A weak and destructive president

The Atheist Conservative breaks down the lies in Obama's recent Illinois speech. A few excerpts: "I complained plenty about Fox News – but you never heard me threaten to shut them down, or call them enemies of the people."

We did hear that his administration “spied on members of the media, illegally seizing the phone records of Associated Press journalists. Fox News reporter James Rosen called Obama ‘the greatest enemy of press freedom in a generation’ after being threatened with possible jail time for refusing to reveal one of his sources”. (See our quotations from Matt Margolis below.)

Next, he endorses the lie that President Trump sympathizes with Nazis:

"We’re supposed to stand up to discrimination. And we’re sure as heck supposed to stand up, clearly and un"equivocally, to Nazi sympathizers.

How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad."

How hard can it be to say that Islamic terrorism is bad? That Communism is bad? Too hard for him, it appeared.

Then comes the most blatantly impudent accusation of them all:

And we won’t win people over by calling them names, or dismissing entire chunks of the country as racist, or sexist, or homophobic."

Who, every minute of every day, calls whom “racist, or sexist, or homophobic”? Or all three?

...He lied and commanded others to lie. Under his leadership, his party worked an elaborate plot, which it still pursues, to destroy the candidacy and then the presidency of Donald Trump with false and slanderous allegations of treason.

If prizes were awarded for lying, Obama would deserve them all.
