@Qingu LOL @ “high and mighty”—that’s the politicians’ perspective of their own relative position. No, I am low and humble, and they all frequently and carefully remind me of that, when I care to listen to them.
So I can’t tell you a comprehensive list of the things Obama has lied about, because I haven’t listened to more than 50 consecutive words that he has said since his Inauguration—and probably not over 500 words in any case.
Out of those few words, let’s start with “Change”. (I’m sure that this is pretty close to the mark, but I don’t think that he had “pocket change” in mind when he made the promise.)
After that, perhaps there are the (gradually increasing) numbers of “jobs saved” and “created” by his bailout and rescue of banks, stock brokerages and other various financial institutions and the complete TARP fiasco. (This sadly reminds me of a column that George Will wrote back in the 70s criticizing then-President Carter’s temporary bailout of Chrysler. He predicted, and obviously right on the money, that “the danger isn’t that the bailout will fail, because given enough time and money it can’t fail with Federal backing; the danger is that it will succeed, and lead to more of the same.” Sometimes I hate it when he is right.)
But he lost me permanently when he criticized the Cambridge, Massachusetts police activities in the case of Professor Gates’ arrest at his home as “stupid”. He was wrong, and I’m sure that he knew beyond doubt that he was wrong and stupid for saying what he did, but he never actually could admit, “Boy, that was a boneheaded thing to say, knowing as little as I did.” Because it clearly was. I don’t think Bush did anything as personally stupid in all his awful eight years. (Iraq was a colossal mistake, no doubt about it—a mistake on top of a lie; but Obama is going to beat him by miles and miles.)
