Barak's Greatest Hits

So I Googled "Obama's Lies" just to see what came up.  One guy had a list of 800.  Two others had lists of 252.  However, since brevity is the soul of wit, I shall list twenty of my all-time favorites lies and Obama-isms, in no particular order:

1.  "We will close the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay."

2.  "If we have not gotten our troops out [of Iraq] by he time I am president, it is the first thing I will do."

3.  "Today I'm pledging to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term in office."

4.  "As soon as we're out of this recession, we've got to get serious about starting to live within our means."

5.  We agree on reforms that will reduce the cost of healthcare.  Families will save on their premiums."


6.  "We've got shovel-ready projects across the country."

7.  "We reject the use of national security...to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime."

8.  "We will insure that federal contracts over $25,000 are competitively bid.

9.  "We will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year."

10. "We are going to work with you to lower your [healthcare] premiums by $2,500 and we'll do it by the end of my first term as president."

11.  "I don't take a dime of their [lobbyists'] money, and when I am president, they won't find a job in my White House."

12.  "I pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution."  (That's a particularly funny one.)

13.  If you've got a business — you didn't build that.  Somebody else made that happen."

14.  "The sequester is not something that I've proposed.  It is something that Congress has proposed."

15.  "I didn't set a red line [in Syria]."

16.  "It's here that companies like Solyndra are leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future."

17.  To Israel:  "We have not only made sure that they [Iran] have to stop adding additional centrifuges, we've also said that they're got to roll back their 20% advancement enrichment ...down to zero."

18.  "Eighty percent of Americans support including higher taxes as part of the [debt ceiling] deal."

19.  In 2006: "America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.  Americans deserve better.  I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit."

And, of course we cannot forget Politifact's 2013 Lie of the Year : "If you like your healthcare plan, you'll be able to keep your healthcare plan, period.  No one will take it away, no matter what...You can keep your family doctor."
