he just finds it difficult to tell the truth when the facts do not match what he NEEDS at the time.

"In his supposedly nonfiction memoir, "Dreams From My Father," Obama claims he and the girlfriend got into a "big fight" after seeing a New York play by a black writer. He became annoyed when she allegedly asked "why black people were so angry all the time."
Obama biographer David Maraniss contacted the former girlfriend, Genevieve Cook, who insists the scene never took place. She says they never even saw a show by a black playwright.
Maraniss, who works for the Washington Post, snagged an interview with the president and asked him about the discrepancy. Obama agreed with Cook's account.
So why did he make up the anecdote? He told Maraniss it was a "useful theme to make about sort of the interactions that I had in the relationships with white girlfriends."
How convenient — especially when the overall theme of his bitter memoir is white racism."

"Obama told another whopper in his autobiography. He wrote that while thumbing through a copy of Life magazine, he came across a story about a black man who underwent chemical treatments to lighten his skin. He claims he recoiled in horror at the photo of the bleached man, who looked like "an albino."
Then he says he got so angry that "I felt my face and neck get hot." He was upset that blackness was so condemned in America that a black man would resort to making himself white.
Only, that story wasn't true, either. Life never published such an article."

"Obama also grossly exaggerates his own battles with racism while attending a mostly white prep school in Honolulu.
He wrote that he commiserated with his only black friend, a character named "Ray." The Chicago Tribune tracked down the real guy, a half-Japanese Hawaiian named Keith Kakugawa, and found they never even talked about race.
"The idea that his biggest struggle was race is (bull)," Kakugawa said."

"After graduating from Columbia University, Obama says he took a Manhattan job in an unidentified "consulting house to international corporations," where he acted as "a spy behind enemy lines." In fact, he worked for a small newsletter publisher"

Now, add to that he lied openly about a number of things relative to the Health Care bill....transparent discussion, would involve cutting costs of health care, tort reform, etc, etc.
I know it is irritating for those who support him to read this all the time,but these are INDISPUTABLE FACTS, not opinions.
I realize that nobody is perfect......no candidate is perfect....but does this not bother anyone but me. He lied in his
own autobiography...he lied to the nation on a very very important thing which is now before the Supreme Court and because of the political nature and backroom deals it might get overturned.....there are a lot of folks that finally got coverage from this bill that now stand to lose it and it is HIS fault.
I am not sure we want a president who lies so easily and it does not seem to bother him. He has supporters who refuse to discuss the issues that are so urgent in this campaign, but are counting numbers in the crowd as some sort of special event....counting Romneys money...where it is.
Ok...will give everyone a break and get out of here, but where we are going with leadership like this is bothersome.
