get your vote?

do you remember when Obama stated he was going to re-negotiate the free trade agreement with Canada. While campaigning in Ohio, Mr. Obama harshly criticized the North American Free Trade Agreement, which many Ohioans blame for an exodus of jobs. He agreed at a debate with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton that the United States should consider leaving the pact if it could not be renegotiated. Later a memorandum surfaced, obtained by The Associated Press, showing that Austan D. Goolsbee, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago who is Mr. Obama’s senior economic policy adviser, met officials in the previous month at the Canadian consulate in Chicago. According to the writer of the memorandum, Joseph De Mora, a political and economic affairs consular officer, Professor Goolsbee assured them that Mr. Obama’s protectionist stand on the trail was “more reflective of political maneuvering than policy.” It also said the professor had assured the Canadians that Mr. Obama’s language “should be viewed as more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans.” So when Obama speaks how can we tell if it's just political posturing and not lying.

Public Comments

1. Why do you blame Obama for the miscommunication and not Goolsbee? It seems to me Goolsbee may have misunderstood or misrepresented Obama. You may be jumping to a conclusion without fully understanding what really happened.
2. Both!
3. That's the thing, you can't tell from moment to moment whether he is making stuff up or if he honestly believes the lies he is telling.
4. Nothing obama could could get me to vote for him. I will not vote for a socialist no matter what race or gender they are.
5. Or when McCain told the American people that he and Petraus walked through the streets of Baghdad without any military cover or bulletproof vests? That the place was just a peaceful marketplace. Petraus and the Iraqi government and the military must have all been lying when they said otherwise and showed pictures of the heavily armed vehicles and men who had to escort McCain in his 1 block photo op.
6. How can you tell that any politician isn't lying? Isn't that what our government has become? All I know is that with Obama, the only way we can go is better. With McCain, we are exactly where we are now: In Hell. If McCain wins, there is something very wrong with our country.
7. Can you name one politician that isn't guilty of political posturing?
8. sounds like mis-communication between two people who didn't fully understand each other. The republicans have the same problem, Senator McCain in 2004 stood for things that Candidate McCain totally opposes today. It makes me wonder if they even know each other?
9. No, Neither
10. Almost as bad as "Mission accomplished" as stated by that dolt in the WH.
11. I think by now we all know that Obama will say anything to get elected. He'll promise the world just to hustle a few votes. He has lied about who he is what he stands for. He is arrogant and full of BS. I'm sick of ignorant people not understanding the mess they are about to be in.
12. Obama is a liar. I am simply stating a well known fact. I am sick and tired of seeing websites that post derogatory things, true things. Within minutes Obama's people have them deleted. The most recent one was just an hour or so ago. I wish that I had printed it. It links Obama with Usama Dadock, supposedly a black Baptist Church. LOL! There was a link to a website whereby a reporter was doing a telephone interview with someone to join the church. It was worse than what we learned about Trinity, only it has all been deleted from the internet, everything that has anything to do with Usama Dadock has been wiped out. Again, Obama is a liar. He is a Marxist, just like his father and his white grandfather, who introduced him to Frank, the man who was his mentor in Hawaii. Frank was a infamous Communist. Obama wrote about Frank in his books. Michelle, either unknowingly or thinking that the people of the US are dumb, used words from one of Obama's hero, Saul Alinsky. I have included that part of her speech. Saul was a Marxist. uesday, August 26, 2008 Figures. Michelle Obama Quotes Lines From "Rules For Radicals" In Her DNC Convention Speech (Updated) Figures. Michelle Obama quotes lines some radicalFar Left book in her DNC Convention speech. What to make of Michelle Obama's use the terms, “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be?” From whence do they originate? Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals. In last night's speech, Michelle Obama said something that peeked my curiousity. She said: "Barack stood up that day," talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, "and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be..." And, "All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won’t do – that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be." Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals: "The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive — but real — allies of the Haves…The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means... The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be."
13. In case you haven't noticed by now, the person who usually wins a presidential election is the one who tells the best lies.
