In his recent State of the Union address, BO once again proved he was the best liar we’ve ever had acting as a president.
He stated that the economy was doing well and that unemployment had been cut in half during his time in the White House. REALITY The civilian unemployment rate when he took office was about 4.5%. It is now about 9.6%. Historical Long term Unemployment was 10% and it is now 31.2% (a/o September 2014).(1) See, he is still smoking pot and he is living in a fantasy world.
When BO was running for President, he stated he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. The deficit was $458 billion in 2008 and he has since added $6.257 trillion to it. His budget for 2012 showed a deficit of $1.1 Trillion. Instead of cutting it in half, he increased it 240%. His budget for 2015 shows a deficit $583 billion. Liar Liar
He talked about the need to further tax the rich because they are not paying their fair share. Yet, he failed to mention that the top 1 percent pays 37 percent of the federal income taxes, while earning 19 percent of the income. What gives him the right to determine somebody’s FAIR share?
Check out this chart. The year 2009 is the latest year I can find.

His claim that we are winning the war against terrorism is another example of him living in a fantasy world in light of its rapid growth and spread throughout the world. He appeared not to recognize that our premature withdrawal of troops from Iraq was a mistake, facilitating the development of the Islamic State. He never calls Hamas, Hezbollah or the Taliban a terrorist organization. Maybe he doesn’t even know the definition of terrorism. His bravado about chasing terrorists and eliminating them bears no resemblance to his actual policies, demonstrating his contempt for the intelligence of his audience.
He showed great courage in talking about how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is actually resulting in a reduction in health care spending. This may be true on some levels, but the reason for that decreased spending is secondary to the reluctance of people to seek medical care when they have deductibles of thousands of dollars. He said, “Let me be exactly clear about what health care reform means to you,” Obama said at one rally in July 2009. “First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.” It is estimated that 16 million people will lose their coverage. (3) Personally, my doctor sent me a letter stating that he wasn't going to accept Medicare or my secondary insurance company any longer. My insurance company also told me I had to change plans and then dropped me. My heart medication went from $500 for six months to $1000 for six months.
He keeps dipping into Medicare to fiancé his pipe dreams. In his latest budget for 2015, he is again lowering the amount of money being paid by Medicare for prescriptions. I guess he thinks that the people on Medicare are the very rich.
• Based on a Manhattan Institute analysis of data released by the Department of Health and Human Services, insurance rates for younger men will increase by an average of 97 to 99 percent, while they will increase by an average of 55 to 62 percent for younger women. (2)
• Worst of all states, North Carolina will see individual market rates triple for women and quadruple for men.(2)
BO also made some fantastic comments which served as applause lines regarding energy, education, and a few other subjects. The real state of the union is characterized by dishonesty and deception. You will notice that he just talks about more spending, not cutting the budget on balancing the budget or being a responsible administrator.
Instead of pretending that everything is rosy, perhaps it would be wise for the acting president to replay the part of the speech about bipartisan cooperation and then figure out how his multiple veto threats, failure to communicate, and reluctance to seek bipartisan solutions fit the theme of his address.
I truly believe BO is a liar on many levels and he is guilty of fraud and treason. Much to my disappointment, he never mentioned his illegal and discriminatory Choke Point Plan.
Of course, most people that support BO have no idea what is really going on so they think he is doing a great job. Ignorance is bliss.

Our only hope is that the military gets tired of seeing our country destroyed from within and takes control. The 3 branches of our government are ineffective and running amok. Neither major political party has demonstrated that they can or will solve our problems.
Our problems can be summed up as CLAPS.
Corruption
Liberals
Apathy
Political Correctness
Stupidity
And I bet you thought Clap was just a common human sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
