If you Google “Obama + Liar” it will cite 33,000,000 times in which someone has written or posted that Obama a liar and, after a slow start, thanks to an adoring media, it took well into his first term for the accusation to become frequent. Inaugurated in 2009, early on his lies were being cataloged in order to keep up with them. There is even a website devoted to his lies, obamalies.net. They are constant.
One of the most famous stories about George Washington was penned by Mason Lock Weems, more generally known as Parson Weems, an American author who is forever a part of our history for his “Life of Washington”, in which he spins a tale about young George and a cherry tree he chopped down. When challenged, Washington replied “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my little hatchet.” That, of course, was fiction. Washington was a man of widely acknowledged integrity, but he successfully deceived the British on many occasions.
All Presidents have been accused of lying by their political opponents, but Obama’s habitual lying has generated millions of words as various pundits have tried to figure out why. Writing in the October 25, 2012 edition of Canada Free Press Selwyn Duke said, “A liar, however is someone who lives and breathes the lie; someone who specializes in the art of artifice; someone to whom lying is his first recourse, not his last. Such a man is Barack Obama.”
In July 2011, Joseph Curl asked “Is Obama a pathological liar?” in a column for The Washington Times. “In the weird world that is Washington, men and women say things daily, hours, even minutely, that they know deep down are simply not true. Inside the Beltway, we all call those utterances “rhetoric”…And lately the President has been lying so much that his pants could burst into flames at any moment.”
