Presidential Lies

Silverfiddle Rant!

A great question arose out of last Friday's blog Post:

Which presidential lies have been the worst?

Starting with Day One of George Washington up to this Monday, 24 Jan of Joe Biden's presidency.

Joe's had some funny ones, like how he grew up in the black church, used to drive a semi, or got arrested multiple times fighting for civil rights in the US, and battling the South African Apartheid regime. 

El Donaldo's lies are epic, legion and even multi-dimensional.  Democrats are still in an indignant rage of his sharpie edit of a weather map...

Anyway, lay it on us.  In the history of the US presidency, what are the most egregious lies?  Tell us who, what, and why the lie you provide was so horrible.

"People in glass houses..."

This — from the woman who insisted that a YouTube video was the horrific cause of the September 11, 2012 attack on Benghazi:

Hillary Clinton warns of 'fake news epidemic'.

Video proof of HRC's assertion is HERE.

See THIS LINK for the timeline of blaming the Benghazi attack on a YouTube video. Notice the names of those who participated in the fake news story propagated as the cause of Benghazi.

As long as this post relates to "fake news," exactly what does the term mean? Does "fake news" actually mean anything that doesn't support the narrative of the moment?

Blatant Inconsistency

Or, if you prefer, outright lies (with a hat tip to Old NFO):

From Refugee Resettlement Watch (dated April 8, 2016):

The Obama Administration is looking to resettle 85,000 or more refugees this year from around the world and for Obama’s last opportunity to submit a proposal, he is aiming for 100,000 in FY2017.

Top Hospitals Opt Out

Obama stated:

“If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.”

From U.S. News and World Report:

Americans who sign up for Obamacare will be getting a big surprise if they expect to access premium health care that may have been previously covered under their personal policies. Most of the top hospitals will accept insurance from just one or two companies operating under Obamacare.

[...]

Chances are the individual plan you purchased outside Obamacare would allow you to go to these facilities....

Much more information at the link.

The loss of policies goes well beyond non-participating hospitals and the dumping of private health-insurance policies. Please see Mid-range estimate: 51% of employer-sponsored plans will get canceled.

WE THE PEOPLE have yet to plumb the full depths of the ObamaCare nightmare  Meanwhile, most mainstream media network anchors continue to intone Obama's very name in dulcet tones.

Bob Beckel: Obama Approaching Fascism

Liberal Democrat Bob Beckel commenting on the National Security Agency's phone-records surveillance (fast forward to time marker 2:49 after the commercials stop):


Here is the money quote (around time marker 3:55):

“I think it is one of the most outrageous examples of the stepping on the Constitution I’ve heard. They have no right to the phone records… It is illegal, it is unconstitutional, and it is deplorable. I didn’t like it when they did it during the Bush administration and I don’t like when they’re doing it now.”

“They have taken this PATRIOT Act, which I think was the most dangerous act passed, and they have taken it and abused it,” Beck added. “You talk about fascism? You’re getting damn close to it."

Mr. Beckel should expect an IRS audit in the near future.

2008 flashback:

HANOVER, N.H.--Barack Obama may be leading the Democratic presidential pack in every major poll here, but that didn't dissuade the Illinois senator from a final early-morning rally with the Facebook generation.

Clearly not content to leave their votes to the whims of online politicking, the Illinois senator stepped onto a stage fashioned in a Dartmouth College gymnasium, pulled an index card from his inside jacket pocket, and launched into a familiar set of talking points centered on what has become a familiar theme for his campaign: change and hope.

"My job this morning is to be so persuasive...that a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack," he told a crowd of about 300 Ivy Leaguers--and, by the looks of it, a handful of locals who managed to gain access to what was supposed to be a students-only event.

For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and "wiretaps without warrants," he said. (He was referring to the lingering legal fallout over reports that the National Security Agency scooped up Americans' phone and Internet activities without court orders, ostensibly to monitor terrorist plots, in the years after the September 11 attacks.)

It's hardly a new stance for Obama, who has made similar statements in previous campaign speeches...

Flashback to 2007, when Barack Obama was a United States Senator:
