I have long regarded Barack Obama as someone who has little regard for the truth, having paid close attention to how he spins and wiggles his way around facts. When the late Lawrence Eaglesburger called him a charlatan on evening of the election in 2008, that phrase stuck in my mind. In a post last may, I referred to Barack Obama as the Charlatan-in-Chief.
But now Dr. Thomas Sowell, professor of economics at Stanford, has also clearly labeled Obama "Phony in Chief" in his most recent article. And the reasoning is devastating and not one that President Obama can easily wiggle out of. A video has recently surfaced of him demagogically telling a black audience that the federal government had not waived the Stafford Act for federal relief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, as it had in the wake of 9/11 in New York and Hurricane Andrew in Florida.
It turns out that this is a bold face lie. Not only that, but to add insult to injury Barack Obama was not only present when the Stafford Act was waived, he himself voted against waiving it.
Nobody should vote for this man this time around.
