Hot Air
5 Big Whoppers From President Obama
We've seen some record cold this winter in DC, but over at the White House there's been no lack of hot air.
Here are five of this winter's biggest whoppers from President Obama:
1. "We are always interested in promoting jobs here in the U.S. I'll go anywhere and do anything in terms of creating good American jobs" (2/26/15).
The Facts: This outrageous claim came just days after President Obama vetoed a bipartisan bill to approve the broadly popular Keystone XL pipeline. The president's own State Department says Keystone XL will support at least 42,000 American jobs.
2. "ISIL is on the defensive…" (2/11/15).
The Facts: This week ISIL "abducted at least 70 Christians, including women and children, after overrunning a string of villages in northeastern Syria," USA TODAY reports. The terror group is expanding into Libya, attackers recently infiltrated an Iraqi base where U.S. troops are stationed, and even members of the President's own Party are now talking about "mixed messages," "a lack of confidence" and the need for the administration to put forward "an effective winning strategy" to defeat these barbaric Islamic extremists.
3. "If we were just rewriting the immigration laws, then the other side would have a case. We can't violate statutes… what we can do is make choices to implement those laws" (2/25/15).
The Facts: President Obama desperately wants to justify his unilateral actions on immigration. Unfortunately for the president, he's admitted at least 22 times that he didn't have the authority to do exactly what he eventually did.
4. Healthcare.gov "is working flawlessly" (12/15/14).
The Facts: The ObamaCare train wreck continues to pile up as families struggle with higher costs, fewer options, and a website plagued with problems. The administration now admits it sent 800,000 Americans erroneous tax forms through Healthcare.gov, POLITICO reports the website is "a mess" and "still isn't properly wired," and last month the Associated Press learned Healthcare.gov "is quietly sending consumers' personal data to private companies that specialize in advertising."
5. "I have no more campaigns to run" (1/20/15).
The Facts: For the Obama administration it's all politics all the time. That's why he's pushing "middle-class economics" that don't actually help the middle class, that's why he didn't dare buck the radical left-wing environmentalists who oppose Keystone XL, and that's why he went down to Miami this week to "blame" "attack" and "ratchet up pressure" on Republicans while doing absolutely nothing to help break Senate Democrats' filibuster on a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
