Last year the biggest lie of 2013 was Obamas' "If you like your health care plan you can......etc etc"

Although the top three lies of 2014 are unranked, two of the three biggest lies of the year were told by Obama. One involving his ISIS JV quote (if you said your quote, you can keep your quote) - the other was about the Republicans propensity for filibustering.

Rand Paul also told a doozy as well, and rounds out the top three political lies of the year.

Congratulations again Mr President.

Paul - not good. Not good at all. Obama will soon be a has-been. But Paul is a wanna-be, and if he keeps telling such lies he will be a never-was.

"The Nobel Prize for Lying goes to.......................Barack Obama."

The biggest Pinocchios of 2014 - The Washington Post
Ok--so it is obvious you have an agenda. Still, you post an article and omit half of it.

"House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) either inflated or deflated the numbers to a ridiculous extent."

"Russian President Vladimir Putin gets a special international honor (or dishonor) for his speech on Crimea."

"Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), equating school lunches to an “empty soul,” told an evocative and supposedly true story...Ryan later said he regretted failing to verify the tall tale."

"David Perdue (R), ran ads claiming that the Points of Light Foundation once run by Michelle Nunn, his Democratic opponent in Georgia’s Senate race, “funded organizations linked to terrorists.” His evidence was only a leaked campaign plan for Nunn that said that this would be a bogus attack by Republicans. There was no terrorist link."

"The imagery of this National Rifle Association ad lands it on this list...But even the NRA’s own lawyers acknowledged that nothing in the bill would have prevented the mother in this ad from buying a weapon to defend herself, even on short notice."

“There’s been a net loss of people with health insurance”
– House Speaker John Boehner, March 13
Nope. Boehner added apples and then subtracted oranges. At the point he made the statement, it was clear that the net gain was in the millions."

“Only 64,000 Kentuckians have enrolled in Obamacare private plans, far fewer than 280,000 who received notices their plans were canceled.”
– Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), March 29
Nope. The 280,000 was an outdated number, and also did not include just individual plans. The number of individual policies affected by the law was about 100,000, and most never ended up getting notices in the first place."

I realize some of you love to credit Obama and the Dems with everything, but there are enough lies from the right to spread the credit around.

5. Alison Lundergan Grimes (D)
6. David Perdue (R)
7. Agenda Project Action Fund
8. National Rifle Association (also on last year's list)

So neither of you read the details? You went straight to pictures from a headline?

I quote from the article:
Quote:
In compiling this list, which has no particular order, we primarily focused on claims that had earned four Pinocchios during the year. We also tried to focus on issues of broad interest, such as terrorism, health care and the size of government. To keep it simple, we have shortened the quotes in the headlines. To read the full column, click on the link embedded in the quote.

As many times as I have heard Obama lie I am surprised he isn't in all ten spots. Maybe they are tired of listening to his lies.

Moonbats will not hold him responsible. I haven't read any responses but I bet the moonbats decry others that lied, your source etc.. You have the leader of the free world that is a known pathalogical liar and moonbats just accept it as normal because it matches their value or lack of value system. Makes my stomach turn and this is the President of what once was the greatest nation on the planet until they destroyed it in 6 short years.

Those "lies" were told by many Democrats first.

Obama has got Bush beat, who not only lied about how his own mother died, he continued the lie after being caught in the lie. He knows the sheep follow the shepherd regardless and there is no point in telling the truth when lies are excused.
