Could be.
The Obama bashers are definitely pathological liars.

Barry can't help it. It is part of his culture.

Please don't patronize me. His job is not to campaign for entitlement programs to shore up his party's base. I can tell you that.

I see two possibilities:
1- You have no clue about how the government system is designed to work in the USA.
2- You would rather lie and mislead to meet political ends.

But across the rest of the country, plain ol’ folk call ‘em lies. Bald-faced (even bold-faced) lies. Those folks have a tried-and-true way of determining a lie:

If you know what you’re saying is patently false, then it’s a lie. Simple.
And lately, the president has been lying so much that his pants could burst into flames at any moment."

CURL: Is Obama a pathological liar? - Washington Times
of course he's a liar. And a failure with help from Congress. But then again so was the President before him.

What's to miss? He's in the middle of his 3rd term right now, in case you had failed to notice. Bill Clinton has been publically handholding and advising Obama. He even takes over press conferences for him.

Or perhaps I don't care to have you drive a conversation to show how smart you are. Honestly...I have absolutely no trust in Skippy and the Nitwits to do anything that serves this country. I'm sorry.

Your trust doesn't matter. But when you're sharing your "thoughts" on a public forum, you should be prepared to be able to back up your claims instead of seeing "trouble" in your thoughts.

I will always lose if I try to engage on emotional grounds that happens to be the hallmark of the right wingers. So, allow me to try and push a little harder, asking for logical grounds... somewhere in the middle will work just fine! Thanks in advance.

Now, you say that...
- Obama promised to close Gitmo
- He did not close Gitmo

Hence, according to you, he lied. Okay, do you understand what it would take for a President of the USA to get something he believes in, to fruition? Push personal agenda? He did sign an executive order on Jan 22, 2009, to close Gitmo, didn't he? At that point, the right wingers including you were screaming foul and "dictatorship", weren't you? Or, were you happy that he was trying to keep his promise and that Gitmo should be closed?
LOL - so we're supposed to know how the govt works, but Obama doesn't? OK, he's not a liar. He's dumb as a box of rocks. Better?

I'll get all my tapes out of the attic sometimes, of promises Obama made, before and after he was elected. I'll let you know, i know this for fact he made plenty, that have not happened. He promised us a bowl of cherries, and thensome, he told many lies, but does this make him a pathological liar, don't think so. I taped him so that we can play him back, and laugh at all his lies of things told to us that would never come to be. I just don't want to see him, or hear him, that is why they are in the attic somewhere.

The Wall Street Journal used to be a conservative paper whose articles one could trust factual accuracy. Since Murdock bought it, one can no longer trust it the way one used to.

The Washington Times is characterizing differences of opinion as "lies." What undercuts Mr. Boehner's claim that he didn't walk away from negotiations is the fact that he walked away from negotiations.
Did you just say the NYT "presents the news in a factual and objective manner"??? Bwahahahahaha, good one! Have you ever heard the name Jayson Blair?
