"Pants on Fire"

I’m sure most of us have memories of fights with our siblings where much yelling and name-calling took place. I remember my poor Mom acting as referee in these encounters. When she took control of the situation, we would stand across from each other and were made to apologize to one another, “Brothers and sisters should never fight, now say you’re sorry!” We would look at each other and grudgingly apologize, never meaning it, but doing it to stay out of trouble and an intervention from our Dad. After my Mom left the room there was often quiet names called and tongues stuck out in defiance; we didn’t really apologize.

I used to watch COURT TV before it changed, and I remember scenes of defendants making statements before the judge and injured families saying how much they regret the actions they committed and sought mercy from the judge in his sentencing for their crimes. Most of the time, I didn’t believe those apologies, as they were self-serving and sounded rehearsed rather than heartfelt; just a ploy for the judge.

Most criminals are compulsive liars and I’m sure any experienced judge can see right through the phony apologies they hear on a daily basis. Some criminals are so well schooled in untruth it is difficult for the average person to detect the lies of these experts.

Compulsive liars can lie and sound contrite, smile and walk away, and be sure they have fooled just about everybody they have spoken too!

Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time!” Old Abe was a pretty sharp guy when it came to knowing people, especially the American people. We can all be fooled on occasion, but we don’t often get fooled by the same liar more than once.

Over four years ago we began hearing about Obamacare from the President, Barack Hussein Obama, in endless speeches about the merits of his program, of how it would be a wonderful benefit for all Americans and would remedy the healthcare shortcomings of our current system; and to top it off, he said it would cost you less than your current insurance and if you didn’t like it, you could retain your current insurance and your current doctor; he never stated any proviso about you coverage having to comply with the Obamacare standards, NEVER SAID THAT!

Today President Barack Obama is on a mission to try to recant the thousands of “untruths” he spoke in regards to his health care initiative.

Today, hundreds of thousands of Americans are looking for new doctors, new insurance policies and in some cases new jobs because of the high cost of Obamacare. America has been thrown into a cesspool of government ineptitude in the handling of Obamacare, and Barack Obama is at the epicenter of all of it.

No matter how much Mr. Obama tries to distance himself from this disaster, it all belongs to him, and he is trying to twist the truth to wiggle out of his purposeful deceptions about Obamacare.

I remember a saying when I was a boy, “Liar, liar, pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone wire!” I believe Mr. Obama’s nose is growing and there is a fire in his shorts; what do you think?
