<<Mr. Zimmerman who was found NOT GUILTY by a jury>> So was OJ Simpson. I don't understand the point that you are trying to make. Are you making a point? Are you saying OJ was guilty? Do you have any purpose in life other than trolling? Will you be answering any of the questions put to you today by anybody?

Does that mean everyone is guilty because OJ was guilty? What is the connection between the two cases?

5 Lies That Have Shaped Obama's Presidency - Jack Cashill, New York Post If past presidents are remembered for their signature achievements, Obama will be remembered for his signature lie: “If you like your health care plan blah, blah, blah.” The reader knows the rest. Although the most consequential of Obama’s lies — it got him reelected — it’s far from his only prevarication. I’ve counted 75 significant lies since his campaign for president began, but that doesn’t begin to tally the casual fibs and hyperbole he spouts seemingly every day. Here are five that illustrate just how much Obama’s presidency is built on falsehoods. 5. “My father left my family when I was 2 years old.” Obama made this claim in September 2009, when addressing the nation’s schoolkids. By then, the blogosphere knew that baby Obama had never spent a night under the same roof as his father, let alone two years. ... 4. “The Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration.” Obama spun this fiction at a September 2012 Univision forum knowing it was false. In fact, the bizarre, deadly idea to let American guns “walk” into Mexico, where they were used by drug cartels to kill dozens, began in October 2009. ... “It began in fall 2009,” corrected White House correspondent Jake Tapper, then with ABC. ... 3. “Not even a smidgen of corruption.” ... And how could Obama know there wasn’t a smidgen of corruption before the investigation was even over? Perhaps because the administration knew that any proof of that was gone with deleted e-mails and destroyed hard drives? 2. “We revealed to the American people exactly what we understood at the time.” ... In fact, it was exactly a week after the attack, on Sept. 18, that Obama took his first questions about Benghazi. Bizarrely, he did so to David Letterman. “Here’s what happened,” Obama said. “You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who — who made an extremely offensive video directed at — at Mohammed and Islam.” We know now that the administration knew this wasn’t true. Not a week later; not even the very night of the attacks. On many levels, this was Obama’s most telling lie. He only deals with the world as he sees it, not as it is. 1. “Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” Obama told this whopper to his assembled staff on his first day in office. He promised it to the press. Instead, his administration refuses to hand over documents and Obama refuses to answer questions. As liberal constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley assessed the presidency, “Barack Obama is really the president Richard Nixon always wanted to be.” What do these lies, just a sample of many, tell us? Obama never stopped “artfully shaping” his life. The scary thing is he might actually believe these lies. He believes that posting a shot from his personal photographer online is “transparent.” That targeting conservative groups for audits isn’t corrupt. That everything that has gone wrong with his presidency is Bush’s fault. Knowing that, how can we believe anything that he says?

Read it and weep: Electoral-Vote.com, the site that gives an analysis of political races based on the "poll of the day" (or an aggregate of polls if more than one for a particular race comes out on the same day), has good news for the GOP. Its current map for the Senate has the Republicans up 51 to the Dems’ 48, with Kansas "tied" (which is how they get around having an independent in the lead there at the moment.) Clearly the good news for the GOP is that even with the probably unlikely loss of Kansas, they still would win the Senate with 51 seats (they need 51 as a tie would see VP Biden give the deciding vote for the Democrats. The site map shows that on current polling the Southern states of Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, and North Carolina would be won by Republican challengers. With Alaska returning to its traditional conservative fold and Kansas back where it has been since the 1920's, the GOP can afford to lose one of the Southern states, North Carolina for instance, and still have the majority. americanthinker.com
