Obama Lies:

I will have the most transparent administration in history.
TARP is to fund shovel-ready jobs.
I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.
The IRS is not targeting anyone.
It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
If I had a son.
I will put an end to the type of politics that "breeds division, conflict and cynicism".
You didn't build that!
I will restore trust in Government.
The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
It's not my red line - it is the world's red line.
Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
I am not spying on American citizens.
ObamaCare will be good for America
You can keep your family doctor.
Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan
It's just like shopping at Amazon
I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious" gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels
I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups
I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi

And the biggest one of all:

"I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America."

Does Obama Have Any Foreign Policy Successes?
.......................................................................................................................
by Keith Koffler on February 22, 2014,
White House Dossier
Excerpt:

At all? Any? Just one?


The results speak for themselves. Let’s take a short trip around the world to see if we can find any foreign policy successes.

Mexico:
The country continues to deteriorate into a narcostate, and what’s more Mexicans are none too happy with us for fueling the problem with intentionally sent weapons.

South America: Leftism has been in the march throughout the continent during Obama’s presidency. No reversals to speak of. Venezuela remains in ruins, but people there may finally be taking matters into their own hands.

Cuba: Cuba still no libre.

Canada: Obama has actually created tensions in what is normally our most harmonious relationship by bowing to political influence and taking years to decide on the Keystone pipeline.

Europe:
Obama does not seems to have developed friendships with any European leaders – the type of relationships that are needed for allies to operate seamlessly. Rather, there seems to be a kind of frostiness and some mistrust.

Great Britain: Nothing special anymore about the special relationship.

Russia: Reset button needs another press.

Turkey: Prime Minister Erdogan is said to be one of the few international leaders with whom Obama has some chemistry. The result? Increasing authoritarianism and Islamicization of a key NATO ally.

Syria: While Obama mulls his options, one of the great human disasters of the past 100 years
– and that’s saying something – continues to unfold.

Israel: U.S.-Israeli relations probably at their worst since Israel’s founding in 1948.

Israeli-Palestinian conflict:
Secretary of State Kerry on an unlikely mission to gain a peace deal and a peace prize.

Egypt: A disaster until the generals took matters into their own hands and threw out the Islamist regime Obama had backed.

Libya: After weeks of indecision, Obama orchestrated the ouster of Qadaffi. Now the place is teaming with Islamists, and probably needs . . . a new Qadaffi.

Iran: Obama failed to back a serious challenge to the regime, which is now on the cusp of gaining nuclear weapons.

Jordan and Saudi Arabia: Mortified at U.S. fecklessness and the prospect of a nuclear Iran

Iraq: Obama withdrew all U.S. troops, and the country is once again a killing field and a magnet for al Qaeda-linked extremists.

Afghanistan:
An insufficient U.S. “surge” kept the Taliban from defeat and primed them to take over once most or all U.S. troops depart.

Pakistan:
Anti-U.S. anger as we take out bad guys with drones. Not that this is a bad idea. But the relationship doesn’t seem to be getting managed very well. Meanwhile, the Pakistani Taliban gains strength.

China: No significant improvement in relations. Highly publicized “pivot” to Asia seems to be antagonizing China into even more aggressive behavior with respect to its neighbors, which the United States is not forcefully enough opposing.
