Axelrod Knows President Is Lying

Here’s something interesting I read in the news today. Obama’s top advisor, David Axelrod, stated in an interview that Justice Alito’s mouthing “not true” during the President’s admonishment of the Supreme Court during the State of the Union speech is par for the course during Obama’s speeches in the House. He said it’s not unusual to see an outburst or unusual reaction to something the president says, stating "in this weird political season, we have become accustomed to unusual outbursts".

That’s interesting, don’t you think? He’s saying it’s not at all surprising when someone, in this case a Supreme Court Justice, pretty much says the president is lying. Could that be, Mr. Axelrod, because you know the good president IS lying? Could that be why you’re not surprised when someone just can’t hold it in, because they are being confronted with an outright, bald-faced lie, they just have to blurt out the truth?

The fact is that a big share of the president’s speeches are outright lies or at the very least bending the truth, so why should it surprise anybody when someone points it out? That’s exactly what Justice Alito was doing and that’s what Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina was doing when he yelled out “you lie” during Obama's health care speech to Congress.

Axelrod is just admitting they know they’re lies.
