To Lie or Not To Lie

Is President Obama lying in order to secure the passage of this health care plan?

Well, He said that AARP endorses the bill. AARP says no, but they do favor reform.

He says that each individual is overpaying by $6,000 than any other country. Fact Check says:

In fact, the U.S. spends about $7,000 per person per year in total, according to OECD figures. We spend about $2,500 more per person than the next highest-spending country, not $6,000.

Finally, he says that he hasn't been in favor of a single payer system for all the nation. Nor did he say it would take time to get there either. But when you watch the uncut version of the video of him saying he does. Well....watch the video.

Now what does proponent mean? Well according to Dictionary.com:

1. a person who puts forward a proposition or proposal.
2. a person who argues in favor of something; an advocate.
3. a person who supports a cause or doctrine; adherent.

Well, in the words of the church lady, "Isn't that special."

So, is he lying or just bending the truth because absolute truth is passe?

Now, his White House is saying that all the Town Hall raucous is because of the cable news (Fox news to be accurate - since they won't be). They are calling the "dissidents" a manufactured crowd that does not reflect the thoughts of America. Oh really?

Is that why the latest Rasmussen polls continually show that support for the health care bill is crashing to just below 40%? Is that why such said poll is showing that the honeymoon is fading with our President as his approval ratings plummet to under 50%?

It could not be because he is fibbing to us, could it? I have taught my kids that lying if wrong.

There are six things the Lord hates — no, seven things he detests:

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family. Proverbs 6:16-19 (NLT)

I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. Psalms 101:7 (NLT)

If a ruler pays attention to liars, all his advisers will be wicked. Proverbs 29:12 (NLT)

A lying tongue hates its victims, and flattering words cause ruin. Proverbs 26:28 (NLT)
