Obama: Lies and truth in the same speech

[SavageOrangeJug]

BELGRADE, Mont. – Trying to lower the temperature of the health care fight, President Barack Obama on Friday denounced news media emphasis on angry protesters at town-hall meetings.

Obama ventured west for the latest of his own town hall-style events, fielding polite but occasionally tough questions — one man declaring the president couldn't pay for his plan without raising taxes. Tieless and rolling up his sleeves in campaign mode, Obama pitched his overhaul plan to a crowd in an airport hangar near Bozeman.

The president didn't deny that there have been angry outbursts by foes of his plan at town halls featuring Democratic lawmakers this month. But he said that was hardly the whole story.

"TV loves a ruckus," Obama said. "What you haven't seen on TV and what makes me proud are the many constructive meetings going on all over the country."

Lies:

He is making a backhanded request to those in the fawning media. "Voluntarily censor the protests."

Constructive meetings? That's a damn lie. The media is all over ANYTHING positive about Obama. They go out of their way to spin the negatives into a positive. The only "constuctive meetings" are his made for television, pure BS, hand picked audience meetings.

Truth:

Friday's crowd, estimated by the White House at about 1,300 people, was mostly supportive, cheering Obama frequently, though he did get a few pointed questions. One came from Randy Rathie, who called himself "a proud NRA member," referring to the National Rifle Association, and said he got most of his news from cable TV.

"You can't tell us how you're going to pay for this," Rathie said of Obama's health care overhaul. "The only way you're going to get that money is raise our taxes."

"You are absolutely right," Obama said. "I can't cover another 46 million people for free. I can't do that. We're going to have to find money from somewhere."

He just said it! YOUR TAXES ARE GOING UP!

The truth is that he gave a speech. The lie is whatever came out of his mouth.
