wow a new failed campaign promise…. im so shocked….
Its just funny that people voted for him at this point
Obama lies.
Drat.
Obama is the nicest pathologically dishonest person i’ve ever cmet.
I’d be glad to get a 50% pay raise from my company and then have them freeze it for 3 years
The more things “change” the more they are the “same.”
“Well,” Robert Gibbs says, “by coming out against a spending freeze back then, the President was really campaigning in favor of a partial freeze on out of control federal spending, since he understands that our current level of spending is unsustainable, so he, really, is ah ah very much in favor of fiscal resposibility. Furthermore, look, ah, we inherited a problem the depths of which we did not, and no one did at the time, fully understand. So, in retrospect, anything he said during the campaign is today inoperative.”
The Pinocchio nose reaches from coast to coast and across the world. This is the biggest pathological liar in the history of the world. It seems that a qualification to be in this administration or in Congress is to take some stupid pill. This man is an idiot.
To everyone who thought electing a Democrat instead of a Republican would magically change things… wake up, retards. The only positive change he has accomplished is compliments of his skin color; that’s it. The only reason he was chosen over McCain was because of his skin color (and McCain’s retarded Palin decision…) I’d love to see Obama and the Democrats cooperate with the Republicans and actually change something for the benefit of this country and its people. I’d also love to see a car that has 900 horsepower and gets 250 miles per gallon, and terrorism disappear without any further lives lost, and…………….
Joe Wilson had it right when he said “you lie.” President Clueless is so devoid of ideas that he has to steal the ideas of others who he disagreed with in order to get a decent one….Whether it be healthcare debates on C-Span, issues dealing with the economy, no bid contracts, pledges of
transparency, co-operation on a bi-partisan basis-it doesn’t matter. Perhaps the new mantra should be,” read his lips, he’s lying.”
The general cluelessness of this administration is baffling. Obama’s flip flop on this issue (clearly in response to the MA election) is bad enough, but not understanding that stories/video’s like this will pop up shows incredible incompetence.
Would it be too difficult to just come out and say “Things have changed, McCain was right, based on current deficits, we DO need an across the board freeze except for….” Would have put the issue behind him before it broke out.
Now he either looks like a liar or just plain lost for ideas.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Palin.
