Today on the radio show, Glenn spent two hours going through the documented lies of the Obama administration. He kicked things off with the lies that came at the very beginning, tackling Obama’s promises on the campaign trail and the distortions about his past.
“If you catch them in an early lie, they learn their lesson and so they don’t continue to do it. But if you don’t call them on early lies, they only get worse, bigger, and more dangerous. So let’s start with the early lie,” Glenn said.
Lie 1: PRESIDENT OBAMA: The Kennedys decided we’re going to do an airlift. We’re going to go out to Africa and we’re going to start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so that they can learn what a wonderful country America is. And this young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country.
Truth: His father came to America at least a year before this program started.
Lie 2: President Obama: There’s some good craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided we know that in the world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. But something’s stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. And so they got together and Barack Obama, Jr. was born.
Truth: He was born four years before the Selma march.
Lie 3: President Obama: It’s the founding ideals that the flag draped over my father’s coffin stand for.Truth: His father was buried in Kenya, never served in the U.S. military. Which flag draped his father’s coffin? And what ideals does the flag that draped his father’s coffin in Kenya stand for?
Lie 4: President Obama promised that lobbyists would not be a part of his administration or have the influence in Washington they had previously
Truth: He broke that promise three days later. CNN reported, “Just this weekend The New York times published a list of names — a rather long list of names of people — who are working on Obama’s transition team or who have accepted jobs in his White House who are either former lobbyists or who have close ties to lobbyists.”
Lie 5: President Obama: “And Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.”
Truth: Obama later said, “This was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech and we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given. The point we were simply making was, is that we don’t want barbed wire running through Jerusalem.”
Lie 6: President Obama: I believe in the Constitution and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We’re not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end run around congress.
Truth: He’s used signing statements over 20 times.
The Documented Obama Lies: Healthcare
Glenn spent two hours today going through the lies told by the Obama administration over the past few years, and some of the biggest whoppers involved healthcare.
“Virtually everything we told you about the healthcare bill now has proven to be true,” Glenn said. ”And nearly everything they told you was a lie.”
Lie 1: PRESIDENT OBAMA: For my mother to die of cancer at the age of 53 and have to spend her last months of her life in the hospital rooming arguing with insurance companies because they are saying that this may be a preexisting condition and they don’t have to pay her treatment, there’s something fundamentally wrong about that.
Truth: Glenn explained, “Well, what would be fundamentally wrong is the story itself. His mother was never challenged by her insurance company because of preexisting conditions. There was some concern over her disability claim. She was treated. And when she finally came in for treatment, it was covered by insurance. By the way, she continued to receive her $85,000 a year salary plus housing and car from her employer. But don’t mention any of that because if you do, you’re a racist. Shameless to use your mother’s illness, to lie about your mother’s circumstances to gain political advantage.”
Lie 2: PRESIDENT OBAMA: If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance. If you’ve got a doctor that you like, you will be able to keep your doctor. Nobody is trying to change what works.
Truth: Even if you like your plan, you may not be able to keep it.
Lie 3: President Obama: Nobody is talking about some government takeover of healthcare.
Lie 4: President Obama: For us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.
Truth: Supreme Court ruled Obamacare was legal as a tax.
The Documented Lies: Benghazi – What difference does it make?
Hillary Clinton famously tried to brush off the truth by screeching out ‘what difference does it make?’ during a Congressional hearing. Hillary clearly gambled that the media also doesn’t care about the truth, and as it turns out she was mostly right. She’s still in line for the 2016 nomination even though she oversaw the death of four Americans and said she didn’t care about it. But that’s just the beginning of the Benghazi lies…
Lie: The attacks were the result of a spontaneous protest in response to a Youtube Video.
Examples:
Susan Rice: Our current best assessment based on the information that we have at present is that, in fact, what this began as was a spontaneous, not a premeditated response to what had transpired in Cairo.Truth: The attacks were a premeditated terror attack that had nothing to do with a YouTube video.
President Obama: What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests.
Jay Carney: It is in response not to United States policy, not to obviously the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video, a film.
Rep. Gowdy said, “For almost a year there was an escalating pattern of violence directed toward the United States and other Western targets in Libya. Attacks on the consulate and Benghazi, attacks and assassination attempts on the British ambassador, attacks on the international Red Cross, attacks on courthouses, judges assassinated, culminating on September the 11th and the murder of four Americans including our ambassador.

The Documented Obama Lies: Fast and Furious
The Federal government knowingly and purposefully walked guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels as part of a scheme to uncover and bust the cartels. Later the guns we sent over were used to kill our own border patrol agents, and now the administration is in full lie mode. Glenn had more on radio in the clip above.
Lie 1: Fast and Furious started under the Obama administration and didn’t start in Washington DC but in the field. President Obama: First of all, I think it’s important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field‑initiated program begun under the previous administration.
Truth: The program was started in October 2009 and the strategy was decided at the Department of Justice in Washington DC.
