On February 12, 2009, Barack Obama made a speech in Peoria Illinois, gathering support for his stimulus plan. Here is a cut and paste quote of Barack Obama’s exact words taken from Lynn Sweet’s Sun Times article covering the speech:
“Yesterday, Jim (Owens), the head of Caterpillar, said that if Congress passes our plan this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.”
Not exactly, Barry Baby.
Minutes later network television reporters cornered Jim Owens on live TV, the President of Caterpillar, about how soon Caterpillar would start rehiring and how many would be rehired as a result of Barry spending $787 billion of money we would have to borrow on our credit cards from China.
Mr. Owens said that actually, regardless of what happens with the stimulus package, Caterpillar would have to lay off many more employees before ever beginning any rehiring.
And this is my problem with Barack Obama. He tells whooper lies, Obama says anything, absolutely anything no matter how outrageous, to help his campaigns, with no regard to the truth.
Didn’t Brainless Barry realize that the media were all over the speech site? After all, Barry invited them?
Didn’t Brainless Barry realize that the media were highly likely, in fact almost certain to ask the president of Caterpillar about Barry’s claim of immediate new jobs?
Barry just cannot think anything through. Barry cannot comprehend the consequences of his words and promises, just like when he promised that tax cheat Tim Geithner was the only person who could save the financial system, with the consequence that when Geithner opened his mouth and had no plan, nothing at all to say whatsoever, the investors ran for the hills and the stock market resumed crashing.
Barack Obama, you have to grow up and stop saying any lie that jumps out of your hare brain.
