On Monday, President Obama’s hit squad — pardon me, I meant his re-election team — announced the formation of a “Truth Team” to counter what they know will be a frontal assault on the president’s record:
President Obama’s re-election team on Monday rolled out a campaign to recruit two million supporters to help debunk attacks on the president’s record and hit back at his Republican rivals.
Called the “Truth Team,” the new effort will engage Obama supporters online and in person, encouraging them to communicate with undecided voters about the president’s record.
Candidly, I’m more than a little surprised that the word “truth” is in the president’s vocabulary because he has made a market in half-truths and outright fabrication. I’m not the first person to point this out, and I’m positive that won’t be the last.
To commemorate the president’s formation of an army of accomplices that’s 2,000,000 people strong, I thought it would be helpful to draw attention to some of his more egregious distortions. Since so much has been written about Obama’s attempts to mislead, that’s not difficult. The list below is just a sampler:
Anyone who believes that President Obama can be beaten easily in the 2012 presidential election because of his dismal record is dangerously deluded. The eventual GOP nominee will encounter a barrage of lies about his and the president’s records. With a virtual army of ignoramuses spreading lies among uninformed voters many of whom are dependent on the federal government for their livelihoods and a war chest that’s expected to reach $1 billion, the president is in the catbird seat, and he stands a very good chance of being re-elected.
Don’t take anything for granted. Learn the facts and tell your friends and family what you know. The only way to counter the president’s offensive is to be more determined than he and his co-conspirators are.

I don’t see what the problem is. One nation, one folk, one truth, one leader.
German Nazi Party member Joseph Goebbels became Adolf Hitler’s propaganda minister in 1933
You know who else had a ‘truth squad’?
Hence my appellation: Dear Liar.
With the on-going degeneration of the English language, ‘truth’ appears ready to join other descriptive words like ‘gay’ or ‘patriotic’ in the category entitled REDEFINED.
And it’s all thanks to people just like that charming young fellow at 1600.
We wish him well on his journey… and very soon.
Sadly, “truth” got redefined long ago, the first time someone got away with retorting, “That’s your truth, not mine!” without being bitchslapped into next week.
Is anyone surprised? This is exactly how the Cloward-Piven Plan was supposed to work. Everything is on plan. Kill the education system, spend, spend, spend, destroy the economy, blame the other political party for the woes of the world and you’ll be King.
Perfect planning. Obama is the “One we’ve been waiting for” after all.
What could possibly go wrong?
Thanks for pointing out the truth about the liar. Who is the father of all lies?
So you are correct, the truth must be spoken and the lies exposed. No lie can survive the truth forever. These days when all things are being laid bare
all should learn to put on the honest clothing of truth and avoid believing or speaking lies. The president apparently believes he is immume to the truth but he is not. All liars have one father and one destination. The wicked always destroy themselves and the way these liars are doubling down now it appears they will complete the task this time.
The “truth team” has the same logo as the Hitler Youth…Axelrod you stupid son of a bitch.
P.S that’s the Hitler youth lightning bolt..
