DECEPTION ALERT: Obama Lies Again - claims more than 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the US.
72Obama "a Rammin'"
Barack Obama Lies Often – and With Implied Malice
Barack Obama lies often - we all have seen, read, or heard him lie. But what is surprising is that he seems to get away with it – most of the time.
But President Obama got caught in one of his Lies about America. And it's especially bad since he was on foreign soil when he Denigrated America. I thought only ex-president Carter did that type of despicable act.
The Lie
At a press conference in Mexico recently, President Obama made the following statement, "This war is being waged with guns purchased not here, but in the United States. More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that line our shared border". This is an intentional Lie by President Obama, probably with the help of his staff. President Obama is Denigrating the United States while on foreign soil. That is a disgraceful act.
Obama is clearly stating that more than 90 percent of all guns captured from the cartels - recovered in Mexico - originated in America. Remember, words have meaning. We craft our thoughts and speeches with words in sentences. So let's dissect Obama's words and sentences to see the real message he wants to give to the world about America:
Dissecting Obama's Words and Sentences:
1. "This war is being waged with guns purchased … in the United States.": Consider this illustration: If an organization is waging a war with 25% of their guns purchased from source A, 30% from source B, 27% from source C, and 18% from source D, would you be accurate if you state. "This war is being waged with guns purchased...from source D"? That statement would give people a false idea. People would think that the major source of guns was purchased from source D, but the facts are 82% of the guns are from other sources. Why did Obama and his Staff craft the sentence this way? Was there an ulterior motive to smear America?
2. "… guns purchased not here, but in the United States." and “many from gun shops that line our shared border”: This part of Obama’s statement creates an either-or situation. Either the guns were purchased from gun shops within Mexico, or they came from gun shops in the United States. This was deceptively crafted by Obama and his staff to create a false idea. Using the illustration above, this would create the idea that sources A, B, and C are from gun shops within Mexico, and the other source, D, is from gun shops in the United States. Obama’s words hide the fact that sources A, B, and C could be ‘purchased’ illegally from the Mexican police or army, or ‘purchased’ illegally from gun smugglers bring guns into Mexico from countries other than the United States? But Obama and his staff create a false idea that there are two sources – gun shops within Mexico and gun shops in the Untied States. Obama’s well crafted statement hides many of the ‘other’ sources of guns that were recovered from the drug cartels – and puts a huge blame for all the killing in Mexico and drug smuggling into the United States onto the American gun shops (AND our Constitution/Second Amendment rights, which allows American citizens to own guns – therefore, this is an attack on our Constitution too!).
3. “More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States”: In 2007-2008, according to ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms):
- Mexican officials recovered 29,000 firearms at crime scenes in Mexico.
- Mexico submitted 11,000, or 38 percent of the Total, of those firearms to ATF for tracing. (FOX News has previously reported that a large percentage of firearms recovered in Mexico from the drug cartels are not submitted to U.S. officials for tracing because they lack the necessary markings.)
- Yet, according to the ATF, of the 11,000 submitted to U.S. officials for tracing, only 6,000, or 20 percent of the Total, could be traced somewhere because of the serial numbers or other distinctive markings (but why did Mexico send an additional 5,000 firearms to ATF if those firearms did NOT have serial numbers or other distinctive markings?).
- AND of those 6,000 firearms, 5,114 or 90 percent of the 6,000 (not the Total), were found to have been smuggled from the U.S. Actually, 5114 out of 6000 is 85 percent – so who did the bad math?
- That means, of the 29,000 firearms recovered by Mexico, only 5,114 firearms, - 17.6 percent OF THE TOTAL - were traceable weapons linked to a United States source - NOT more than 90 percent of the “recovered” 29,000 as Obama claims.
- "More than 90 percent" - Actually, the meaningless false percentage Obama was using should have been 85 percent, but he also exaggerated the Lie. Maybe Barry skipped some math classes in high school or college. Let's see, "crack cocaine or math, marijuana or math, booze or math, crack cocaine or ... or ... Enough said...
- There is only One statistic that really matters – the percent of the Total number of guns recovered by the Mexicans that were traceable to American sources – which is 17.6 percent. But President Obama ignores real facts to Denigrate America and attack the Constitution of America. OBAMA??? Do you KNOW what you are Doing?? Sadly, he does!!!
President Obama's use of factual distortion to Remake America.
The White House stands by the president's use of the word "recovered" in describing the role firearms smuggled from the U.S. play in Mexico's drug war.
"We feel good about these numbers and that's why the president uses the word recovered," states senior National Security Council Spokesman Denis McDonough.
President Obama is intelligent enough to know the difference between the words, “recovered” and “traceable”. But he is also deceptive and sly enough to know how to deceive people – to get Americans and the people of the World to believe in a false perception of things. So Obama uses the two words interchangeably to craft this Lie. People tend to believe what they hear or read from a reputable source. We would hope that government officials will actually tell us the truth. We would hope that newspapers and TV news reporters will be unbiased and tell us the truth. We have this HOPE, but what we actually get is HYPE and CON – from President Obama, his Staff, most politicians, and the main stream media. Obama’s Change is a “Remaking of America” (Obama’s words) by trashing our Constitution.
And with the promise of Transparency, we get a con man’s slight-of-hand – as he distracts us while he picks our pocket. Hey, What’s in Our Wallets– the collective hands of President Obama, Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton, Timothy Geithner, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd, and let’s not forget about those Republicans - George Bush, Henry Paulson, and others, Plus the Federal Reserve. Not only are they after the U.S. Dollars in our Wallets, but our U.S. Rights under the Constitution and Amendments.

Exposing President Obama’s Hidden Motives Behind this Lie
This article by FOXNews exposes President Obama’s Lie, but doesn’t go deep enough into the inner workings of President Obama’s trickery and motives. In my article, I’m looking deeper into how President Obama and his Staff craft their deceptions and possibly expose their hidden motive.
Obama's Lie - Accidental or Intentional:
For Example, If Obama were to say the facts show the guns...
1.) ...are "more than 90%" from America, but in reality it's 89.3%, then that is 'almost' correct - fairly good accuracy - but it still would have been better to say it was "about 90%". That slight error could be accidental or probably sloppiness.
2.) ...are "more than 90%" from America, but in reality it's 49.8%, then that is a significant error - not even close - a major exaggeration - and it would have been much more accurate to say it was "about 50%". That significant error in intentional.
3.) ...are "more than 90%" from America, but in reality it's "17.6%", then that is a Gross Error - an Obvious Intentional Error - a Lie - and ALWAYS that means there is a Hidden Motive - ALWAYS.
So with President Obama, we are looking for the Hidden Motives behind the Lie founded on the Obvious Intentional Gross Error.
If I can discover President Obama’s Hidden Motives, then I have described a set of Truths – and the amazing thing about Truth is that not only does Truth Expose a Lie or a Hidden Motive, but Truth will also Reveal and Explain what is really going on around us – outwardly visible and inwardly hidden. Truth becomes a Light exposing the Darkness and all the things that crafty, deceptive, con people brew up in “their” Darkness. So in the future, with Truth, we can spot their new Lies, and see the connection to their old Lies – ‘their plan’ – and the acting out of ‘their motives’.
President Obama's Hidden Motives
The Motives --> The Plan --> The Agenda
Keeping in mind recent events concerning the Obama Administration, consider these possible Ulterior Motives:
- Smear America using factual and statistical distortion. Then in a year or two, revisit the situation, and with proper math and facts, show how Obama and his politics and policies of Change have ‘cleaned up’ America. Example: Like the “90 percent of guns recovered in Mexico are from America” Lie: Revisit the Mexico drugs/guns situation in a couple years and show how Obama has improved things – “Hey, Now, only 17.6 percent of the “recovered” guns are from America”. Now, ‘at the appointed time’, Obama’s words are true. Another miracle performed by Obama.
- Make America look bad to the World and America, in order to promote changes to the Constitution and Amendments. Example: With the Mexico drugs/guns situation, Obama blames the American gun shops and therefore, the American Constitution, especially the Second Amendment. This will help Obama and Congress change gun laws to Reduce the killing of innocent lives (hmmm, since drug cartels killing each other is most of the killing – is that really a Bad thing? And are they really “innocent” lives?). Obama will be the Savior in the eyes of the world and the Obamabots. YET, no real change will occur in Mexico, since they were getting 82% of their guns from sources Other Than America anyway. And all the Obamabots say, Amen.
- Follow the advice of Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” So early in the Obama Administration, while his charismatic popularity is high (and the mind-numbing Kool-Aid is flowing), ram through as much radical left-wing legislation as possible, such as legislation to trash the Second Amendment.
But for Americans, Rahm Emanuel’s advice has a dark side. Consider the words of the German Interior Minister’s views of politics during times of crisis, “We learned from the worldwide economic crisis of the 1920s (1930s) that an economic crisis can result in an incredible threat for all of society. The consequences of that depression was Adolf Hitler and, indirectly, World War II and Auschwitz”.
Keep up the good work Rahm, you’re right on track…
- Don’t worry about outright Lies. The Obama-bots, Democrat-bots, “Liberty-from-Conscience"-bots, and biased main stream media puppet-bots are still experiencing the mind-numbing effects of the Messiah’s Kool-Aid. These people spent 8 years frothing at the mouth and Hating Bush, Hating Bush, … , and of course, Hating Bush, so now they are ready for a lot of Obama-butt-kissing “I BELIEVE HIM” blindness. So when Obama Lies that "more than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the US" - the monkey-bots don't see the Lie, don't hear the Lie, and don't speak about Obama's Lie.
Obama’s "modus operandi": He can Lie and Con at Will - Because his Moneky-bots do not see, do not hear, and do not speak the evils of Obama.
For my "detailed" analysis of President Obama's Hidden Motives
The Three "Unwise" Monkey-bots
President Obama’s Ulterior Motives – Hidden No More
Is there a ring of Truth in the above listed Motives? Do these Motives explain the recent events? If so, we can use these Motives to better spot future Lies and the trashing of the Constitution. We know ‘their plan’ and ‘their motive’. Now, we must work to undo Obama’s evil actions. AMEN.
President Obama, "You Lie!".

* What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's cabinet--including Hillary Clinton--are trying to hide
* Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry, unaccountable "czars" than any other administration
* How Team Obama's first one hundred days of appointments became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons
* How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand their power
* How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and helping their friends
In Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the liberal media would rather keep hidden.

It takes a liar to know a liar. Where do you think the drug lords in Mexico are getting their weapons? I don't believe there are any gun manufacturers in Mexico. How many children, and innocent victims of drive by shootings must be killed by lunatics with guns before we learn that blood money from guns must be stopped? Are you an employee of the NRA by any chance? You sure worked hard on this hub.
Ralph,
Its the drugs, its the drugs, its the drugs
Preventing guns from reaching law abiding citizens is not going to stop the bad guys from getting the guns, just like Cocaine and other drugs that are illegal get to the people that want them.
You are losing sight that the real problem is the drugs. The guns are there to protect the booty of the bad guys. Stop the drugs.
Criminals have no fear of any law, so banning guns won't even slow them down. The guns that you have to be concerned about are the pathetic weapons carried by the Border Patrol, while the drug dealers are armed like an army.
Ralph,
I quoted Barack Obama's own words - he used words and factual distortion to propage a Lie. All we need is some common sense and some Light to 'see' that. The statistics came from AFT and a news report that showed that most of the guns the Mexicans recover are Not from the USA. As for as innocent people being killed - most of those killed are cartel members. Let them kill each other - that will help more than hurt.
But America does deserve some blame - but mostly about our recreational drug use (Barack Obama being one of the users in his past) - which brings in the illegal drugs. Hey, but he's only addicted to cigarettes and lying now.
I have seen/heard news reports about how the drug cartels are getting their guns - 'purchased' from the mexican military, mexican police, or smuggled in from other countries. America is a minority provider of weapons of destruction for the Mexican drug cartels.
I do not own a gun and never a member of the NRA. But I don't have a problem about owning a gun - only for protection. Right now I have a kids aluminum baseball bat in my closet to use for protection - but that won't help against a bad person in my house with a gun or bad persons even without a gun. But it at leasts gives me something to fight with.
YES, I did work all day on this article.
You rely as your primary source a right-wing, so-called "news" channel that has gone off the rails in its no-longer-disguised campaign to smear Obama every chance it gets.
Well, I've got a newsflash for you, Websense: Your so-called "Expose" of Obama's so-called "Big Lie" on guns is getting no traction beyond the already-paranoid Far Right -- some of whom make no secret that they can't stomach America having a black president. Thank God they're a minority of the American populace.
Another newsflash: Obama is proving day after day just how isolated and out of touch with the majority of the American people you really are.
SkeeterVT,
Actually, the 2 FOXNews articles and the video are all based on statistics provided by the ATF. And since I graduated with a BA in Math, with Honors - ages ago, I simply used a calculator to verify and improve upon the percentages.
And if you would do a search on the web for this Lie, you will find many reputible news sources are reporting it too, like:
St. Petersburg Times - PolitiFact.com (2009 Pulitzer Prize winner). PolitiFact is a project of the St. Petersburg Times to help you find the truth in American politics. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements
FactCheck.org also verified that Obama's 'more than 90 percent' claim was greatly exaggerated, but that FOXNews might have misinterpreted some info and it might actually be 36 percent, not 17.6. I'll investigate that later, and modify my article if necessary. http://www.factcheck.org/politics/counting_mexicos
LA Times, article on drug cartel's new weaponry, "Most of these weapons are being smuggled from Central American countries or by sea, eluding U.S. and Mexican monitors who are focused on the smuggling of semiauto- matic and conventional weapons purchased from dealers in the U.S. border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-f
By the way, FOXNews is beating all the other cable news channels combined! That means more people are watching FOXNews shows than watching all the others combined. That doesn't sound like a minority. The Citizen Revolt is growing day-by-day.
Your Newsflash?: "Some" Far Right group are White Supremists or KKK, etc. and WE ALL KNOW "they" are racist. So that's really a news-flashback. That has nothing to do with 99% of this Citizen Revolt. And we are NOt all GOP or Conservative, and few are Far Right - and they are Not welcomed. I am Independent - and not associated with any man-made political ideology.
WOW, but your implication is: Anyone and Everyone who opposes Obama is a Racist!!! WOW, keep drinking your paranoia-causing Kool-Aid.
NewsFact: The Citizen Revolt - Tea Parties all over the U.S. are against high taxes, irrational high spending, taxation without representation, and especially the trashing of the Constitution by Obama and Congress. They are the Reality of the Majority of Americans!
SkeeterVT and All Readers,
Wow, I looked at all the linked references used by FactCheck.org and the only thing that was 'clear' was how good government officials giving information before Congress can make it impossible to have a 'clear' set of statistics. Even FactCheck.org did some fancy foot-work about Fox News numbers. A lot of approximate numbers and fuzzy calculations. Tax payer money at work. Such incompetence. But a sure thing - the "90 percent" value is way off for the 2007-2008 period. The main problem with Fox News numbers is IF there is a difference between guns traced to the 50 individual U.S. states and guns traced to the U.S. as a whole. In other words, could there be guns traced to the U.S., but not a specific state. It's a shame that government officials can't give us straight information. So the Fox News numbers might be approx. 35% instead of 17.6%. Obama's "90%" is still a gross error - but it's the numbers he wanted to help him weaken the Second Amendment.
Ralph- You said, "It takes a liar to know a liar." A strange statement. The best way to recognize lies is to be schooled in the truth. One who knows truth can more easily know a lie when he hears one.
BTW- according to knowledgeable sources in the area of international arms dealing, most of the weapons showing up in Mexico are coming in through South American countries.
SkeeterVT - Americans are not racist, so just stop playing the race card. If Americans were as racist as you think, we wouldn't have a black president. People are judging Obama on his actions, not on his race. Websense has backed up everything with hard facts. As soon as you do the same, we'll all listen.
Websense - I admire your carefully detailed and factual, well written and presented blog! I envy your talent. I'm a spewer. I get something stuck in my craw and simply spew it onto the screen as if I had bitten into a July 4th hot dog which had expired on Valentine's Day.
I notice you have been classified as a racist. Hmm, that seems to be the primary liberal defense against factual information. I really believe that liberals experience physical discomfort when confronted with truth, facts and logic. They deal with political issues so often on an emotional level and factual information is such a foreign concept that they react allergically to it. I believe it may actually cause a condition similar to Hives.
By the way, based upon the assumption that you are racist because of your critisism of Obama - can we assume the same of VP Joe Biden, given the way he skewered Clarence Thomas at his Senate Confirmation Hearings for the Supreme Court?
I'm a Tarheel also. Western part. You must feel like a feist living among wolves in that city!
spectator - Thanks for your comments. Hey, we need both the spewers and detailed guys. In fact, trying to get all the accurate details has slowed me down - lots of articles on the back burner.
Shamefully America got the government it deserves. We let the radical-left counter-culture crowd to drive their agenda. We let the Democrats and Republicans stray from the thoughts of the founding fathers & Contitution and give us Big Governement and restrictions of our Liberties. It's time for Independents, LIbertarians, and Constitution-based citizens to vote them out and get involved.
Obama was a student of "Rules for Radicals" and taught them to ACORN. Ridicule was one of their best weapons. So his followers run with emotions, devoid of facts, and ridicule their opponents. That's was Perez Hilton - his question was a set-up - either a contestant will declare her approval of gay marriage (an oxymoron) or he can blast her on the web. He ridiculed her relentlessly, yet she stood her ground. After that, amazingly, Obama's website dropped the support of the gay agenda. I wonder if there was a connection. Their ridicule back-fired.
Ralphy is out calling people liars again. Learn some manners instead of lib attack methods.
Take the guns away, it will be knifes. I guess we have to outlaw knifes, big sticks, rocks and even fists. Going to cut off our fists next? The drugs and the people are doing it. If the libs would quit using the drugs, we would not have as bad of a problem with drugs.
Keep on Hubbing!
This is a real piece of work; that has no point...
Your essentially condoning the fact that US weapons are in Mexico...That's ok by me;but what is the big deal that the President says its important that the US gun runners don't supply the bad guys with weapons? What is your point here?
Drugs and booze are psychosocial problems caused by the mismanagement of the stewardship responsibilities of government... Solve the psychosocial problem and solve the abuse problems...
You do not seem to want to address solutions, you appear to like to sling mud... So you may ignore this solution as you do not seem to want to work as a team in any solution...
This is what I hate about the party system, its a game of in fighting and back biting that disapates the will to produce of any constructive solution and provides a breeding ground for inept conversation...
Good luck on your rampage...
Ioua,
Obama brought a Culture of Corruption and a Hidden Agenda to the White House to destroy our rights under the Constitution. He is a master of The Rules for Radicals, where it is OK to Lie and Deceive in order to achieve his goals. My Hub shows how Obama is working his Agenda with his skillful art of Lying. That's why this Hub is a Deception Alert - That's the Point. My message to Barack Obama is, "You Lie".
There is a Citizen Revolt against corrupt government and Big Government. We are disgusted with both Democrats and Republicans - both Parties! Many of us want to Vote Out all the incumbents.
To all,,
Mexico, Guns, Drugs. Race, liberals, Conservatives, it goes on and on, but if we just were all willing to live by the 10 commandments and follow our Constitution, we would not be having these rabid conversations. Of course it does not change the fact that Obama is taking our country in the
wrong direction and those who complain are labeled racist!
Keep following and believing in the Obama agenda and before long you will be singing the praise,,,
PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!
What sticks in my craw is the perception that people have of their opinions. Here in the Land of the Free, we each have the right to our opinion. We each have the right express our opinion. And that's ok. What gets lost is the respect for other opinions even if they differ from ours.
A lot of people have the opinion that if you're not for me then you're against me. Therefore I hate you and you must be beat down into the ground until you learn your place.
Patrick Henry said it best, "You have the right to Freedom of Speech. I may not like what you have to say. I may oppose what you have to say with every bone in my body. BUT, I will defend to the Death your right to say it!" That, of course is a paraphrase, but it does demonstrate the height of respect he had for anyone to express themselves.
Good work Websense. I thought you covered your intended topic very well; the lies of Obama. I happen to believe that any ethnicity could make a good president here in America, the melting pot, but Obama has some real issues surrounding him. He just happened to get "picked" for the job like a claw machine that dangled a "toy" of Americans hopes and dreams in our faces last election. It was a great idea, he just had the wrong motives for the job. BTW I have personally experienced racism against me as a WHITE person by other races. Its not just whites who are capable of being racist in this country. We are just the favorite red-headed stepchild to blame it on.

Websense,
Good job
BTW, was there any mention of the NRA?
