25 Obama Whoppers for the Media to chew on ... and how about some fried with that?

Now that the media have shown their eagerness to expose the “lies” of presidential candidate Ben Carson, they might want to review some of the nuggets they overlooked in the rise of Barack Obama. To be sure, there's no going back, but future generations of journalists might benefit from seeing how shamelessly the fourth estate transformed itself into the Democrats’ fifth column.

25.  “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.” Obama made this pledge in September 2007. He broke it in June 2008. He told the Washington Post he still supported the idea of public financing, but the current system was “broken” and favored Republicans who had “become masters at gaming” it. The media yawned.

24.  “So don't tell me I don't have claim on Selma, Alabama.” In March 2007, Obama claimed the 1965 events in Selma inspired his parents to get together. He was born in 1961. The media chose not to notice.

23.  “We'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN.” No fewer than eight times candidate Obama promised to air health-care negotiations on C-SPAN. Remember watching them?

22.  “Qaddafi threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region.” This was pure bunkum. The left has been selling “bloodbaths” successfully since the Spanish Civil War.

21.  “I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that.”  Still waiting on this one.

20.  “But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact.” Now if Obama could just get those 30,000 dissenting scientists an ObamaCare exemption, maybe he could shut them up.

19.  “This administration has done more for the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration.”

Just reading that list raises my blood pressure a few points.

Good list.

But I would also like to list the lies of candidate Mitt Romney in 2012:

1. I am running for President of the United States on the Republican ticket.

There may have been others, but they are inconsequential compared to this one. He didn’t run for President. He threw the election to his great friend, the Magic Muslim.
