Dottie 654, I have been compiling a lists of Obama’s lies since the primaries. At first I had only a few. Then I was up to 20. Then 30. Then 50. I am now up to 85 and still have more to add as soon as I’ve finished verifying the information. The problem is that Obama tells so many lies it’s hard to keep up with him. The other day he made a statement on off shore oil drilling where he stated he was for it and against it in the same sentence. Egads!, my head was spinning with that one. Anyway, you asked for it so here it is:
OBAMA’S LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES. (85 & Counting)

1.) Selma Got Me Born – LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 – Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder – LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter – LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

6.) My Name is African Swahili – LIAR, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

7.) I Never Practiced Islam – LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so you could run for office. Besides, you have to be baptized in order to be a Christian.

11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs – LIAR, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies. (Update – You’ve now made an ass of yourself in Europe. After spending a few days there you’re now suddenly an expert on foreign affairs.)

12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion – LIAR, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify – your classmates said you were just fine.

45.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq – LIAR, you weren’t in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich, who seems to be out gutting you Obama. You also seem to be stepping back from your departure date – AGAIN.

48.) I Am As Patriotic As Anyone – LIAR, you won’t wear a flag pin and you don’t put your hand over your heart during the Anthem. And you had the American Flag removed from your plane to appease the rabid anti-American Europeans and Middle Easterners.

51.) Treehouse Is A Small Company – LIAR, the CEO of Treehouse last year, made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.

52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair – LIAR, your wife’s pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 (that’s 100 million) in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!

53.)I Barely Know Rezko – Only 5 Billed Hours – LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko’s wife buys the lot beside it that you can’t afford, saving you $625,000. This is the same form of “honest graft” and preferential treatment that sent former Illinois Governor Otto Kerner to jail over 30 years ago, see United States v. Isaacs, 493 F.2d 1124 (7th Cir. 1974).

54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly – LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko ($150K) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.

55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church – LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.

56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time – LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message – hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK – that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.

57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko – LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.

58.) I Never Heard Sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube – LIAR, 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”

60) I went to Chicago after Harvard to work as an activist to help the poor – LIAR, you went to Chicago because you knew the majority of the residents were ignorant welfare poor you could easily exploit in your climb to power and fortune.

61.) I never filled out that survey, an Aide did – LIAR, the survey that had your handwriting all over it showed you taking very extreme liberal positions on everything from gun control to abortion.

62.) I never helped campaign donors receive grants or state and federal funding – LIAR, you helped a donor receive state and federal grants for his Ping Pong company.

63.) I think FISA is Necessary – LIAR, You Were Against FISA and even Threatened to filibuster against it.

65.) NAFTA should be eliminated or renegotiated – LIAR, after the primaries you now don’t think it such a bad thing, and during the primaries you sent a member of your staff to meet with Canadian authorities to tell them not to worry, you didn’t mean what you said.

66.) The Supreme Courts decision on the Second Amendment protects law abiding citizens – LIAR, you previously said you agreed with the D.C Gun Ban, which was in violation of the Second Ammendment

67.) In February You said “I’m in Favor of D.C School Vouchers” – LIAR, By June, after the teacher’s lobby convinced you to oppose it you told ABC News: “We don’t have enough slots for every child to go into a parochial school or a private school. And what you would see is a huge drain of resources out of the public schools.” Funny, you don’t see the hypocrisy of sending your own daughters to private schools or see it as a drain of resources for public schools.

68.) I Am For Decriminalizing Marijuana – LIAR, during the debates you raised your hand to agree with your fellow running mates that you opposed decriminalizing Marijuana.

69.) I Think That When Meeting with Our Enemies, such as Iran and North Korea, there should be conditions placed upon that meeting – LIAR, during the primaries you said you would unconditionally meet with all enemies of the US.

70.) In Your Book, ‘Audacity of Hype’, You Said, “One of my favorite tasks of being a senator is hosting town hall meetings. I held thirty-nine of them my first year in the Senate, all across Illinois, in tiny rural towns like Anna and prosperous suburbs like Naperville, in back churches in the South Side and a college in Rock Island… For the next hour or so, I answer to the people who sent me to Washington… My time with them is like a dip in a cool stream. I feel cleansed afterward, glad for the work I have chosen.” LIAR, guess you now like to feel dirty since you turned down John McCain’s invitation to travel across the country doing town hall meetings.

71.) I Agree with Welfare Reform – LIAR, When President Clinton was preparing to sign welfare reform into law you said it was ‘disturbing’

72.) Obama flip-flops on same sex marriage. Was for it before he was against it.

73.) Public Financing – You Reneged on Your Agreement with John McCain over Public Financing Saying “The System of Public Finance is Broken.” LIAR, In 2007 you challenged the Republican Presidential Candidates to accept public financing for the general election to end what you said were unfair campaign practices. But since you’re now outraising McCain 3-1 you no longer care if it’s unfair, as long as it’s unfair for your opponent and not yourself.

74.) Special Interest – Referring to John Edwards during the primaries You said: “John said yesterday he didn’t believe in these 527s.” Then you added, “You can’t say yesterday you don’t believe in it, and today three quarters of a million dollars is being spent for you.” – LIAR, Apparently You believe in what you chastised John Edwards for using otherwise you wouldn’t be doing business with numerous 527s, including Vote Hope, Powerpac.org., and Moveon.org.

75.) Cuba Embargo – “I Will Maintain the embargo,” You said to cheers from CANF members. – LIAR, During Your 2004 Senate campaign You declared that it was “time for us to end the embargo with Cuba…. It’s time for us to acknowledge that that particular policy has failed.”

79.) “I Support Israeli Control of Jerusalem.” – LIAR, A day after saying that you told an Arab audience that negotiations should work out the Jerusalem issue.
80.) It Was Wrong for Hilary Clinton to Vote to List Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a Terrorist Organization. – LIAR, You now support the definition.
81.) I’m Against Nuclear Power. – LIAR, you told Democratic governors You are open to expanding it.
82.) “My Grandfather Signed Up for the War the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s Army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka…” – LIAR, Your grandfather couldn’t have liberated Auschwitz since it was the Soviets who liberated that camp, unless of course, he was a member of the Soviet army; and no allied troops ever liberated Treblinka since it was closed and destroyed by the Germans in 1943.

83.) I’m Against the Big Oil Monopoly. –LIAR, You accepted four hundred thousand in campaign contributions from big oil and sign a bill for tax breaks for big oil even though McCain wouldn’t.

84.) The Strategic Oil Reserve Should Only Be Used for a Genuine Emergency. –LIAR, You now think we should use the strategic oil reserve even as oil prices decline.

85.) John McCain is using the Race Card in this Election. –LIAR, You’ve been using the race card since the primaries to deflect from having to answer real questions about real issues. Your first victims were the Clintons.
