I was so hoping for
"Lie of the Decade".
(But then again, "Lie of the Young Century" might also work.)

I can’t agree with that.
Obama is the Liar of All American History.

NBC reported This? Will the wonders never cease? Merry Christmas! They were very careful, however, not to call it "Obamacare" anywhere in the story.

IIRC this same group called Romney out for the worst lie in 2012 for his outrageous fib about Chrysler moving Jeep production to China. Which they are doing, by the way.
Maybe this is payback, now that the election is over.

Hard to say, but it is trending downward about as fast as a falling star.

Gosh, that’s the only thing I’ve heard him say that I agree with. I listened to Don Imus for about a week back in the early '00s, but soon turned the dial because I honestly didn't 'get' him.
