Today President Obama told Senate Democrats that they had faced "enormous procedural obstacles that are unprecedented.."
"You had to cast more votes to break filibusters last year than in the entire 1950s and 1960s combined. That's 20 years of obstruction jammed into just one."
This is astonishing. A filibuster is the successful use of 41 or more votes to prevent the closing of debate. There wasn't a single filibuster in 2009. Not one.
The president will say anything to advance a narrative that makes him a victim of obstruction.
Gateway Pundit, commenting on the same story:
Is this guy honest about anything?
It’s come to the point where you have to take every Obama quote and fact-check it yourself to find out if it’s true. Unfortunately, the corrupt Obamedia won’t do their job and correct this horribly dishonest man. You have to do it yourself. It’s an Obama world.
It's like living in a communist state or banana republic where everything the Dear Leader says is taken at face value for fear of arrest and execution if questions are raised. The difference here is that the Western media face no personal risk whatsoever for telling the truth. That they allow so many blatant lies from the President to go unchallenged is a testament to their extreme bias, their extreme cowardice, or both.
I have reached the point where nothing Obama says strikes me as truth. If he said the sky was blue, I'd rush outside just to check.
