Obama on divisive politics: “We will end it by telling the truth”
- Posted by Beth on May 7th, 2008 filed in 2008 election, Barack Obama, General, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Moonbats, Politics, Stupid, WTF
During last night’s speech in North Carolina, Barack Obama said the following, referring to the divisive way the political game is played:
We will end it not by duplicating the same tactics and the same strategies as the other side, because that will lead us down the same path of polarization and of gridlock.
We will end it by telling the truth.
We will end it by telling the truth forcefully, repeatedly, confidently, and by trusting that the American people will embrace the need for change, even if it’s coming from an imperfect messenger, because that’s how we’ve — that’s — because that’s how we’ve always changed this country, not from the top down, but from the bottom up, when you, the American people, decide that the stakes are too high and the challenges are too great.
FAIL. You’ve been fact-checked, Barry.
You’re going to tell the truth, Barack? What, did you decide suddenly to turn over a new leaf?
See, he can keep repeating this lie and play divisive politics himself by painting all of his opponents as “fear mongers” and racists, but he’s not fooling me with his rhetorical gymnastics. Here’s how he rolls:
* Opponent points out his faults, whether it’s his far-left agenda, his lackluster Chicago Democrat political record (that shows nothing resembling “change,” “unity,” or “hope”), or his history of alliances with radical leftists.
* Obama says this is divisive, and a distraction from the issues.
* Obama lies about his opponent’s record and agenda.
* Obama surrogates pile on, calling opponents racists.
* Obama surrogates/supporters lie about and attack the other candidates, and repeat absurd and demonstrably false accusations about them. (AKA “libel.”)
* Opponents are called “divisive” for drawing attention to Obama’s actual history.
* Obama surrogates claim that it’s all a smokescreen for what’s really just fear of a black President.
You tell me–who’s being divisive, if he and his supporters aren’t?
When IS he going to start telling the truth?

its hard to ever tell the truth when you are such a stinkin liar and your wife is such a tragic whiner.

Intelligent, great post!
ironpacker says:
I still can’t figure how a Chicago Dem Machine hack with a rolling paper thin resume, no legislative accomplishments, and a Marxist harpy wife is going to change anything for the better.
The only reason he has gotten this far is because Hillary has run an inept campaign and the MSM is totally in the tank for him.

[...] 2. Why do you demand one set of rules for opponents, but live by the complete opposite of those rules? Why do you demand civility from your opponent, then you attack him, distort his record and send out surrogates to question his integrity? Are you a liar, a hypocrite, or both? [...]
