Yes, we here at FR shake our heads in collective disbelief every time we hear another lie come out of Obama and the MSM is silent about it.

Truly pitiful.

But that's why we call him the liar-in-chief.

the silence between lies doesn't coun in his favor???

does he also lie in his sleep???

[Robwin]

Is questioning Obama’s “facts” racist?

[albie]

Of course not. That would be racist, homophobic, anti Islamic, biased and sexist. Next question.

Heh, Heh, you and your rhetorical questions....

[Georgia Girl 2]

The presidential fact checkers have all died of exhaustion. :-)

[Vendome]

Ass wipe.

We are in the bottom 30% of per capita murders and we drop to near dead last, when you remove criminal on criminal culling.

[Dogbert41]

Yes, Senator Robert Menendez fact checks Obama.

[fivecatsandadog]

His whole life is one big lie, and since the PTB don’t give a rip about it, why would they or anyone else question what he says? Just assume it’s all BS and you’re golden.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

It is always a safe assumption that any creature involved in this administration is automatically lying, concealing or distorting any statement they may make in the performance of their official duties. It is their nature, their essence their very being to live and love the lie.

Facts? We don’t need no stinking facts!

[Zack Attack]

There are presidential fact-checkers but they are totally overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of facts to correct out of POTUS’ mouth.

Give them 20-30 years to catch up.

Reminds me a little of Max Headroom.

When a person tells so many lies to purposefully make it a full time job to fact check them all,
who will step up to the job? It's overwhelming and no news station could survive by
constantly proving the President wrong, and makes him out to be a victim.

It takes one 15 min speech to cost any station devoted to this effort at least a week
to do all the fact checking, and due diligence on that. This IMO is why Obama will
lie constantly in order to undermine our journalistic 1st Amendment process of vetting.

And no, it doesn't work both ways with todays arrogant Democrat owned media.
It has become as bad as the early 1900's where the Newspapers did exactly
what is happening in todays media. Full circle. Yes there is a history and they really
are repeating it, they know what they're doing.

[Paleo Conservative]

Why would anyone need to do that? If Obama says something, it’s a fact, and the media will report it as fact.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Does Anyone Fact-Check the President?

Not any more. Based on his past record I save time by believing that he is lying all the time.

If he ever speaks the truth other then by accident I will go back to fact checking.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Mmmm, wouldn’t that be a bit racist???

[Bullish]

Leftist ideologues always play fast and loose with the “facts”. In fact, they're big fat liars.

[Campion]

Zero is a truly-believing, America-hating Marxist ideologue. His whole worldview revolves around that. “Facts” take a distant backseat to The Ideology. Reality is just a bourgeois construct used to oppress the masses, you know.
