I know. I will be criticized for using such a harsh word to describe Obama. But the truth is the truth and a lie is a lie. There can be no parsing of words when you come right down to determining who is being truthful and who is not.

Careful Currency
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

In this age of political discourse, media spin, and sound bites, it can be difficult to know what words actually mean. Consultants can be paid large sums of money to produce words that take up space without saying anything. But in the kingdom of God, words are currency--a medium for meaning, an exchange tool for communication.
I sincerely believe that the first two sentences exactly describes Obama's modus operandi. Therefore, we often discern that Obama's words are just spin and sound bites. Quite frankly, we can't believe anything he says anymore. At least that is the way that I see it.
The fact that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and His written Word prevails forever gives us the confidence that we can implicitly trust Him, His Son Jesus Christ (the Living Word of God) and the Bible (the written Word of God).
One of the signs of the times is the fact that there are so many deceivers out there in the world today. You cannot believe what they say, write, or communicate because they will lie, cheat, swindle, falsely accuse, spew hatred, and create acrimony just for the sake of spreading chaos.
If you haven't been watching The Glenn Beck program lately, you are probably falling for the media spin of what not only is actually going in Egypt (and spreading to other Islamic countries) but more importantly, WHY it is happening. Why NOW? Yesterday's show is a must see! If you missed it WATCH HERE. [NOTE: when you visit the site, click on the link below the video that says, "Click Here For Today's Show Research."] Another thing to notice and consider. Why are the Egyptian protestors holding perfectly printed signs (in English) that appear to be manufactured by some organization - like say - a radical communist type that probably has ties to radical Islam???

If you are to get the unvarnished truth without the spin that is sadly typical of the Media of Mass Deception, my advice is to watch The Glenn Beck program on Fox News Channel and read the conservative blogs (many good ones on my sidebar).
Here are just a few that I would recommend:

I would like to switch gears for a moment and share a blog post about the prayer breakfast that Obama attended. Here's a link to the post:
Sad. Obama Lies to National Prayer Breakfast About His Father’s Muslim Faith

Is there anything this man won’t do to pander for votes? Barack Obama today lied at the National Prayer Breakfast and covered up his father’s Muslim faith. CNN posted the transcript: This may come as a surprise...
Keep in mind the practice of taqiyah in the religion of Islam.
A LOT of great comments posted there. Here is mine:

The simple fact that ObaMARXIST spent most of the time in his speech talking about himself shows just how much God really matters to him. And, that number would be ZERO.
It was supposed to be a PRAYER breakfast. How much time did Obambi spend on prayer? I don’t know because I only saw the brief clip of ObaMAO spouting off about himself again. My guess is that it would be close to ZERO.
So, the Obumba has ZERO respect for God and spent a ZERO amount of time on prayer at a PRAYER breakfast. Besides that, he OUTRIGHTLY LIED about his father being a Muslim and ignored the fact that his step-father was a Muslim. The step-father sent Barry Soetoro to a Muslim school. A student in Indonesia doesn’t get into a Muslim school without confessing the Muslim screed about Allah and Mohammad as this messenger.
God’s Word has many messages for Obummer, who is a LIAR and thinks he is wise. This is just one of them:
1Cr 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Cr 1:26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
1Cr 1:27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
1Cr 1:28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,
1Cr 1:29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
1Cr 1:30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
1Cr 1:31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”
Perhaps you will notice that I use several descriptive names for Obama. The reason is because he represents the meaning behind each of those names.
ObaMARXIST - Obama's policies and actions have proven to me that his far left progressive political leanings favor Marxism.
Obambi - He is foolish (see the 1 Corinthians verses above) - like a cartoon character disguised as something harmless, but at the same time dangerous as any Marxist, socialist, or Mao supporter would be.
ObaMAO - See above. Also, recall that a woman who worked at the White House - Anita Dunn - spouted in a church that "the two people she admires most are Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa." She went on to say, "not often coupled in the same sentence, but the two that I turn to most." How lovely. She admires and turns to Mao who was responsible for over 70 million deaths?? Obama had a huge round ornament placed on the White House Christmas tree with Mao's likeness on it. Nice...huh?
Obumba - He's a bumbling idiot for causing more economic trouble for the United States with his failed policies and his weak foreign policy. It makes one wonder, just whose side is Obama on? It doesn't appear to be the side of America and our closest Middle East ally - Israel. In fact, his actions appear downright treasonous to me.
Obummer - There are lots of meanings to the word, "bummer" but I think that the following definitions all work in describing him:
2. any unpleasant or disappointing experience: That concert was a real bummer.
7. Slang . to ruin or spoil: The weather bummed our whole weekend.
–adjective Slang .
10. of poor, wretched, or miserable quality; worthless.
11. disappointing; unpleasant.
12. erroneous or ill-advised; misleading: That tip on the stock market was a bum steer.
13. lame: a bum leg.
—Idioms
15. bum (someone) out, Slang . to disappoint, upset, or annoy: It really bummed me out that she could have helped and didn't.
b. in a state of disrepair or disorder: The oven is on the bum again.
From Dictionary.com
So you see, my aim was not just to call Obama names. It was for the purpose of describing him and his foolishness.
God is good. He often uses bad situations to awaken us from our comfort zones in order to get us active again to regain and preserve our freedoms.
This awful experience of Obama as pResident has awakened the sleeping giant of conservatism in the United States of America. Groups such as the TEA Party are working hard to get the majority of Americans out to the polls to vote out the bums in Congress (as we did in 2010). Next, is making Obama a one term pResident with a victory for the Republican nominee (whoever he or she may be) in 2012. It is then that we can turn this ship of fools from taking us down the dark path we are on, replace them with those who believe in our Constitution, Founding Fathers, Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Republic that was originally created for this great nation - THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
