A week after U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was killed
in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, President Barack
Obama sent U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice out to tell us, “What
happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction?.?.?.
as a consequence of the video, that people gathered outside the
embassy and then it grew very violent.”

Actually, Mr. President?.?.?. no. There was no “spontaneous
reaction.” It was a terrorist attack, and nothing but a
terrorist attack.

For two weeks, Obama’s spokesman told us that this deadly attack
was just a movie review gone wrong. As Jay Carney said on Sept.
18, “We saw no evidence to back up claims by others that this
was a preplanned or premeditated attack.”

Actually, Mr. President?.?.?. no. Multiple sources confirm that
your administration knew it was a “preplanned,” “premeditated
attack” within 24 hours. Far from having “no evidence,” your
administration had already identified a possible target for
retaliation within a day of Stevens’ murder.

Last week, Obama sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton out to
say the FBI was on top of the investigation in Libya. FBI
Associate Deputy Director Kevin Perkins told Congress on Sept.
19 that an investigation was underway.

Actually, Mr. President?.?.?. no. As of this writing, no FBI
agent has even arrived in Benghazi. CNN reports the “crime
scene” has yet to even be secured.

And on Tuesday, Mr. President, you gave a speech at the United
Nations about the violence against America, in which you
mentioned YouTube a half-dozen times, but didn’t use the word
“terrorist” or “terrorism” once.

Actually, Mr. President?.?.?. that’s just pathetic.

Karl Rove just said “Mr. Obama has taken ordinary political
differences beyond anything we’ve seen.”

I’m with Rove. I’ve seen “spin,” I’ve seen parsing “the
definition of ‘is,’?” but I’ve never seen anything like this
avalanche of outright lies.

An Obama TV ad now claims “chances are you pay a higher tax rate
than Mitt Romney.”

Actually, Mr. President?.?.?. no.

Romney’s tax rate is a matter of record: 14.1 percent, well
above the 9.1 percent effective rate of the average American.
How do I know Romney’s rate? Because it’s reported — in the ad!

Given that Romney is in the top 20 percent of taxpayers, there’s
an 80 percent chance you don’t pay as high a rate as he does.
This isn’t “spin” or a math loophole. It’s yet another lie.

A politician who lacks the courage to keep his word is old news.
What makes Obama different is that you can’t trust the words
coming out of his mouth right now.

What happened in Ben-ghazi happened. What Obama told us about
it, just 48 hours ago, was simply not true.

And he wants us to trust him with four more years?
