The Truth Wins – by Michael Snyder

How many lies can one president tell and still retain any credibility?  What you are about to see is absolutely astounding.  It is a long list of important promises that Barack Obama has broken since he has been president.  If he had only told a few lies, perhaps the American people would be willing to overlook that.  After all, pretty much all of our politicians our liars.  Unfortunately, many of the lies that Obama has told appear to have been quite cold-hearted in nature.  For example, Barack Obama repeatedly made the promise that “you will be able to keep your health care plan” under Obamacare.  But now we are learning that he knew that this was a lie all along.    Continue reading “A List Of 23 Famous Obama Quotes That Turned Out To Be Broken Promises Or Cold-Hearted Lies”
