Just mentioned it on the Five, so funny.
“But the promise was impossible to keep.”
Impossible, politifact? Impossible? Can you stop your biased sugar coating for 5 seconds?
Right up there with:
The check is in the mail and I promise to pull out.
The rank and file liberals are prefectly willing to be lied to by other liberals, however. Lying is just standard behavior to them. I’ve heard them say “All politicians lie, what’s the big deal?”. The only thing they really care about is putting socialists in power.
On the last episode of the TV show “The Walking Dead” the bad guys with a tank and lots of firepower are across from the men, women and children. One of the bad guys shuts down the “negotiations” by saying:
“What you have, is what we want. Period.”
I wonder if a closet conservative writer got that sentence in there. It was like putting Obama’s words through a truth machine.
Didn’t you all get the memo? One of the plan’s architects said that you can absolutely keep your doctor and your insurance, but you’ll have to pay a lot more for the privilege. That’s what Mr. Obama MEANT. You can’t take him at his word, you gotta get the REAL meaning from his minions.
well, that would make obama LIAR OF THE YEAR
The other 9 top lies rounding out the top 10 are also Obama’s and they all begin with “I was unaware of.....” fill in the blank.
Nice!
Time magazine take notice.

From an email I got. Pass it on!
Obama Flowers - Have you ordered yours yet?
(Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?
(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you.
(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife.
(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer) But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer) Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer) What’s the difference?
(Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income?
(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department.
(Customer) FlowerAid?
(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can’t afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.
(Customer) Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.
(Customer) Whoa.....I don’t remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a “Tax”. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer) I don’t believe this...
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir?
(Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year.
(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer) Why?
(Receptionist) To determine what your ‘non-participation’ cost would be.
(Customer) WHAT? Your can’t charge me for NOT buying flowers!
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It’s $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income.....
(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I’ll pay the $9.50..
(Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!!
(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer) Look, I’m going to call my Congressman to find out what’s going on here. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay it.
(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that’s why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.
(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING?
(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir
(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.
I believe that Politifact had a poll asking readers what they thought should be the Lie of the Year. I think I cast my vote there last week.
That would explain why they were pretty much forced to name this the Lie of the Year. But in doing so, they try desperately to argue that it wasn’t really a lie. Just kind of, well, I dunno, maybe a mistake of some sort.
Lie of the year, 2009 maybe.
The same lie will be in play next year when the business mandate kicks in and up to 100 million people lose their insurance plan. Then in 2015 the large employer mandate kicks in and Obama’s lie wins the award again.
Obamacare is a Marxist wet dream.
If Politifact could have thought of ANY way to NOT have #Obama be the Liar of the Year and still continue the award,. they would have!
Last year “death panels” were the lie of the year, or was that the year before?
