25 Obama Whoppers for the Media to Chew On

From The American Thinker Blog:

Now that the media have shown their eagerness to expose the “lies” of presidential candidate Ben Carson, they might want to review some of the nuggets they overlooked in the rise of Barack Obama. To be sure, there is no going back, but future generations of journalists might benefit from seeing how shamelessly the fourth estate transformed itself into the Democrats’ fifth column.

25. “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.” Obama made this pledge in September 2007. He broke it in June 2008. He told the Washington Post he still supported the idea of public financing, but the current system was “broken” and favored Republicans who had “become masters at gaming” it. The media yawned.

19. “This administration has done more for the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration.” Barbra Streisand may have bought this nonsense, but Benjamin Netanyahu was not even tempted.

11. “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman.” The polls proved a more authoritative source than God on this one.

8. “Not even a smidgen of corruption.” Obama shocked even O’Reilly with the sheer effrontery of this lie about the IRS scandal.

7. “The Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration.” The president told this whopper after spokesman Jay Carney got his knuckles rapped for telling the same lie.

3. “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.” This is the Hydra-headed lie that got Obama re-elected and sent us so far down the road to serfdom we may not be able to turn back.

2. “Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” This double-barreled promise has been violated more wantonly than a goat at a Taliban bachelor party.

1. “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Oh, man, Obama had his hand on the Bible for this one. May God have mercy on his soul.

The man should be known as Pinocchio.
