Not all politicians lie. Hitler published Mein Kampf and then went out and did exactly what he said he was going to do.
Obama published “Faith of my Fathers”, and then went out and did exactly what he said he was going to do.
It seems only Republicans lie their collective asses off to get elected. Autocrats and liberals don’t have to lie. They tell you exactly how its going to be.
Obama claimed to be a "new" kind of politician. Among the ways in which he claimed to be "new" was that he was post-racial. Of course we got the same old race baiting and racialist identity politics from him and his party. He also claimed that he was "not an ideologue," one of the most outrageous howlers in the history of politics. Both were lies, and huge ones.
All politicians lie. The only US President who didn't have to lie was Washington; because he wasn't a politician.
