At Least A Liar Per Day Now

During yesterday's press briefing,Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked a question related to Chief Justice Roberts comments regarding the impropriety of Obama's remarks during the SOTU speech directed at the ruling dealing with corporate campaign contributions.

Gibbs stated that Obama didn't feel an apology was in order, the ruling was wrong and 80% of the American people agreed.

Oh really? 80%

Today Fox News has a story out concerning Eric Holder omitting the majority of briefs he filed with the Supreme Court which were requested by the Senate confirmation hearing committee in early 2009.

I didn't bother to show the full story, just some salient paragraphs.

What do you want to bet the information in the "forgotten" file were very incriminating. Do you think the missing Obama birth certificate was in there, or Obama/Larry Sinclair nude photos or Holder's, Khaled Sheik Mohammed fan club membership card?

At a time when government files are computerized to the nth degree, we are to believe an Assistant Attorney General loses track of how many terrorism Briefs he has submitted to the Supreme Court, that 7 of 12 files somehow got overlooked???

When it comes to telling a lie, Holder thinks 62.5% is believable, Gibbs thinks 80%, Obama thinks he has us all fooled.

DOJ: Holder Omissions Wider Than Thought
March 12, 2010 - 3:11 PM | by: Mike Levine

Eric Holder
A day after Republicans on Capitol Hill said they were "deeply concerned" over news that, during his confirmation process, Attorney General Eric Holder failed to disclose work on a terrorism-related legal brief, the Justice Department revealed Friday that the problem was wider than previously known......

.......After President Obama nominated Holder to be attorney general, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent Holder a 47-page questionnaire, including a request for any briefs he had filed with the Supreme Court "in connection with your practice."

In response, Holder said he participated in a total of five such briefs, none of which dealt with terrorism-related issues. He signed a statement saying the information he provided was accurate and complete "to the best of my knowledge."

But it turns out Holder participated in at least 12 briefs filed with the Supreme Court, two of which dealt with terrorism-related issues.

Still, Miller suggested on Wednesday, Holder has always been open about his views on fighting terrorism.

"The attorney general has said many times publicly (that) the government has ample lawful ability to detain and interrogate terrorists and disrupt attacks without resorting to making claims of executive power that strain the Constitution," Miller said.
