After we published a list of President Trumps lies this summer, we heard a common response from his supporters. They said, in effect: Yes, but if you made a similar list for previous presidents, it would be just as bad.
Weve set out to make that list. Here, you will find our attempt at a comprehensive catalog of the falsehoods that Barack Obama told while he was president. (We also discuss George W. Bush below, although the lack of real-time fact-checking during his presidency made a comprehensive list impossible.)
We applied the same conservative standard to Obama and Trump, counting only demonstrably and substantially false statements. The result: Trump is unlike any other modern president. He seems virtually indifferent to reality, often saying whatever helps him make the case hes 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. Thats an average of about two a year for Obama and about 124 a year for Trump.

and the Royal Idiot never told a really big whopper ... and you dumb old Freepers can believe that because that's what it says in the Times ... !!
The guy’s entire life is a lie. What’s his real name - Barack Barry Hussein Sotero Obama? What grades did he get in school? What’s in his records from this government work in Illinois? etc.
Are liberals loathsome creatures?
That rattlesnake never spoke the truth and the truth was not in him. He was the father of lies, the master of flies, the horned one, the one with the scarred head, the yellow one, the one that smelled bad in the morning, the evil, the corrupt, the devil his own seff.
I’d still like to see Hussein’s college admissions and academic records. And that LA Times video of Hussein’s comments at an islamic gathering.
Irony fail...
Also, most politicians do their lying during the election campaigns, so the comparison of Trump's tweets (many) with Obama's remarks while in office doesn't give the most accurate picture of Obama's credibility or lack of.
Howie Carr is on now asking people for examples of more Obama lies.
Who is the bigger liar? Obama or the NY Slimes? Hard to tell. They were made for each other.
The NYT appears to love to flaunt their bias by printing FAKE NEWS stories instead of factual news.
Hopefully the dinosaur known as the NYT will soon be dead.
That half-breed, homosexual, muslim jihadi wanna be is a lie in and of himself.
The entire Kenyanesian Usurpation was a lie.
But Barry’s lies are much more heavily weighted.
What?! No COMMENTS??
The right-leaning crowd would have made mince-meat out of the douche if they had.
His hero, Saul Alinsky, and his bible, “Rules for Radicals” are based on lies.
Brings to mind the old saying “Are you gonna believe The New York Times, or your own lying eyes?”
Cleaning out my Explorer File Manager, I ran across an old Word doc, “252 Obama Lies”, from back in 2013. So is it 8 or 252?
