Obama Appoints Andy Stern to Deficit Comission

I don't know how, but some how, the SEIU head guru, Andy Stern has gotten around president Obama's 'no lobbyist' policy. Andy Stern is a big time lobbyist. He is from the SEIU of all places!

This is the guy who has said, he will not have lobbyists in his administration. He already has hundreds. Now this guy! This is president, unlike any other. Bush, lied a lot, but you knew he was lying when he did. He knew it. But this guy, this guy, he seriously thinks he is being honest with you. Even when he is telling a complete lie. He has a gift, he can look you straight in the face, and tell and all out lie, and act like it is right. And people believe him!

The current senate bill in 10 years will cost us 2.5 trillion dollars adding billions to the deficit. Now, if you remember, back in October, we were assured that nothing he passed would add a single dime to the deficit. Well that is the biggest lie i've heard.

Look up the lobbyists in his administration. He has told everyone a lie. And he has gotten away with it. I have never been so frustrated with a president ever. I mean, Nixon, sure he did a bad thing, he lied, but this guy. I- Nixon looks like a great trustworthy man compared to this guy. This, he just looks at you and lies, and the media just sucks up to him, doesn't report it, and then they get government funds! (MSNBC).

He doesn't have lobbyists!!! That is what he told us during his SOTU. So then Andy Stern, well, he simply avoided that policy. He got in, and no one is saying anything.
