Gibbs Lies Huge About Obama's Doubts on Iraq Surge
Yesterday morning, White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs did the rounds on the network and cable news shows and said that President Barack Obama (then candidate and Senator Obama) actually supported the surge because "...Barack Obama said that adding 20,000 men and women into Baghdad and into Iraq was likely to improve the security situation...."
Did you get that? Barack Obama said the surge would "improve security." A bold-faced lie in front of the world and that wasn't the only time, as he proceeded to go on and try (and succeed as none of the network interviewers called him on it, of course)
He actually said this, folks. The problem for Gibby and the prez is, Obama's word's of denial are all over the internet via YouTube and other video posting sights (forgive me for having to use an interview with Keith Olberloon)
Of course after the surge did work, Obama and Gibbs claim that (in so many words so as to mask their blatant earlier denial) Oh yeah, we all knew it would work.
Then, after fielding the same questions all morning with the same lying answer, he went on Fox and Friends and belittled Gretchen Carlson for asking the same questions his fawning network buddies did.
Newsbusters has the story here in order of his morning appearances.
These guys will try to get away with anything, won't they? Say what you will about the Bush administration, but how bold-faced can you be/
By the way, this is usually where I would give credit where it was due for Obama finally acknowledging President Bush on at least himself acknowledging the troops for their sacrifice (only because it's a Congressional election year) But after so much denial on the current president's part, I really don't think that's applicable this time.
