It is possible that Obama is purposefully lying to the American people when he is delivering one of his glib sermonettes, for example when he told us the unemployment rate would never reach 8 percent or that there would be no tax increase for anyone earning over $250K. On the other hand, he knows that he has a subservient media and a cult following that will swallow anything that he merely feels free to say whatever comes to mind. In any case, extreme Liberals such as Obama have proven they are devotees of the philosophy that the end justifies the means, because they are so convinced of their views that they are without reservations about lying, because, in the end - utopian equality for everyone - things will work out perfectly. The liar-in-chief told us that the Cap-trade act that the Democrats forced through the House would cost each American family only a measly $175 per year. Given the same data, the most extensive study so far, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology analysis, estimated it would cost each person $3000. Statisticians sometimes lie with statistics; liars just plain lie. More telling, the study found that the affect that Cap-trade will have in reducing the carbon footprint would be only 2 percent in 100 years. Moreover, this fiasco would result in a net loss of jobs, not a gain.
