For the record, we lost the healthcare plan we liked not because it covered too little but because it was too good (worried of Cadillac tax).
So any other presidential lies throughout history as blatant as the “If you like your plan, you can keep it” one?
“Read my lips: No new taxes” seems more like a broken promise than a lie; Bush possible meant it when he said it.
But I am still pretty young, so my presidential memory doesn’t go back very far.
Wow, how’d I forget Clinton. Of course, his lies did not directly affect me.
“If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period.” Needed the “period” for the extra dishonesty.
Now he’s pretending there were lots of qualifiers to that statement, but he made it clear there were none.
How about any future Republican compromise include that Obama must publicly apologize for the lies he used to sell Obamacare to the public.
Maybe Obama speeches should have that guy at the end of prescription drug ads who quickly explains all the side effects.
The sort of lossal failure Obamacare is is the “co” kind.
“You wouldn’t hit a man with Google Glasses, would you?” doesn’t work.
Obama and the Democrats lied about how Obamacare would force people off their plans, and the only way to deny that is more lies.
They flat out knew it wasn’t true but said it anyway to sell their product. Period.
I’m just waiting for the day Marvel can get all of its properties under one movie studio.
I’ll be proud to tell my grandchildren that I wasn’t a part of wasting “first black president” on an incompetent dummy.
Checked out the new Robin Williams sitcom. They’re letting Robin Williams be Robin Williams. I thought modern society learned not to do that.
If you like your lies, you can repeat them.
Sorry, Buffy. Even you can’t induce me to watch a Robin Williams sit-com.
Let’s set our calendars for next spring, and see if they have the nerve to start fining people who got dropped & then didn’t sign up.
I’m sure the lie Bill told Monica, where he’d certainly not do something if she did something else, was as big a lie as what Obama told the country, but Clinton defiled about 300 Million fewer people when he did it.
Democrat presidents — stretching back to Woodrow Wilson and FDR — have a long history of touting their anti-war credentials and then plunging us into costly wars. Obama continues a proud tradition.
the only casualties of Bill Clinton’s lies were a couple of cigars, some pot smoke and an aspirin factory in Sudan.
Casualties of Hillary’s lies include Vince Foster, Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen A. Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods
Well, see, you’re forgetting – libs can just make up and redefine words whenever they want. It’s like their favorite past time (especially when it comes to words in the Constitution).
I’m just waiting for the presser where Carney or Bobo says, “It depends on what the definition of “keep” is. Because, by “keep” we meant “not keep.” What, you didn’t understand that?”
I’d say it’s between Obama’s lie and Clinton’s “I didn’t inhale”.
That lie accused me of being an idiot.
But Obama’s lie affected everybody in an adverse manner, Clinton’s lie just made the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc. show their true colors for all to see.
As for “No New Taxes”, he obviously meant it.
In his defense, he was such a squishy wimp that he squandered a winning, uber-popular war and allowed the Dems to make him look even more hapless than he was.
So, not a lie, just another establishment GOPer who trusted Dems to keep their word and ended up looking like Charlie Brown after Lucy stabbed him in the back.
Modern Robin Williams: Snorts diet coke.
@ Veeshir
so they managed to make the last 2 Bushes we elected look like a hapless boob…so what does the Republican party think the answer is? Elect ANOTHER Bush!
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
I’ll defend the Bush candidacy, I bet he runs as a Dem.
You know there’s going to be something very stupidly funny in the next election and Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Bush with the last Bush being a Dem would be hilariously idiotic.
Don’t worrry about the “first black president” thing. Bambi is only half-black. Someday we probably will have a black President, and I hope he’s a conservative Republican.
Blatant lie on the same order of magnitude (although the actual effects were more limited):
“I am not a crook.” – Richard Nixon
