Obama Lies Again

Although admittedly this particular lie might just be caused by his LACK of knowledge of our history. He said, “The Congress has NEVER attached non-budget items to debt-ceiling negotiations” and that’s a lie. “In 1973, when [Republican-RT] Richard Nixon was president, Democrats in the Senate, including Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. Walter Mondale (D-Minn.), sought to attach a campaign finance reform bill to the debt ceiling after the Watergate-era revelations about Nixon’s fundraising during the 1972 election. (Wash. Post) Note that it was DEMOCRATS who did it and now a DEMOCRAT president is decrying the action, saying it is “extortion.” If so, they got the idea from Democrats. It is NOT “unprecedented,” and we now know it. (The Blaze)

Anon: You're right. But since he gets free TV time any time he asks for it, and he controls the liberal media, the country will THINK the Republicans did it.

Of course he gets everything free. He is one of the "gimme-dats".
