"unable to produce examples of these mythical lies."
Allow me. These are just the top 5. There are too many to cite them all.
5. My father left my family when I was 2 years old.
Obama made this claim in September 2009, when addressing the nations schoolkids. By then, the blogosphere knew that baby Obama had never spent a night under the same roof as his father, let alone two years.
4. The Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration.Obama spun this fiction at a September 2012 Univision forum knowing it was false. In fact, the bizarre, deadly idea to let American guns walk into Mexico, where they were used by drug cartels to k**l dozens, began in October 2009.
3. Not even a smidgen of corruption.
If there were not even a smidgen of corruption, as Obama insisted, it is hard to understand what outraged him, or at least seemed to, when news of the IRS scandal first broke. Its inexcusable, and Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it, Obama said in May 2013. Obama routinely expressed anger when some new scandal erupted on his watch IRS, the failed ObamaCare website, the VA scandal, Fast and Furious but never before had he shoved a scandal down the memory hole so quickly.
And how could Obama know there wasnt a smidgen of corruption before the investigation was even over? Perhaps because the administration knew that any proof of that was gone with deleted emails and destroyed hard drives?[/color]
2. We revealed to the American people exactly what we understood at the time.He first answered questions about B******i a full week later, and this is what he said to David Letterman:
You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who who made an extremely offensive video directed at at Mohammed and Islam.
We all know now that he knew then that the video story was a politically motivated fabrication. He knew at the time of the attack that it was a terrorist attack. [/color]
And the number one lie:
1. T***sparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.No explanation necessary here.
