The Gold Medal Winner for Presidential Lies
In its efforts to portray Donald Trump as the most despicable person ever, the Left slanders him daily in ways unprecedented in American history. If Trump makes an exaggeration, which he is prone to do, he's called a liar. When Trump achieved anything of note in office, the Left cherry-picked minor aspects that could be criticized and elevated beyond their stature.
Those on the Right recognize the more profound, universal truths that Trump espouses. Hence, they attend his rallies by the tens of thousands. Hardly anyone is eager to attend a Joe Biden rally. Why?
An Administration Built on Lies
Joe Biden, beyond his word salad bumbling, is an incredible liar, covering for Barack Obama, his master. Virtually everything that Biden and his press secretary say is a lie. Unsurprisingly, public confidence in the presidency and today’s sycophant journalism is at an all-time low.
His agency heads constantly lie: Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray, Pete Buttigieg, Antony Blinken, take your pick.
The precedent for the Biden Administration’s lies is the administration of Barack Obama, for whom Biden served as vice president. Obama taught Biden the best of lying techniques.
To Lie and To Serve
A brief look at presidential lies since 1968 puts Obama’s lies in context.
Lies are sometimes necessary, but some are gross manipulations of reality. LBJ said that none of our boys would die in foreign soil, and 54,000 Americans died in Vietnam.
Nixon made many statements, most memorably, “I'm not a crook,” yet he sought to steal the private records of enemies and was exposed by the Watergate scandal. George Bush senior said, “Read my lips, no new taxes.” Then, in office, he raised taxes, which, rolling over in his grave, he likely regrets. Bill Clinton told so many lies that you’d need a book to catalog them all. Among his most famous is “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”
George W. Bush, faultily advised, made concerning statements about Iraq. Barack Obama, Joe Biden’s handler, said he’d have the most transparent administration in history. Alas, he was the most secretive, spying on enemies, journalists, political opponents, and everyday American citizens.
Master of Big Lies
Obama touted that he’d restore trust in the government. Instead, he opened the doors to the opposite. Obama said the stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs. It did not. He said, “I am focused like a laser on creating jobs. The jobs he created were low-wage and low-level. Obama told hard-working entrepreneurs, “You didn't build that,” which offended business owners everywhere.
Obama weaponized federal agencies to persecute and prosecute Conservatives, so it was hardly a transparent administration. He insisted the IRS was not targeting anyone, but under his henchwoman, Lois Learner, the IRS targeted the Tea Party and Conservatives in general. Lerner’s department harassed, intimidated, and fined them, diminishing their impact on voters in the 2012 election.
Obama proclaimed that a spontaneous riot based on a movie sparked the attack on the Benghazi consulate, which he knew was completely untrue. The attack was well coordinated and planned in advance.
The Hits Keep on Coming
Obama announced that the public would have five days to review every bill on his desk. Then, he hustled through some of the most expensive boondoggles in U.S. history. With the introduction of Obamacare, Obama said that you can keep your family doctor and that premiums will be lowered by $2,500. This was utterly false.
Obama stated that whistleblowers would be protected in his administration. Then, he offered no protection. Obama said we'll get back every dime we use to rescue the banks and auto companies with interest. This did not happen.
He emphasized that, if elected, he would end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan within nine months. He did not. He claimed he would close Guantanamo within six months. It did not happen. He claimed ignorance about the “fast and furious” gun-running scheme to arm Mexican drug cartels. He knew.
The Biggest Lie of All
Obama proclaimed that he would bridge the gap between black and white Americans. Actually, he increased it in ways that set racial relations back 50 years.
The biggest lie that Obama ever uttered occurred on January 20th, 2009, when he said, “I, Barack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.” Twelve years later, Biden did the same.
