Obama: Liar In ChiefIt’s not pretty.

  • Logic: An exclusion of fact that clearly changes the meaning or the intent of the original.

153 160 173 Documented Obama Lies

Stay tuned, it’s hard to keep up with them.

Some lies date back to the 2008 Presidential Campaign between Obama and McCain. Lying is nothing new for Barack Obama. We should all celebrate the occasion of our first Black president. Unfortunately, while we had countless well-qualified black men and women from which to choose, we chose the wrong one.

Another update (Added on February 19, 2014).

The truth is (You do remember what truth is?) I am tired of doing this so do not think this is a complete list of our President’s dishonesty. He lies so often that I choose not to spend more time on this topic. Mr. Obama is not only the most dishonest president in U.S. history, he is the most dishonest person I have ever witnessed. I have not an ounce of doubt that if President Barack Obama were white, he would have been impeached a long time ago. We will not be a truly non-racist society until we neither protect nor condemn a person based on the color of their skin.

13 More Obama lies

4 are simply false and 9 are “Pants On Fire” lies. All are from PolitiFact.

(Some are from the 2012 Presidential Campaign that I failed to list back then.)

  1. “What we said was, you can keep (your plan) if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.” – PANTS ON FIRE! (Of all the false statements documented by PolitiFact that were made by anyone in 2013, this one made by President Obama was chosen as the “Lie of The Year.” The Washington Post, a Liberal-leaning newspaper, also chose it as their Lie of The Year.)

    Watch President Obama make this false statement on almost 40 separate occasions.

7 more Obama lies (Add to the original 153 below.)

The Obamas Live Like Royalty

Who, exactly, is out of touch with average Americans?

Obama says rich man, Mitt Romney, is out of touch with average Americans. But wait a minute, the Obamas Live like royalty! So who exactly is out of touch?

Watch this video to learn about the lavish lifestyle of Barack and Michelle Obama.

http://www.youtube.com/v/o6iqDtWK2h4&rel=0

Hypocritical? We need a bigger, louder word!

The Obamas Live Like RoyaltyI think it was just a few weeks ago that I saw the Obama Media shills falling over themselves to characterize Ann Romney as an out of touch rich woman.  They showed a photo of her wearing an expensive designer blouse. Really? Well now, that does indeed tell us all we need to know about the Romneys. Are you with me on this? Ann Romney buys expensive clothes! It’s disgusting. Outrageous. Hasn’t anyone told her that she is required to buy her clothes at Walmart or Goodwill or, you know, where we the people buy ours.

But I have a few bothersome little questions for the Obama Media shills. Wasn’t FDR a rich man? Yeah, I know he was because I’m up on this stuff and I even visited his estate in Hyde Park, NY years ago. Yes, he was a very rich man. So why didn’t that bother the media? Oh yes, then there is John F. Kennedy. The Democrats and their media refer to him as JFK. (Ever notice how they like to use initials for their big stars?) Anyway, why didn’t JFK’s millions bother the media? Then of course there is John Kerry. He’s another super rich guy. (They couldn’t use “JFK” for Kerry. It was already taken.) So why didn’t that bother the media? Come to think about it, our richest presidents were all Democrats! Oh, I get it, it doesn’t count if you are a Democrat. Stupid me.

Listen, this is about as pure as hypocrisy can get. Our very first president, George Washington, was one of the richest men in the country. Hmm, wonder where he bought his clothes? Does anyone really think that Franklin Roosevelt or John Kennedy shopped for clothes in bargain basements? Do you think that John Kerry or any other rich people do?  The Obamas certainly don’t and the Romneys should not be expected to either. Would you if you were rich? It’s ridiculous.

This is just one more bogus political trick from Barack Obama. These “rich man” charges that Obama and his henchmen keep throwing at Romney are part of a Marxist style class warfare strategy designed to divide our nation and pit Americans against Americans. It is right out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals, which, by the way, Barack Obama used to teach. It is sad but true: Our president will say and do virtually anything to stay in power. It is not about what is best for our country, it is about Barack Obama and his plan to “transform” America into something entirely different than what has served us so well for 236 years—what has made us the greatest nation in world history.

So every time you hear him or his henchmen attack Mitt Romney for being rich, think of the video you saw here and what you read here. Remember all the rich Democrat presidents and presidential candidates. Remember how Barack and Michelle Obama live. Oh and while I’m at it, did you know that Mitt Romney gave far more to charity than Barack Obama and Joe Biden, combined? Just saying. No, I didn’t get that information from the Obama Media.



The Media Hide Obama Associations

The Media Hide The Truth From The Public

Media BiasOne of the most remarkable things that distinguished Election 2008 from all other presidential elections was the media’s blatant policy of hiding the real history and past associations of a presidential candidate.

It is undeniable that if a Republican presidential candidate had even one association with a radical right-wing activist, he or she would not have become the Republican nominee. First, the Republican Party would not have allowed it and, second, the media would have launched a relentless campaign to destroy him or her, politically.

Yet, not only did the Democratic Party nominate a man who for over twenty years almost exclusively surrounded himself with extreme anti-American, radical activists, the American media were as determined to hide this truth from us as they would have been determined to reveal such associations if the candidate were a Republican. We may as well be living in a fascist country in which the media is strictly controlled by the political party in power. The result is the same.

For all who may object to this line of criticism, I can only wonder why. It is fact, not speculation that the media hide Obama associations along with virtually anything negative that could harm his presidency or his bid for reelection. If you think it is unfair or harmful in some way to report all the facts, then I suggest that you do not understand how our political system works. The health of our nation depends on an informed citizenry. Beginning with George Washington, our founders as well many leaders since then have warned of the consequences of an uninformed public. Politicians can manipulate ignorant people but not well informed people.

So the critical importance of an honest, professional media cannot be overstated. We depend on them to honestly and objectively inform us, yet to our detriment, far too many of them are nothing more than agenda-driven propagandists. All Americans should be outraged by this because their dishonesty endangers us all. It cuts into the very fabric of our constitutional republic and weakens the foundational principles upon which the survival of our nation depends. Today, they may favor the Left, yet tomorrow they may lean Right, so do you see the problem?

Obama School Records

Why Does Obama Hide His Records?Who is this man?

It is unprecedented

The Obama school records are still sealed! So are his health records. Most if not all presidential candidates and presidents—directly or indirectly—make their school and health records available to the American people. Bush did, Kerry did, Gore did, and so on. Yet Barack Obama—a candidate and a president who has repeatedly told us how transparent he is—absolutely refuses to release his records. So the obvious question is: What Is President Obama Hiding?

Many have tried and all have failed.

Media reporters, journalists, political organizations, and more, have followed every lead and procedure in pursuit of Mr. Obama’s school and health records without success. His records are either missing entirely or they have been sealed by Obama’s lawyers. In either case, the result is the same: Our president does not want you to see them.

Let’s take a look …

Obama’s High School Records and SAT Scores

Barack Obama attended one of the best private high schools in Honolulu, Punahou School. He has refused to release a single transcript or his SAT scores to the public. Many citizens and media people have tried to get them and all have failed.

Financial aid and scholarship money

Candidate and President Obama has refused to release his financial aid and scholarship records for both Punahou School and Occidental College. His refusal has created an ongoing controversy, which suggests that Obama may have enrolled at Occidental College as a foreigner as opposed to a U.S. citizen in order to receive foreign student aid.

World Net Daily reports:

“In a legal action, handled largely by Gary Kreep of the U.S. Justice Foundation, officials at Occidental College were served with a demand to produce records concerning Barack Obama’s attendance there during the 1980s because they could document whether he was attending as a foreign national.”

When Mr. Kreep petitioned Occidental demanding the Obama records, Obama’s lawyers managed to have the petition thrown out. Hence, Obama’s Occidental College transcripts and financial records remain sealed. Then in 1991 when Obama’s literary agent published a booklet that listed Obama as having been “… born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii” the “foreign national” controversy was reignited. No wonder!

Obama’s Columbia University records plus thesis

Twenty year old Barack Obama transferred to Columbia University from Occidental College in 1981. Once again, many tried and all failed to obtain Obama’s records. As always, they were (and are) sealed. Here’s what the New York Sun had to say in September of 2008:

“The Obama campaign has refused to release his college transcript, despite an academic career that led him to Harvard Law School and, later, to a lecturing position at the University of Chicago. The shroud surrounding his experience at Columbia contrasts with that of other major party nominees since 2000, all whom have eventually released information about their college performance or seen it leaked to the public.”

  • Obama’s thesis on “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament” was and remains sealed.
  • Obama’s Harvard Law School Records were and remain sealed.
  • Obama’s LSAT scores were and remain sealed.

Obama’s Scholarly Articles at the University of Chicago

No scholarly articles by Barack Obama have been found even though he lectured at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.

Obama’s Medical Records

Candidate Obama—now President Obama—has refused to release his medical records. In doing so he has broken a very long standing practice of presidential candidates and presidents. It’s simple: They release their medical records—that is, until now.

Obama’s Passport

A clear, fully visible passport of Barack Obama is yet to be released. An unclear, blurry version of it was released on the White House website in 2010.

President Obama's Passport Photo

The most amazing thing of all

Of course it is remarkable on its face that our president blatantly hides these very common documents from us. But the most amazing thing of all is that he gets away with it! Millions of American citizens are so taken in by this man that they are in complete denial of the import and magnitude of his arrogance and his complete disregard for we the people. While he, essentially, says “Screw you.” – his followers say, “Oh what’s the big deal?” It is not only unprecedented, it is a sad commentary on our culture. Where are the grownups? Where is the Great Generation? We are in dangerous waters.

This story also points up the unusually high levels of political ignorance in America today. Many reliable post Election 2008 polls found that millions of Obama voters knew virtually nothing about our history, our system of government, our leaders, or current affairs in general. Of course that explains a lot. It was our first “American Idol Presidential Contest.” Now, three years and seven months later we are on the verge of economic collapse. Yet, ignorance is still alive and well. Far too many among us still don’t realize how alarming our situation is. For them, I will say this only once: Another four years of Barack Obama will most likely destroy the United States of America as we have known it for 236 years. Do you think that is hyperbole? Crazy? I wish it was but the state of our economy, debt, culture, political corruption, and lack of real leadership tells a different story. Barack Obama should never have been elected and the last four years of his presidency should convince all non-radical, informed voters that he must not be elected again.

Do not listen to the far left propaganda when they tell you that anyone who opposes Obama is a racist. This is not a racial issue. I have fought against bigotry in all forms my entire life! This is an ideological issue. It is between what our founders designed—what has made us the most fair and the most successful nation in world history—a constitutional, small federal government republic, versus a big central government made up of powerful politicians who think they know more than we the people. It is an old story. It is exactly what our founders fought against. It is simple: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The more power we give our politicians, the more corrupt they will become. Believe it because history has proven it over and over again and Barack Obama is at the very least a big government politician. To think otherwise is naïve.

Final thoughts …

All Americans should demand the release of Barack Obama’s records. Whether some of you like to hear it or not, Barack Obama has a long history of deception—including his refusal to release his school and health records. You can find countless examples of it here on this website and we have not even scratched the surface. It is not hype. It is all well documented. Make no mistake, ignorance is our most dangerous enemy. I fully understand how hard it can be to accept the truth, but if we really care about our great country, we must face up to every truth about every one of our leaders and there is no better place to start than with our president.

Here is what the Washington Times had to say.

Final final thoughts …

People hide information about themselves because they don’t want others to know it. The reasons for their secrecy cannot be known for certain without having access to the information. If the reputation and character of the secretive person is important to other people, the mere fact of the secrecy becomes important. Moreover, the perceived significance of the hidden information grows the longer the information remains hidden. People then assume that the hidden information must be damaging or else it would be released.

During the 2004 presidential campaign, Senator John Kerry, the Democrat nominee, refused to release his college transcripts. His reasons for the secrecy became clear six months after he lost the election when, under continuing pressure, he finally released them.

Here’s the story:

The media and the Kerry campaign created a narrative that portrayed Kerry as a smart intellectual and his opponent, George W. Bush, as someone less than that—even dumb. It was an old Liberal, Saul Alinsky strategy: Attack the competency or character of your opponent instead of debating the issues. They had, unsuccessfully, used the same strategy against Ronald Reagan. It would fail against Bush as well. Even worse for Kerry, when his transcripts were made public six months after the election, they revealed that the “brilliant” John Kerry received four D’s in his freshman year alone, including (of all things) in his political science course! Yet Bush had received just one D during his four years at Yale and it was in Astronomy. Kerry’s response to inquiring reporters was, “I always told my Dad that D stood for distinction.” Right.

Yet, amazingly, Al Gore used the same strategy when he ran against Bush and, once again, it backfired. When Gore’s transcripts were released, it became painfully apparent to the Liberal intelligentsia that Bush had also outscored Gore! What did my mother used to say? Oh, yeah, “Some people never learn.”

NOTE: Obama supporters like to point out that, technically, the school records are not “sealed.” Apparently no court of law has officially sealed them. Of course this does not change the fact that the records are still confidential and unavailable to the public. Also, according to one source Mr. Obama did release a summary of his medical records in which his personal physician “… pronounced him to be in “excellent health …”

ANOTHER NOTE: I said earlier that George W. Bush had released his college records but according to reliable sources Mr. Bush did not release them; instead someone from within Yale University leaked them.
