Obama says politicians lying is something 'we have not seen before.' Here are three of his biggest whoppers

Former President Barack Obama lamented the state of political rhetoric in the U.S. at a rally in Wisconsin on Friday, saying politicians are “just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying.”

Obama traveled to Wisconsin to campaign for Democratic candidates including Sen. Tammy Baldwin, gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers and others. Obama accused Republicans of lying about healthcare, namely that GOP politicians would protect coverage of pre-existing conditions.

“Listen throughout human history, certainly throughout American history, politicians have exaggerated. They make promises that they may try to fulfill, but then it turns out to be harder than they expected,” Obama told the crowd assembled in Milwaukee. “They pump up the things that they did that are good.”

“They downplay the things that they did that aren’t so good. They try to put a positive spin on things,” Obama continued. “But what we have not seen before, in our recent public life, at least, is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying.”

Obama spun news, evaded questions, contradicted himself and made false statements a number of times while he was in office.

In 2011, Obama claimed he “signed into law the biggest middle-class tax cut in history,” referring to the Making Work Pay provision in his stimulus package.

Obama’s calculation for his claim was based on “dubious math,” according to The Washington Post. Former-presidents John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush signed larger tax cuts into law.

When campaigning for the Affordable Care Act, Obama claimed, “If you like your health-care plan, you can keep it.”

After his bill passed, cancellation notices hit at least two million Americans’ mailboxes because of a short cutoff to bring existing plans in compliance with the new law, The Washington Post reported.

Terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, killing four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Obama and his administration downplayed the terrorist aspect of the attack in the immediate aftermath of the event, but the then-president later tried to spin his comments, saying, “the day after Benghazi happened, I acknowledged this was an act of terrorism.”

Obama referred vaguely to an “act of terror” immediately after the attack, but “over a period of two weeks, given three opportunities in interviews to affirmatively agree that the Benghazi attack was a terrorist attack, the president obfuscated or ducked the question,” The Washington Post reports.

President Trump needs to send the US Marshalls to Hawaii. Just do it on the down low and don't tell anyone. But show up at the records office with warrant in hand, to bust down doors if need be like they did to Manafort, and locate this FABLED, hard copy Hawaiian birth certificate for Barry that no human alive has ever seen. I think anybody that doesn't like to LIE to themselves knows there ISN'T ONE. But if President Trump ever wanted to shut that filthy little kenyan, muslim, America hating dog turd up, that's all he'd have to do.

There's a reason he doesn't. I'm sure it has something to do with the HANDS OFF policy Washington has ALWAYS had for obama. Apparently it's in effect permanently.

Stunning! Obama Claims the Trump Administration is Not Honest – Disgraceful Coming From Most Dishonest President in History …With List of Barack’s Major Lies!

The biggest liar to hold the office of US President, Barack Obama, had the audacity to claim that the current administration is dishonest. Add that to his many lies.

In front of a small crowd in Wisconsin, former President Barack Obama stated the following:


Listen throughout human history, certainly throughout American history, politicians have exaggerated. They make promises that they may try to fulfill, but then it turns out to be harder than they expected,” Obama told the crowd assembled in Milwaukee. “They pump up the things that they did that are good.”

“They downplay the things that they did that aren’t so good. They try to put a positive spin on things,” Obama continued. “But what we have not seen before, in our recent public life, at least, is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying.”

These words are absolutely shocking coming from Barack Obama who many agree may be the most dishonest politician to ever serve as US president.

During his presidency Obama routinely lied to the American public without any accountability from the liberal mainstream media.

******

Here are a few of Barack Obama’s more disturbing and consequential lies.


1.) If you like your insurance plan, you can keep your insurance plan
Number of mentions: 37 times

As Obama was pushing the tremendously unpopular legislation now known as ‘Obamacare’, at least 37 different times he promised that – If you like your insurance plan you can keep your insurance plan. Even the liberal media could not ignore it. This was lie of the year in 2013. After cancellation letters were sent to 4 million Americans, the public finally realized his breezy assurances were wrong.

2.) With Obamacare we will reduce your insurance premiums by $2,500, per family per year
Number of mentions: At least 22 times

Obamacare increased 2014 individual market premiums by an average of 49% .

Barack Obama promised repeatedly that Obamacare would reduce your premiums by $2,500 per year. It was a lie. The exact opposite happened. Average premiums have skyrocketed, for some groups as much as 78 percent.

Obamacare premiums will rise by double digits in 2017 when Obama leaves office.

3.) I cannot pass amnesty through executive action… I am not a dictator
Number of mentions: At least 22 times

At least 22 times Obama said he couldn’t do executive amnesty himself. Then he implemented an immunity scheme via executive fiat. “In bypassing Congress, Obama blatantly ignored the rule of law that is the foundation of our democracy and violated his presidential oath to uphold the laws of this land.”

4.) Not one dime of Obamacare will go for abortions
Number of mentions: At least 12 times

1,036 Obamacare plans covered abortions.

In spite of repeated promises that Obamacare would not pay for abortions, it is now clear that Obama lied. The GAO confirmed that Obama lied about this and if fact 1,036 Obamacare plans pay for abortions. In fact, the Little Sisters of the Poor, a group of Catholic nuns who provide care for the poor, were forced to file a class action mandate to obtain a judgment so they could refrain from providing access to abortion-inducing drugs.

5.) It was not my decision to pull all the troops from Iraq
Number of mentions: 2 times, maybe more

When Obama was running for reelection in 2012, he repeatedly took credit for “ending the war in Iraq.” Then in August 2014, when he sent troops back to Iraq to fight ISIS, Obama said removing U.S. troops from Iraq was not “my decision.” As a result of this reckless move, thousands of innocents have been murdered (including many beheadings), enslaved, relocated forcefully, terrorized and tortured. The horror of Obama’s Iraq blunder will be felt for generations.

6.) Barack Obama accused the Pentagon of not providing him with a strategy to defeat ISIS. Another lie.

Obama also claimed in the same press conference that he brought the deficit down by two-thirds since he came into office. Another lie.

7.) Barack Obama denied knowing of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

President Barack Obama held an interview with Steve Kroft from “60 Minutes” in October 2015. Kroft asked President Obama if he knew about Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Steve Kroft: Did you know about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server?

Barack Obama: No… No.

We know this was another Obama lie. Barack Obama had direct contact with Clinton on her private email server.

FOX News reported:


President Obama was one of a select handful of individuals who had “direct contact” with Hillary Clinton on her private email account, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz indicated in his bombshell report Thursday on the Clinton email probe.

In a footnote, the DOJ watchdog notes that “FBI analysts and Prosecutor 2 told us that former President Barack Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom Clinton had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account.“

Never have we seen a President lie as much about consequential matters like Obama.

He literally couldn’t and still can’t give a speech without including a major lie in the middle of it.

Thank God dishonest Barack Obama is no longer President! He really just needs to go away. Nobody wants to see him or hear any more of his lies.
