Greta Van Susteren played a number of clips tonight from the 2008 campaign where Barack Obama told supporters that he was going to hold his health care talks on CSPAN. Obviously, that never happened. After playing the video Greta looked at Karl Rove and said, “It was a lie.”

Gee willikers Ms. Van Susteren, it took you only a year after the election to notice our Dictator In Training Pants is a liar….. Thanks for your awareness.
I’ll stop now, or I might get a tad miffed.

Greta is always so softspoken. These are harsh words coming from her.

Everytime he speaks he averages 1-2 lies per sentence. Below is how he got to be our liar-in-chief
A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked, “Sir, what will you have?”
The man thought a moment then replied, “A martini please.” The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had.
The robot then asked, “Sir, what is your IQ?” The man answered “oh, about 164.”
The robot then proceeded to discuss the ‘theory of relativity’, ‘inter-steller space travel’, ‘the latest medical break throughs”, etc…….
The man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different tact. He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what he would have? “A Martini please.” Again it was superb. The robot again asked “what is your IQ sir?”
This time the man answered, “Oh about 100″. So the robot started discussing Nascar racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this weekend.
The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool…. Again a martini, and the question, “What is your IQ?”??
This time the man drawled out “Uh….. bout 50″. The robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly asked, “A-r-e y-o-u-r p-e-o-p-l-e h-a-p-p-y w-i-t-h O-B-A-M-A ?????

Rumor has it Nancy Pelosi is going to try to force Greta to apologize on the House floor for calling Obama the liar he is.
jonyjoe101 commented:
Greta needs to be careful about calling the “long legged macdaddy” a liar (even though he is). The honorable Pastor Manning already had visits from the CIA for using harsh language in trying to expose “the annointed one” for what he is.
Greta needs to get back on “the reservation” with the 3 puppets of FOX (hannity/beck/oreilly), they have been warned to keep there criticism of “the annointed one” lowkey, and are in full compliance.
Shes following in the footsteps of Lou Dobbs, and we know what happened to him on CNN.
right4us commented:
Shame on Rove! He just gave cover for flat out lying/decieving the American public.
At least Greta called it what it was. And, made Rove look like beltway hack. Where both parties are ok with lying during campaigning – then just turning around and saying, “well, that was then – you can’t hold me accountable for what I’ve said to get elected” – or, after for that matter!
And, I thought “words have consequences”.
If we can’t hold politicians accountable for their words, what’s next – their actions? Oh, wait, were already there, too.

(thumbsup)
my first thought as well, cannot stand false niceties towards the realities,
they defy truths.. ergo, as far as i’m concerned.. Rove is just as guilty of
lying as Obama is in this instance..

Ah, crap! I have been caught lying again!
But let me be clear, I am not a liar. I am fraudulent snake oil salesman. Did you know that you can use snake oil instead of KY jelly – just ask Kevin.
My Bus is belching fumes and I have to blow this global cooling thing clean. Huh,well, global cooling or global warming, it doesn’t matter, I’ll get it rammed through like a well lubricated fist in Barney Frank. What matters is how much I make from the carbon credit scam.
And, no, I will not be discussing global warming or ObamaCare on CSPAN. The American Tax payer is too stupid to understand the whole thing. I just need their money. I must look busy and get on the Metrosex Bus. Good day.

What’s in the Bill http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/71913-more-than-100m-committed-to-defunct-presidential-helicopter-project “House and Senate defense negotiators on Friday agreed to include more than $100 million to continue work on the now defunct VH-71 presidential helicopter, according to one defense appropriator.
Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.), in whose district Lockheed Martin assembles the VH-71, said that he secured more than $100 million in the negotiated 2010 Pentagon spending bill to continue some work on the program. The funds would technically allow the work force in Owego, N.Y., to continue outfitting the helicopters with mission systems. The actual helicopters are made by the Italian-British venture, AgustaWestland…….” A defunct Presidential Helicopter for NY at the cost of 100 MILLION to save “”About 250 jobs” Then get this quote from the Hill same article. “Now, the agreed-on funds for VH-71 are close to $130 million. However, part of that money would go toward the termination costs of the VH-71.”
That would be about 400 Thousand per job ”saved”

OT but http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/71911-judge-stops-acorn-funding-ban “A federal judge today issued an injunction preventing the implementation of a congressional ban on funding for ACORN.
Judge Nina Gershon concluded that the ban amounted to a “bill of attainder” that unfairly singled out ACORN.” {SNIP}
In defending the ban, the Obama administration argued it interpreted the bill narrowly enough to allow payment of existing contracts. But Gershon found the legislation too broad.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, issued a statement criticizing Gershon’s decision and noting that she was appointed by Bill Clinton.
“This left-wing activist Judge is setting a dangerous precedent that left-wing political organizations plagued by criminal accusations have a constitutional entitlement to taxpayer dollars,” Issa said. “The Obama Administration should immediately move to appeal this injunction.”

during the election, greta’s husband became an
advisor for Sarah. they were hillary supporters initially. the hillary people were the first victims of the obama campaign and got to witness first hand the tactics early on. a fox victim of obama was e.d. hill [former morning show] = the obama fist pump that she quizzed

and of course acorn has been exonerated by
scott harshberger [former attorney gen for the
peoples rep of ma.]. maybe it’s just me but the
video of bertha lewis enthusiastically endorsing
hussain while under the banner of acorn doesn’t seem particularly bi-partisan – but then again that’s just me.

And why does he break his promises? Because he’s afraid to defend his beliefs. We elected a coward and a liar.
raybojabo commented:
Sad truth is that the Republican “powers that be”, such as Rove, don’t want it on C-span any more than the Democrats. They want to keep up their good cop, bad cop facade to fool the unwitting supporters on both sides while they advance their Marxist NWO agenda.

Welcome to the party, Greta. Better late than never.
neomom commented:
Greta has been very good at hiding her political preferences. She is a Wisconsin Democrat. As with most Wi. Dems she is hardcore and stubburn in her Beliefs. Watching her morph slowly into a conservative is a microcasm of what is happening in our country.
This administration has no shame when it comes to breaking promises or out and out lying. Do you see the shame on Gretas face? Do you see how she looks down when she admits what a charlaten this man is? Greta has a sense of shame because she knows she is partly responsible.
Greta is tougher than a two dollar steak. I like a betrayed, angry Greta. She will make a great allie in the struggle to get our country back.

Obama’s Geothermal Pipe Dream
The Obama Administration (with an assist from Professor Al “Millions of Degrees” Gore) trumpeted the benefits of green geothermal energy and then spent millions. What happened? The same thing that always happens when environmental zealots have to deal with the real world:
The company in charge of a California project to extract vast amounts of renewable energy from deep, hot bedrock has removed its drill rig and informed federal officials that the government project will be abandoned.
The project by the company, AltaRock Energy, was the Obama administration’s first major test of geothermal energy as a significant alternative to fossil fuels and the project was being financed with federal Department of Energy money at a site about 100 miles north of San Francisco called the Geysers.
But on Friday, the Energy Department said that AltaRock had given notice this week that “it will not be continuing work at the Geysers” as part of the agency’s geothermal development program.
It turns out that there are substantial difficulties involved with this type of geothermal tech. And not just mechanical. Apparently it can cause earthquakes.
