Obama's biggest whoppers - The Washington Post

Thanks! And here's another one. (But again, Obama isn't in the white house anymore so what does any of this matter today? I just thought the subject was funny, is why I replied to it ...nothing more than that.)

"Trump is unlike any other modern president. He seems virtually indifferent to reality, often saying whatever helps him make the case he’s trying to make.

In his first 10 months in office, he has told 103 separate untruths, many of them repeatedly. Obama told 18 over his entire eight-year tenure. That’s an average of about two a year for Obama and about 124 a year for Trump."

The G.W. Bush tax cuts were across-the-board, not just for "the rich."

After the 2001 and 2003 G.W. Bush tax cuts, government revenue increased by $785 billion, between 2004 and 2007, the largest four-year increase in history up to that time.

The stock market has reacted with a correction and huge amounts of wealth have been wiped out.

Just like every other Republican admin in my lifetime, Trump has once again taken an economy that was in great shape and with the deadly combination of tax cuts for the wealthy and increased spending has killed it. The US is now on the edge of another recession and is likely to experience rising interest rates and stagflation soon.
The Trump tax cuts are for 80% of taxpayers, not just for "the rich."

They don’t call him Obummer for nothing..

He came in talking about hope and change and changing the country and world .

He had 8 years and he didn’t really get very much accomplished .

I don’t think he’s a bad guy or anything and I voted for him but he was overall a let down .

I voted for Trump and he’s taken a lot more action and just getting started .

Obama left the door open for Americans to elect an overgrown corrupt juvenile.

If he didn't make Americans so divisive, Trump would've never won the election.

If that is actually the case, why then did Obama NOT unite the country???
