Obama promised the most transparent administration is history, and now ever liberal journalists are call BS. If Obama lied about that, what else has he lied about?,.....oh, thats right, he has lied about everything. It would be easier to count what he has not lied about.

I can agree his administration isn't transparent, but saying he has lied about everything is a lie in itself.

If we look at all the major issues since his Presidency began, where has he told the truth? Anything come immediately to mind?
 
It seems that Obama is tired of hearing/reading about things in the news. The best way to prevent "scandals" is to keep everything that may be considered "bone headed" out of the news. ;)
 
Like most, you had to go to the Internet looking for something where he may have been honest and the majority of people would have to do the same. Most would also be able to define 'major issues' (the economy, foreign policy) and none appeared in your link

Politifact is an independent group that checks the claims made by the media/politicians.
Really? None appeared? He may have been honest? Oh come on. Everything on that site is checked as true, look into them yourself, those are promises he made and kept.
Wait, "economy." Elaborate on what you are specifically looking for.

This topic has to do with the integrity, or total lack there of in the case, of the man negotiate the very existence of the ME. He is appeasing the regions enemy at the same time showing such contempt for US allies. How can anyone of sound mind trust a psychotic pathological liar Obama with something as important as a nuke treaty with Iran?

Not everything, but enough to question his credibility.

It was one of his first lies - along with how each and every bill will go up on the web so people have 5 days to view it before it's voted on. That's was a good lie as well. Funny thing is, he still lies about transparency.... last week the man was interviewed and was asked if he thought his administration was the most transparent and he said "Absolutely, it is." :shrug:

"absolutely it is" is a lie

He's lied so many times its easy for someone to assume that when he opens his mouth and moves his lips, he's lying.

His " bait and switch " scam on ObamaCare was especially disgusting.

The Government mandated that we purchase a product that they designed that wasn't vetted through the Free market principles that efficiently allocate goods and services based on price.

Obama tells everyone that the average American family will save 2500 dollars a year in premiums and that they can " keep their insurance and Dr ".

Obama and the Democrats vilified Insurance companies for their supposed ethical lapses to sell the law and then pulls a " bait and switch " scam on the American people.

If a private insurance insurance had pulled that scam on me I could appeal to the Federal Trade Commission for " deceptive advertising ".

But the FTC is part of the same Government entity that ran the bait and switch scam.

There's ZERO recourse for the consumer and the Democrats know it.
 
He's about caught up with George Bush.

If you give any credence to the Democrats manufactured narratives about " lying us into War " then I guees you could say that.

The problem is those narratives have been thoroughly debunked which leaves Obama in a class by himself when it comes to deceit and obstruction.

A one trick pony.

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Pt #2.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
