Sure Obama Is Lying, But Are Americans Even Listening to the Lies?

The guys at Powerline have been doing non-stop yeoman's work exposing the lies of ObamaCare, from its foundational lies to its ongoing lies.  In this post, John takes on the question of whether people believe Obama any more.

Obama surely knows that his lies have been exposed, and that Obamacare’s unpopularity is in part the result of that exposure. There is something downright weird about his giving a speech–one in which he talked about how terrible it is when people lose their health insurance–without even mentioning the elephant in the room. He is like a trial lawyer whose client is damned by one horrible fact which has been emphasized repeatedly by the opposing party, and who delivers a closing argument in which he fails to mention the key evidence in the case. You just can’t do that. In some fashion, you have to deal with it. Today, Obama didn’t even try.

The question of whether people believe him any more presupposes that people are even listening.  Maybe they are, but I have my doubts.  I have long posited that a key piece of evidence that the Lightworker is not nearly as smart as all the fawners claim (or dream) he is, is his lack of understanding that the more you talk, the less weight people give your words.

This is the most overexposed Presidency in the history of the nation.  For five long years, this man has been on our TV sets, in our papers, on the web, yammering on about anything and everything (Cambridge, MA cops, the Redskins, electric cars, yadayada).  Is anybody listening any more?

Just when Obama needs the attention of the American people the most (to at least be listening as he lies his balls off), chances are they are tuned out after five years of him droning on.  He should have saved up some political capital, some vaunted standing, for just this moment, but he has squandered it in an epic run of constant verbosity.  Not too smart.

UPDATE:  Others are catching on.
