OBAMA HAS LIED TO AMERICAN PEOPLE, SAYS LYING EXPERT

[Zorro]

President Obama has imperiled his second term by lying to the American people, one of the nation’s foremost lying experts said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

The accusation carried weight, observers said, coming as it did from a legendary figure in the high-stakes world of competitive lying.

He was harshly critical of Mr. Obama’s fibbing, calling it “amateurish at best,” contrasting the President’s lack of lying experience with his own half-century of dishonesty.

“The American people deserve a President who is a world-class liar,” he said. “Sadly, they do not have that President.”

2. This expert, was it Dick Cheney?

I missed the show, can't bear to watch it anymore.

The article doesn't even name this "expert". Fuck the expert, and fuck Meet the Press.

Where were they when the liars who started the wars were lying to us?

3. Satire by Borowitz.

4. Was that "expert" Mitt Romney?

"Speaking from experience, he (the lying expert) said that he had learned “the hard way” just how difficult lying can be: “Just when you think you’ve gotten away with it, there’s someone with a hidden camera catching you telling the truth.”

11. Yes

Romney isn't named, but it's his picture at the top of the article.

12. That's what I think, too.

But I've read elsewhere here that it was someone else.

14. I'll take the evidence of the picture on the actual article...

...over the speculations of forum posters who don't appear to have actually followed the link.

7. heeee!

It's true. He is inexperienced in lying. We've had so many experts and threw away the chance for a world-class liar and his lying family. What a shame, what a shame.

8. Romney lies everytime he opens his mouth

So it follows that what Obama said must be the truth.

13. I have been here at DU for too long.

First I figured I'd see Mitty's ugly mug when I opened the thread. Then I looked at the link to see if this was from "The Onion." When it turned out to be "The New Yorker," I guessed Borowitz. Then I clicked on the link, and bingo! Borowitz and a photo of Mitty. DU edjumakashun works.
