Politicians are infamous for bending words to create misdirection without actually lying.
This time, Obama lied...outright:
Obama...referred for the first time to an alleged “fully automatic weapon” involved in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
That rifle Lanza used was nothing more than a simple semi auto, just like the vast majority of firearms out there. It was NOT a 'fully automatic' weapon.
And please, don't give us that shit that he 'misspoke'. He damn well knows the difference and if he doesn't, he has no business talking about laws concerning firearms.
Shameful.
Obama: Newtown children killed with 'fully automatic weapon' | The Daily Caller
You know what is really shameful is the BIGGEST LIE..
The BIG LIE is this: ON August 21, 2009 Obama said: "We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children,"
46 Million Uninsured: A Look Behind The Number : NPR
WHAT 46 million?
GIVEN: The Census bureau says
10 million of the 46 million "uninsured' are not citizensÂ…
leaving 36 millionÂ… NOT 46 million! 10 million are NOT CITIZENS yet Obama counts them as "uninsured"! BOGUS!
Source:
Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2009 - Income & Wealth - Newsroom - U.S. Census Bureau
GIVEN:
14 million are eligible for Medicaid..but they are counted as "uninsured"Â…. leaving 22 millionÂ…

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association contracted with the Actuarial Research Corporation (ARC) to provide a detailed analysis of the uninsured identified by the Census Bureau, which found:
- Of the 44.7 million
non-elderly uninsured individuals identified in the 2004 Census Current Population Survey (CPS) data,
nearly one-third — almost 14 million — were reachable through existing government
health programs such as Medicaid and the State ChildrenÂ’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) under current rules.
REACHABLE meaning all these people had to do was enroll! NO money. NO risks! Just enroll!
So far we've reduced the 46 million by 10 million NON-Citizens, 14 million that simply had to enroll as they were covered by Medicaid!
That leaves 22 million!
The last time I checked as an American I had the right to buy health insurance if I wanted to! That is MY RIGHT!
18 million people declaring that right are under age 34, making over $50,000 a year decided it is cheaper just to pay out of pocket their
health needs then take up their employers' health plan.
Folks.. these are people who don't like to be called "free-loaders"! Their credit rating depends on their paying their bills so they are not the ones that
are the cause for hospitals absorbing the costs!
When you subtract 18 million from 22 million that leaves 4 MILLION that truly want and need health insurance! NOT 46 million!
YET THIS BIG LIE is destroying the health financing system for 98.7% of Americans that want or don't need health insurance!
This LIE is now causing insurance rates to climb by 2017 122%!
This LIE was told also by Obama..
"I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family's premium by up to $2,500 a year."
Sources: Speech, "A Politics of Conscience," June 23, 2007
YET instead of going down.. the average family policy is going up to, $5,500!!
BIG OBAMA LIE:"If you like your health-care plan, you keep your health-care plan. Nobody is going to force you to leave your health-care plan. If you like your doctor, you keep seeing your doctor. I don't want government bureaucrats meddling in your health care."
FACT: 16,500 new government bureaucrats needed!
In 2010, House Ways and Means Committee Republicans issued a report saying the IRS may need as many as 16,500 additional auditors, agents and other employees "to investigate and collect billions in new taxes from Americans.
If he ever did that his whole administration would be in a coma.
