And the Winner of Last Week's Biggest Lie Goes to................

Hi Everyone,

By now you all know that I am an equal party abuser. I call them like I see them, using facts, not innuendo, spin or lies. Just the facts and nothing but the facts!

Last week Michelle Obama gave an interview. During the interview, she was asked what her plans were after her husband leaves office. Mrs. Obama stated that her post-White House chapter life will not be a political one. President Obama confirmed that his wife had no interest in running for office or having a political career after he leaves office. So let me get this correct with her straight forward answer to a straight forward question and her husband's concurrence: Mrs. Obama is not interested and does not want a political career. Her statement obviously means that she is not interested in running for President or any other elected or non-elected political position, period, end of story!

Well not so fast as to the end of the story. Interesting enough, there is a politician who doesn't either: understand the English language, believes the exact opposite of what someone says and/or just doesn't have an ounce of common sense. The politician I am writing about is Republican Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois. Senator Kirk is considering a run for President in 2016. So what did this supposedly intelligent politician do? According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Kirk sent out a fundraising letter invoking the first lady as his possible opponent in 2016. Why did he think Mrs. Obama might be his opponent? Kirk stated in his campaign solicitation, that he heard this from "the press and rumor mills." In addition, he stated in his request for money that he takes, "all potential threats seriously." Really? Mrs. Obama is a threat to him? Even when she stated ever so explicitly that she isn't interested in a political career. Any politician who believes rumors as fact ought to be voted out of office ASAP!

Kirk's statements are an outright, bold face lie!!! This is all part of the fear mongering and the spreading of falsehoods based on lies or based on rumor mills that the GOP does oh so well. Since I do not know Kirk personally, nor do I want to, I can't comment on his intelligence. But his utter lack of common sense is self explanatory as evidenced by his own solicitation letter. I can't wait to hear how Kirk or his "people" will spin the facts on his absurd and false written statements. Chicago voters should take heed when he is up for re-election. Additionally, the American voter should also take heed if Kirk absurdly decides to run for President. Once a liar, always a liar.

Enough said.

Til next week.
