We already knew he was the biggest loser … now he’s the biggest liar as well.

U.S. President Barack Obama has won Politifact‘s “Lie of the Year” for the whopper he told about individual Americans’ health care plans.

Missed that one? Here you go …

“It was a catchy political pitch and a chance to calm nerves about his dramatic and complicated plan to bring historic change to America’s health insurance system,” writes Angie Drobnic Holan for Politifact. “But the promise was impossible to keep. So this fall, as cancellation letters were going out to approximately 4 million Americans, the public realized Obama’s breezy assurances were wrong.”

Of course Obama knew his “if you like your health care plan, you can keep it” promise was bunk years ago.

According to NBC News, as far back as July 2010 “the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.”

Yet Obama continued to parrot his promise through 2012. And the mainstream media refused to call him out on it …

Obviously Obama is primarily to blame for this debacle – but some of the onus has to fall on a supplicant national press corps, doesn’t it?

We think so …

Politicians will lie, cheat and steal at every opportunity unless they are exposed and held accountable by the media for their actions.

The Community organizing, Peace prize winning drone strike king gets another notch in his failure belt.

I suppose he could always take it off and hang himself with it, but that would require honor.

What do you expect? He’s black. It’s a big black lie.

Bush told a whopper in his State of the Union Address… but we called that a little white lie.

“What do you expect? He’s black. It’s a big black lie.”

Technically, he’s half black. So it’s a half white lie.

half black
——–
you know, I’ve always wondered. Would that mean he sits in the middle of the bus? Could he drink from either fountain?

That makes it worse, not better, it seems to me.

He can’t marry a white woman or a black woman without a mixed marriage. He can’t whistle at *any* women, and he’d better stay out of Walgreen’s.

He’s got more trouble in the south than a gay Jewish Catholic with an American flag patch on his ass and a black power fist t-shirt.

Wouldn’t being a half black and a half whit(e) make him a “grey”? And we all know that another name for “greys” is aliens. If he’s an alien, can he serve as president?

And the one truth in all of the Obamacare ACA health insurance mess is that Addison Graves “Joe” Wilson was right…

I’m trying to decide which liberal has the biggest non sequitur in this thread. You are cheating a bit with the volume.

Never mind that a number of these are not even lies, it is hardly earth shattering that people lie. The point of the post is that Obama has finally accomplished something – he told the biggest lie of them all. I hope they send him a trophy and he displays it prominently over the Nobel. At least he earned this one.

And now we hear that the administration is asking insurers to cover services for their formerly insured customers even if the doctor doesn’t accept Obamacare patients and even though they may never get reimbursed while also asking the new insurer to cover the service while also giving the new Obamacare covered client hasn’t paid yet – what a bunch of amateurs – or are they bwhahahahaha….

Some of the above, other than Congressional exemption, still have at least a grain of truth in them, although the semantics might be off. Like “Death Panels” versus IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board) aka the cost-cutting/rationing board which is also opposed by some democrats.

Conservative and Progressives run neck and neck in the lying department. They are after all, politicians.

I always favored, “Well, the main thing is I just wanted to have a chance to publicly say thank you, because I think Hillary will go down as one of the finest secretaries of state we’ve had. It has been a great collaboration over the last four years.”-Obama 1-26-2013 as THE biggest lie of the year.

Obama apologist excuse flow chart:
1. He didn’t really say that.
2. OK, maybe he said that but that’s not what he meant
3. Maybe that’s what he meant but he really thought it was true at the time
4. OK maybe knew it wasn’t true but it’s for the greater good
5. Republicans lie too!
