When Twit-in-Chief had his self-promoting, staged Twitter Town Hall, he commented the following:
"We froze federal pay for federal workers for two years. Now, that wasn’t real popular, as you might imagine, among federal workers. On the other hand, we were able to do that precisely because we wanted to prevent layoffs and we wanted to make sure that we sent a signal that everybody is going to have to make some sacrifices, including federal workers. By the way, people who work in the White House, they’ve had their pay frozen since I came in, our high-wage folks. So they haven’t had a raise in two and a half years".
Fact Numero Uno: Across the board Federal pay freezes went into effect January 2011, Obama began office January 2009. See link. Raises banned in 2009 were only for those making $100, 000 or more, not for everyone, as Obama cites.
Fact Numero Dos: 75% of all White House staffers got raises in the 2009-2010 time frame.See link.
Fact Numero Tres: 54% of all White House staffers enjoyed raises from 2010-2011. See link here and here.
There you go, The Obama Lie-fecta!
There you go, The Obama Lie-fecta!
When the White House was asked by a conservative blogger to respond to their own statistical data which is available to the public (and was contrary to what Obama said), they stated "Pay increases were given for a variety of reasons, ranging from promotions to additional responsibilities". So once again, Pres. Obamaurkel deprives us of the facts. A more credible response would have been "no one at the White House received a pay increases, unless they deserved it, or sometimes even when they didn’t, or because we changed their job title or because we gave them a few more tasks. Otherwise, absolutely no one got a raise".
I remember when the media assured us that everything the President (Bush) said was a lie, even when it wasn’t, and explained to us that this was because he was so stupid. But now they assure us that everything the President (Obama) says is the truth, even when it isn’t, and explain to us that it is because he is so brilliant. Once again, the mainstream media nowhere to be found. Well, excuse me, they have been beside themselves with the one thing that they believe matters most to Americans-- THEY FOUND CASEY INNOCENT!

The fact is since Obama bamboozled 52% of the American populace. White House employees have averaged an 8% annual raise where the private sector has suffered at less than 3%.
I am demanding an Obama pay-freeze from my employer this year!
