Obama Cites Debunked Claim That Most Guns in Mexico Come From U.S.


"A demand for these drugs in the United States is what is helping keep these cartels in business ... more than 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States," President Barack Obama said Thursday. However, Fox News debunked this claim weeks ago: "It's just not true. In fact, it's not even close. The fact is, only 17 percent of guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S."

Here is just another example of Obama lying to the US public to make the changes he and the rest of world want for the US. This man needs to be impeached. If we allow this type of speaking lies to continue we will no longer be the USA. we will be OBamaUSA. Next we will the brown shirts arrive and start infringing on our rights of speach, choice and freedom.

God help us ALL.

If the BOY stops the drugs from mexico, where’s he going to get his coke?

Our current Executive Administration is built on the Clinton’s policy of telling a whopper often enough til it’s beleived…WJC “worst economy since depression, I did not have sex with that woman, I did not inhale, I balanced the budget” and now BHO “reduce taxes, restore credibility, create jobs, respect in the world again, blah blah blah ad nauseum. Right out of the Marxist playbook this president is following. He has not played by the rules so why should we? If you want to see the blueprint read Paul Johnsons’ “Modern Times” about the rise of Lenin and Hitler. We have another leader with their extreme “will to power” in the Whitehouse. All of you Liberals dolts, just keep talking. You are radicalizing tens of thousands of Americans who are finally waking up to an ilegally elected President, never proven born as an American, and a Chicago thug by WJC’s own admission…a marxist-leninist, a master class envy opportunist, and shameless race card player if ever there was one. 2010 is going to be a fun election cycle…if the Republic lasts that long.

If his lips are moving……

This is what happens when parents dump their children on others…father skips town, mom goes off to pursue her dreams…and poor barry gets dumped at Grandmas house. The result is a pathological liar and sociopath. That’s what we have here. No character, no morals, no loyalty, no honesty. A shell. With a speechwriter.

Boy are we in trouble. We actually have the inmates in charge of the asylum. Hillary started this lie, like she lied on the gunfire coming out of the plane, like she lied about General Petraus, and Obama just repeats these lies. Boy are we in trouble. It is only been 100 days, I feel like it has been 1,000 days

campsteveo   April 16th, 2009 - 9:54 pm

I am speechless. Why is our President in a foreign country blaming guns manufactured in the US for thousands of deaths? What is this guy doing to US?

Yeah, well back in the 60’s me and ole’ JFK actually eiffle-towered Pelosi, that was before she started taking meds for her pshycosis. Well to make a long story short I applied for memebership at the local illuminati, I mean Masonic lodge but I got wasted and took a sh!t on their checkered floor and fell off the top of the 13 pillars and I tried to sue them but they flew in some lawyers from zion, so i’ve been bogged down in litigation ever since. Well I don’t know what to say other than we should probably go ahead and outlaw silverware cause it could be dangerous and people might ship it to Mexico. I think if we went to chopsticks only as a nation we’d be better off.

I learned today when I said my prayers to Obama that the planet Mars is made of cream cheese and has molten chocolate in the middle. He told me so – and it must be correct.

observer   April 16th, 2009 - 10:51 pm

Maybe he’s not lying this time.

I can’t imagine anyone stupid enough to fire off a gun made in Mexico.

Perfectly stated – The guy wrote a book or was it two books praising his worthless father, a serial fornicator who walked off and dumped him in the trash.

James K   April 16th, 2009 - 11:39 pm

mark, I know you’ve been trolling the other video posts today, I’d love to read your thoughts here.

. . . I’m waiting

Oldbluesboy   April 17th, 2009 - 12:05 am

I hate to break this to you, “Your Royal Know Nothing” Obama, but citizens of the U.S. CAN NOT buy automatic assault rifles (rapid fire) in this country. They can only be obtained from the manufacturers for the military and law enforcement officials. Gun dealers are allowed to sell SEMI-automatic weapons which fire one shot per trigger pull. The latter is not what the cartels are using. It must be YOUR government law enforcement people selling these FULLY AUTOMATIC weapons to the Cartels.

Besides that, there are over 300 cartel gangs operating in the U.S. There is one about five miles from me. If I know this, why don’t you???

I make no apologies for my country.

Shane   April 17th, 2009 - 6:39 am

The leftist news media can’t cover up all the lies anymore. That is how the marxist democrats have been getting away with what they have been doing for the past 40 years. It’s over and they know it. Why do you think they keep attacking Fox News all the time. I’ve been waiting for this to happen for so long. What happens to people who have had complete control for years and now see that control being ripped away? They go NUTS!!! I think it’s funny watching “PEOPLE” like Chris Mathews loose their minds. Isn’t Free Speech a great thing? YES YES YES LMAO!!!!

claspur   April 17th, 2009 - 8:37 am

Is anyone else noticeing that we aren’t seeing any of the weapons confiscated by either government?
I understand most are AK’s brought-i from South America.

Dr Mary Patt Jordan   April 17th, 2009 - 9:40 am

By any means necessary, those who voted for senator hussein must be prevented from ever voting again.

They are easy to identify with their “0″ bumper stickers and shrill anti-American voices.

You know where they are in your neighborhoods, you know what to do when the time comes.

Matt   April 17th, 2009 - 9:58 am

Demand for drugs does not justify supply and if I dont here someone say that it is flat out wrong that they continue to sell drugs then they are not helping the matter at all. I also think that there needs to be a lot more pressure futher down in Central and South America. Mexico is not the only source of supply it is the flash point.

Sean R.   April 17th, 2009 - 10:44 am

I know that what I’m about to say is going to stun some of the conservative posters here, it’s going to be up to the Democrats (whether their Conservative-Democrats, moderate-Liberal-Democrats, etc.) in order to save we the people in this country! The reason why I say that is because most of the Democrats in office right now are going to be in a race in the 2010 election, if the Democrats don’t stand up to this JUCO (Junior College) Professor’s administration, then they’ll be out of office in next year’s election. And where is the so-called Republicans on this? They are nowhere to be heard or seen, because it’s clear to me that Obama bought and sold the GOP like a bunch of prostitutes so they can keep their mouths shut!

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!

Vietnam Veteran   April 17th, 2009 - 11:11 am

Did you ever notice that when a liberal democrat is being interviewed, even on FOX, they can not make their point by telling the truth. They all must bend the truth or tell a downright lie. Just tune into any MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, or NBC news program and listen for a while. For President Obama to lie is just natural. The strategy of these fictional news broadcasts is to convince their viewers that what they are saying is, in fact, the truth. To put it more candid, They Lie.

dr jay   April 17th, 2009 - 2:52 pm

when i heard the big O lying about this i went right out and bought another assault rifle just to feel good for a little while. the lies about this issue are of course a precursor for the planned disarmament of our country. i think the big O is going to get more opposition to his ideas than his people will be able to squash.

No Bama   April 17th, 2009 - 10:59 pm

If the United States really wanted to identify the enemies of the USA, the list would include President Obama.

If we Americans are so bad why doesn’t Obamawood move we won’t miss him. Obamawood is just a liar and thinks the white house is a stage in hollywood. Obamawood is just talk and more talk when is Obamawood going to be proud to be an American his wife Micheal is now that his is president. What a bunch of loosers the dog BO has more brains than the Obamawoods and the Dems in office.

GreginAtlanta   April 19th, 2009 - 9:33 am

Obama is not a leader. That’s why he has appointed so many failures, cheats, so many czars and others to “advise” him on issues. It’s not that he is trying to escape responsibility. He is simply incapable of understanding the full impact of his programs and policies.

This is dangerous because people will be making decisions and forming policy separate from one another. The result will be chaos. Imagine, less than 6 months into his term and already people are demonstrating in the streets. His Presidency is doomed to failure. It’s ironic he compared him self to so many other noted Presidents when he will be compared to Jimmy Carter, and no one else.

He’s a pathetic President although he is a great campaigner.
