Obama Caught Boldface Lying To America About Caterpillar Corp/Stimulus

February 13th, 2009 (3) Posted By .

EAST PEORIA, ILL. — President Obama today repeated the claim we asked about yesterday at the press briefing that Jim Owens, the CEO of Caterpillar, Inc., “said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.”

Caterpillar announced 22,000 layoffs last month.

But after the president left the event, Owens said the exact opposite.

Asked if the stimulus package would be able to stop the 22,000 layoffs or not, Owens said, “I think realistically no. The truth is we’re going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again”

“It is going to take some time before that stimulus bill” means re-hiring, he said.

This is the same Caterpillar that had a deal to sell ALOT of gear to Colombia and had that nixed by failing to pass the trade bill.
Obama supported nixing that bill because he ‘felt Colombia was hindering union organizing activity in their country’ so now CAT is laying folks off.
Takes real stones to show up on their factory floor… he should have been hung right there.

Are we really surprised? Obambi will lie through his teeth just like the rest of his dhimmicrat buddies to get what he wants. He knows that the lamestream media will not examine or question that statement, so he feels free to make it – this has been a dhimmicrat tactic for years – let the media propogate a lie until it becomes the “truth.”
