The president who continued to claim that Obamacare was great, affordable insurance in the face of all evidence to the contrary now asserts, “For the first time in nearly a decade, that we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program, and that key parts of the program will be rolled back.”

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a different take, “What was achieved last night in Geneva is not a historic agreement. It was a historic mistake.”
Since President Obama can’t recognize the truth even when it slaps him in the face, I’m going with Netanyahu.
Obama has a huge credibility problem: He and his administration have been caught in so many deceptions, misleading statements, and downright lies that you simply can’t believe any of them. He and his officials may be telling the truth, or they may not be. Who knows?
Recall when Obama press secretary Jay Carney claimed that it was Republicans who came up with the sequester idea. Then the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward stepped up and challenged the lie. Carney backtracked.
And when Attorney General Eric Holder testified under oath that he knew nothing about the Fast and Furious gunrunning operation, until documents emerged showing that he did.
And when IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman snarked under oath he had almost no contact with the White House, until a reporter discovered his name on the White House visitor’s log 157 times between 2009 and 2012 (a subsequent article has questioned whether he actually showed up every time).
And when the NSA’s James Clapper claimed under oath that the NSA does not collect any type of data on Americans, which he had to later retract.
And then there is Obamacare. The President has mislead the public so many times—in the face of contradicting evidence—that even the media are fed up with it, leading to some very testy press conferences.
The public has finally gotten the message. A new CNN/ORC International survey reveals that 53 percent believe that Obama is not honest or trustworthy. Given that his enablers make up maybe 30 percent of the public—e.g., Organizing for Action, community organizers, people who depend on his handouts, etc.—the poll indicates a major shift in the public’s trust.
Now we’re being told that the agreement with Iran is a historic step forward. But will we learn in a few weeks, perhaps through leaked emails or documents, that there are caveats that neither Obama nor Secretary of State John Kerry are telling us that dramatically undermines all the happy talk?
And the President isn’t a neutral player, he is desperate to get something else in the headlines besides all the Obamacare disasters — even to the point of making a statement on Saturday night in a (successful) attempt to get some favorable headlines Sunday morning.
Normally, Americans would accept a president’s statements as (mostly) true. But we are talking about Obama and his administration, and they have proven that you cannot believe a thing they say.
