It appears that President Barack Obama got caught in another lie. No, not about the economy or health care or whether he knows former terrorist Bill Ayers. It's a lie about an insignificant television show and one of its stars.
However, according to a video obtained by The Gawker, only a couple of months earlier he mentioned Snooki during the White House Press Correspondents Dinner as part of a comedy bit about a health care bill section tongue-and-cheekly named after the MTV reality show.
Obama said the provision reads: The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, JWOWW, The Situation and House minority leader John Boehner.
"This reminds me of Hillary Clinton's whoppers like when she claimed her daughter Chelsea was near ground zero on September 11, 2001, or when she claimed she dodged bullets in Iraq, or during her Senate run she said the New York Yankees were always her favorite team," said political strategist Steven Harriman.
"Personally, this flub or fib or whatever you wish to call it is a sign of Obama sharing the same dishonest streak that is pervasive with Bill and Hillary Clinton. They lie about insignificant things," said Harriman.

Get real. At the Correspondent's Dinner, he was reciting a speech someone wrote for him. Nice try, pinhead.
obama opens mouth....out comes the the lies....over & over again...just look at his eyes...you can tell all he has is lies...
Following DinX....You are an idiot. He was doing exactly that; reciting a speech with punchlines, written for him by a WH speechwriter. I'm so sure, that he's going to lie about Snooki. Why don't you go hang out with other ignoramus types like the Jersey Shore crew? Seems like you share the same IQ. Even some conservatives gave him a huge thumbs up on his appearance yesterday. Why? Because he rocks. Go ask Sarah P. to "refudiate" that one.
Thank You for giving us the above writings.
As I watched the President on The View, I couldn't stand the shine and slight smile on his face as he said he hadn't been in campaign mode for months. Here as he is on TV, he is always on a campaign mode, as we watch him.
Do you notice everytime he tells us an untruth, his face lights up and his ego starts to bring out a shine on his face and a slight smile as he is untruthful with the American People and knows he is getting away with it.
The author of the article assumes that Obama actually understands and comprehends what he reads from the teleprompter.
Most likely he read the joke off the teleprompter without having a clue as to who Snooki is.
I have lots of issues with Obama. This isn't one of them.
Yes, Obama "lying" about Snooki is a real public safety issue. What is the point of this article? You should change your name to "Pointless Drivel Examiner"
Doesn't our President have more pressing issues than being on a daytime talk show "that his wife watches" that's why he fibbed.
He is a pathological lair, and those facts are irrefutable. He doesn't just get up and give a speech without knowing its content. Who do you think scrubs his speech? He does. The fact is his occupancy in the White House is a lie.
If you want to start counting lies, you should first start with the last administration. Weapons of Mass destruction in Iraq, Mission Accomplished, and statements about the economy being sound are just a few zingers. Oh, that's right, most of you folks like to forget that Bush doubled the national debt on his watch and like to blame the current president for the financial meltdown.
Do we miss GW yet? Hardly. GW is synonymous with "lie."
Jim, Jim, Jim, only an immature child tries to excuse bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior. And DinX and Kristen, I love it when I read a lefties admit that Obama reads a teleprompter and doesn't comprehend what he reads.
