Obama Lies Again. And The Sun Sets In The West

One wonders why politicians lie. Do they think the public is stupid? Do they think the main stream media won't check the facts? Is it in their DNA? Is it all above?
Well, President Obama got caught in another lie when he told Bill O'Reilly that he never raised taxes and actually lowered taxes.
From Fox News: "A taxpayer watchdog group is throwing a penalty flag on President Obama's assertion in a Super Bowl pre-game interview that he didn't raise taxes, claiming the president signed into law at least two dozen tax increases.
"Just 16 days into his presidency, Obama signed into law a 156 percent increase in the federal excise tax on tobacco -- a hike of 62 cents per pack," Americans for Tax Reform said in a press release Monday, arguing that Obama's approval of this tax hike was a violation on his campaign pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class.
Seeking to burnish his centrist credentials, President Obama told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly Sunday that he "didn't raise taxes once."

Further: "President Obama's entire claim of being a net tax-cutter rests merely upon the temporary tax relief he has signed into law," the group said. "The tax increases Obama has signed into law have invariably been permanent. In fact, Obama has signed into law $7 in permanent tax hikes for every $1 in permanent tax cuts."
The group estimates that the permanent changes to tax law Obama signed totals a net tax hike of $618.7 billion.

Anybody who believes that Obama never has raised taxes are just ignorant, and there are people out there who will be believe this, or they will excuse his lying by saying everyone does it or the GOP did it worse.

Of course this President Obama's and his kool aide drinking followers favorite movie.
