The Lies Of Obama

Exclusive: Joseph Farah responds to president's 'brazen' claims on default, deficit

Did Barack Obama really say those things I heard him say yesterday – or were my ears deceiving me?

Let me count the lies and deceptions in this rather brief address:

• “Because Democrats and responsible Republicans came together, the first government shutdown in 17 years is now over. The first default in more than 200 years will not happen.”A default was never a possibility unless Obama insisted on default to punish the American people for not listening to him – the same way he punished them by closing national parks and monuments and prohibiting priests from serving Communion to Catholic soldiers under threat of arrest. The Republican House specifically put forth a bill to take default off the table. The Democratic Senate refused to vote on it. Obama was the author of the default lie from the beginning. He was the only one who kept threatening it.


• “These last few weeks have inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy. We don’t know yet the full scope of the damage, but every analyst out there believes it slowed our growth.”What? This is Obama coming up with a new excuse for the failing economy he created. Indeed it will get worse. But it will get worse because Congress refused to kill Obamacare, cut spending and freeze borrowing. Obama’s business-as-usual approach to government is what is killing the economy.


• “We know that just the threat of default – of America not paying all the bills that we owe on time – increased our borrowing costs, which adds to our deficit.”Who was it that threatened default? No Republican ever did. Obama did. Harry Reid did. Obama’s state-run media did. Default was never even a remote possibility unless Obama decided willfully not to service the interest on America’s loan obligations. That could have been done without raising the debt limit. In fact, it would have been much cheaper to do so. Increasing the debt to pay the interest on the debt is fiscally irresponsible.
