Read the whole story about that Clinton BJ thing.
He didn't lie given the definitions he was given.
That anyone would allow such definitions? There's your lie!

You have a point. I never thought I'd look back at the Clinton years with nostalgia but the present administrations constant and blatant lying makes even President Bubba look honest by comparison.

He knew that he was lying and he knew who he was lying to.

Do you remember when President Obama paid off some of Mrs Clinton's political debts a couple of years ago? I always thought that was some kind of payola thing and now it is reported that Mr Clinton and President Obama didn't even finish the golf games they were photographed at before the last election.

In other words they were just photo ops to make it look like they were friends ... if the devil couldn't deceive you he wouldn't try now would he?

They all do staged photo ops. I was tasked to set up two FEMA trailers during Katrina clean up for a photo op for Bush.

Remember we had Reagan before that. I still think his administration holds the record for number of convictions.

We really need more limits on Presidential Clemency.

Taken from a comment proceeding a article. I got a good chuckle.

Quote:
The Affordable Boat Act

The U.S. government has just passed a new law entitled "The
Affordable Boat Act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new
boat by April, 2014.

These 'affordable' boats will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000
each. This does not include taxes, trailers, towing fees, licensing and
registration fees, fuel, docking and storage fees, maintenance, or
repair costs.

This law has been passed because, until now, typically only wealthy
and financially responsible people have been able to purchase boats.
This new
law ensures that every American can now have an 'affordable' boat of their own, because everyone is 'entitled' to a new boat.

If you purchase your boat before the end of the year, you will receive four 'free' life jackets (does
not include monthly usage fees).

In order to make sure everyone purchases an 'affordable boat,' the
cost of owning a boat will increase on average of 250-400% per year.
This way,
wealthy people will pay more for something that other
people don't want or can't afford to maintain. But, to be fair, people
who can't afford to maintain their boat will be regularly fined and
children (under the age of
26) can use their parents boat(s) to party on until they turn 27, after which date they must purchase their own boat.

If you already have a boat, you can keep yours (just kidding; no you can't).

If you don't want or don't need a boat, you are required to buy one anyhow.

If you refuse to buy one or can't afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one, or face imprisonment.

If you cannot (or don't want to) purchase an 'affordable boat' from a private business, you can buy
a
starter boat from the U. S. government 'affordable boat exchange.' Such
a boat will have the basic necessities (hull, oars or paddles) and will
only
cost 'slightly more' than a similar boat purchased from a private business.

Plus, since your tax dollars will subsidize the purchase of a boat
from the U. S. government's 'affordable boat exchange,' it will appear
that you are
getting a good deal.

Failure to use the boat will also result in fines. People living in
the desert, inner cities, or areas with no access to lakes are
notexempt.

Pre-existing conditions such as age, motion sickness,
experience, knowledge, nor lack of desire are not acceptable excuses for not using your boat.

A government review board (that doesn't know the difference between
the port side, starboard side, or stern of a boat) will decide
everything, including
when, where, how often, and for what purposes
you can use your boat, along with how many people can ride your boat.
The board will also determine if
one is too old or healthy enough to
be able to use their boat, and will also decide if your boat has out
lived its usefulness or if you must purchase
specific accessories(like a $500 compass) or a newer and more expensive boat.

Those that can afford yachts will be required to do so ... it's only fair.

The government will also decide the name for each boat. Failure to
comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.

Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a
boat, they and their families can obtain boats free at the expense of
tax payers.

This includes lifetime maintenance and automatic adjustments for fuel
charges.

Unions, bankers, and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$),

I just got off my ass and completed open enrollment for 2014. The cost of my health insurance plan has increased by 20%. If there is an "affordable" part with this health care act; as the word implies a reduction in cost, I am unable to find it.

Insert political rant here.

You will not find it.

I signed up for VA healthcare. It's only priority 8 but it's free and it qualifies as coverage under the ACA.

Today BO has announce he will honor the commitment to those having insurance continuing with their policy if they like it. I don't think he has the authority to change the law at will. I also understand the insurance companies were asked to send letters out to those cancelled advising the policy holder can retain their policy if they like it. However, the insurance company is not held accountable in keeping those policies and need to advise the policy holder to check the market place for coverage. Good CYA Mr. Obama.

This law that was not read until after it was signed into law is a living breathing nightmare. What a utter mess. Loads of stress and uncertainty. The numbers game of 106,000 signing on but not actually picking a policy with exception of 27,000 accepting but have not a premium payment yet is a circus. Credibilty....extinct as of Oct 1, 2013.

This dirtbag has no shame, his healthcare is a failure, which it was from the moment it was passed via corrupt means now he is at some OH steel plant, playing class warfare, trying to rev up with emotional rhetoric and start a push for immigration "reform" , no shame.The people at this "rally" should be ashamed of themselves for attending this event, clapping for this man.What more must he do to even get the mindless drones to wake up?

He really has no shame. I'm quite convinced the current body of Democrat Senators are nothing more than a frat house. All are utterly clueless what's in the bill. None care about anything but their own jobs. This event clearly shows this. 10 Senators are up for re-election and all supporting POTUS in this altering of "THE LAW OF THE LAND" so to save their hides. Self-serving.

What a mess.......
