Last week President Obama and Britsh Prime Minister David Cameron held a joint press conference to discuss the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi the Lockerbie bomber who blew up Pan Am flight 103 murdering 243 people.
In their joint conference Obama claims he was against the release. See for yourself in the clip below.
An Australian new was investigating an oil deal that would allow for BP to drill off of Lybia's coast accidentally uncovered a memo from the Obama administration urging the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi as being preferable to him being sent to a Lybian prison.
The article states:
"The US has tried to keep the letter secret, refusing to give permission to the Scottish authorities to publish it on the grounds it would prevent future "frank and open communications" with other governments."
While the Administration preferred for Megrahi to remain in prison, they strongly opposed sending him to a Libyan prison.
"Nevertheless, if Scottish authorities come to the conclusion that Megrahi must be released from Scottish custody, the US position is that conditional release on compassionate grounds would be a far preferable alternative to prisoner transfer, which we strongly oppose."
This is the exact opposite of Obama's comments last week. In fact, this wreaks of political crony capitalism.
What is most disturbing is the blatant nature of the President's lie. Granted, it is assumed politicians are wordsmiths that don't always say what they mean, however, this is just blatant.
It is not just this lie but when one looks back at all of the lies told by this President, one has to come to the realization that he will say anything to get what he wants.

Obama The Liar - Its 1937 All Over Again
Shortly after Social Security was passed in 1935 opponents filed lawsuits based upon the constitutionality of the landmark bill.
FDR had promoted Social Security as an "insurance program" and sold it to the American people as such. However, once the case reached the Supreme Court the FDR administration argued in defense of the program that Social Security was constitutional because it was not an insurance program, moreover a tax and entitlement program.
The Supreme Court agreed in Helvering v. Davis (1937) and Social Security has been with us ever since.
Fast forward to 2009-2010, it truly is 1937 all over again.
In 2009 President Obama sat down with George Stephanopoulos on the Sunday show this week and adamantly proclaimed that the Health Care Reform bill "was not a tax".
See here for yourself:
Now, in July 2010 the New York Times (and many more news sources) report a different story. A story with bait and switch echos to the days of FDR.
According to the Times the "Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government's "power to lay and collect taxes.""
Really?! This coming from a President who we've been told taught Constitutional law?!
The President was either a lousy Constitutional scholar or he was flat out lying on ABC's This Week. By virtue of the fact that he claimed the "tax" question was not even a legitimate argument is rather shocking given how his Administration plans to defend the Constitutionality of "Obamacare."
It truly is 1937 all over again.
Seventy years later the entitlements promised in Social Security threaten out nation's financial viability. Add Medicare and all the other entitlement programs since, and now Obamacare and we have to ask ourselves how will we ever pay for this?

Michelle Obama Race Baiting with little or no proof.
Michelle Obama Visits NAACP on Eve of Tea Party Condemnation - ABC News
While some black members of congress have claimed racial epitaphs were thrown their way last summer during the often heated health care debate.
Not one camera out of hundreds of cameras at many many Tea Party events have ever produced one racial slur or epitaph and yet the First Lady of the United States is willing to go before the NAACP and deride the Tea Party movement for its alleged "racism."
Perhaps Michelle Obama should look within her own "political" house and clean it up before making such accusations. In case Mrs. Obama needs some help I've provided some examples here for her reference.
Jesse Jackson referring to Cavs owner Dan Gilbert of acting like a "slave owner". Granted Dan Gilbert acted like a foolish child with LeBron's departure, however, that is no reason for the likes of Jackson to start stirring up remarks that paint Gilbert as some racists.
Or perhaps we should look to the comments of the minister that married Michelle Obama to her husband the President Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Or perhaps we should ask Attorney General Eric Holder who has called Americans "cowards" when it comes to dealing with racism in this country why his office withdrew charges against the New Black Panthers for blatant hatred, racism and moreover violation of Federal Law in the intimidation of voters at polling booths.
Mrs Obama I have video of racism of people who are aligned to your political beliefs. Where is your video?

Kill some crackers and their babies
Breitbart.tv » Before the Obama Justice Dept Dropped Charges Against Him, Black Panther Advocated Killing White Babies
US Attorney General Eric Holder once stated that Americans were "cowards" when it came to confronting race and racism in America.
Was he talking about Americans or himself?
Mr Holder you are the coward. Or is that racist?

Arizona Immigration Enforcement Law
I'm disgusted with the media, politicians and celebs that are trashing this law.
The law says nothing more than for local law enforcement officials to enforce the Federal Immigration laws!!
Don't believe me, read the law for yourself.

Don't believe the hype!

50 Examples of Government Waste | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.
50 Examples of Government Waste | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.
Every year on tax day (April 15th for those who don't pay taxes) I post to Facebook and MySpace a "feel the rage".
Every year I also have liberal friends reply with the obvious lunacy of "Gee Neal, don't you want highways,parks, library's, schools, and police and fire protection?"
Well of course I do, but what our government takes from us and how it applies the confiscation of our property is criminal.
I do this exercise every year to promote awareness and get people thinking.
If each individual in America were to sit down and start adding up everywhere they pay taxes and truly start asking themselves "am I getting my money's worth?" I am certain the answer would be rather obvious.
In fact if private companies were to operate in such a fashion their executives would be put in jail and they would be run out of business.
The link above is a great example of where you are 50 examples provided by the Heritage Foundation promoting where you are not getting your money's worth.
So yeah.. feel the rage...

Small Minds Lynn Ashby's Treason Season - Monday, November 02, 2009 - Copyright 2007 Ourtribune.com
Treason Season - Monday, November 02, 2009 - Copyright 2007 Ourtribune.com
Lynn Ashby's editorial "Treason Season" from November 2 railed against those here in America that are advocates for the War on Terrorism. His underlying theme was to allude that advocates for the War on Terror are akin to the rise of the National Socialist Party in Germany. He never goes any deeper than the accusation except to start attacking individuals rather than draw relevant historical comparisons.
Typical of most opinion makers on the left Mr. Ashby focuses his attention on attacking the individuals he opposes rather than the substance of their arguments.
Moreover, and more offensive, he tries to pin an emergence of an evil in our country on Christians and Christian "hate."
Mr. Ashby completely overlooks that it was not "Christian hate" that crashed two planes into the World Trade Center. It was not "Christian hate" that video taped the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl. Nor was it "Christian Hate" that teaches Palestinian children that suicide bombing is a wonderful or glorious thing.
Mr. Ashby ignores the fact that Christians donate millions of dollars every year and some risk their very lives to serve as missionaries, forfeiting vacation time that could be spent here in the USA and instead risk their very lives to help build infrastructure, provide food & medicine to underprivileged people around the world. Members of my own church have risked their lives to help minister to the needs of people in Africa where Muslim warlords kill people who do not accept their faith of Islam (especially Christians).
Interestingly enough Mr Ashby quotes Eleanor Roosevelt: "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." However, instead of discussing "ideas" or "events." Mr. Ashby spends the bulk of his article denigrating "people."
By way of example:
-Christians are haters and responsible for the emergence of a new evil in America.
-Dick Army and Rush Limbaugh are greedy.
-Bloggers are fat people in bathrobes living in basements.
-Web sites like the Huffington Post or Drudgereport are not legitimate because they don't spend $3 million a year establishing bureaus in war zones.
-Fox News viewers are ignorant.
At no point does Mr. Ashby ever take on any of the arguments he opposes based upon their "ideas" or the substance thereof. Instead he insults the people who proctor or support the ideas he opposes.
Maybe Mrs Roosevelt was on to something when she said "Small minds discuss people."
