Famous Presidential Lies

LBJ:

We were attacked (in the Gulf of Tonkin)

Nixon:

I am not a crook

GHW Bush:

Read my lips - No new taxes

Clinton:

I did not have sex with that woman... Miss Lewinski

GW Bush:

Iraq has weapons of mass destruction

Obama:
I will have the most transparent administration in history.
The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs.
I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.
The IRS is not targeting anyone.
It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
If I had a son.
I will put an end to the type of politics that "breeds division, conflict and cynicism".
You didn't build that!
I will restore trust in Government.
The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
It's not my red line - it is the world's red line.
Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
I am not spying on American citizens.
ObamaCare will be good for America
You can keep your family doctor.
Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan
It's just like shopping at Amazon
I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious" gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels
I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups
I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi
I have never seen my Uncle from Kenya who is in the country illegally and that was arrested and told to leave the country over 20 years ago
And, I have never lived with that uncle. (He finally admitted today, (12-05-2013) that he DID know his uncle and that he DID live with him.

And the biggest one of all:
"I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America."

But.....Have a PROBLEM with the GW Bush so-called "Lie".......

Iraq DID HAVE Weapons of Mass Destruction..........Saddam Hussein Gassed Several Hundred / Thousand of his own People......Iraqi Citizens.......with Weapons of Mass Destruction........and here recently Syria is killing their own people with Weapons of Mass Destruction.

2 + 2 DOES = 4 in my book................MOST of the Time that is.........

I have a request. Would people please quote their sources? Louixo - I'm guessing that's a c&p from some web site. I think when people do that they should give credit/blame to the folks they do the c&p from. It provides context, if nothing else.

It's humor. That's the context. How would knowing the source change that context? Would knowing the source somehow make the humor more, or less funny? The humor isn't about the source, it's about the humor.

Not only Humor...........But Sarcasm as Well............

Seems like someone is a little offended over picking on our POTUS.

Some people just LOOK for things to get offended over..............

But............

Getting Offended over this JackWeed in Office we have aint really worth it..............Know what I mean.

There's not enough storage capacity to cover all the presidential lies for Slick Willie - to say nothing of the rest of them. Still interesting to see how the MSM covers them from one POTUS to the next.

Turtle · Jan 14, 2014

In this case, the humor is clearly from a conservative source. But so what? It's funny.

And why is it funny?

It's funny because it's truuuuuu.

Especially coming from the POTUS who promised the most open and ethical administration in US history:

Obama-We're the Most Transparent and Ethical Administration in U.S. History! - YouTube

Followed up by:

My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government....
