According to the Chinese calendar, 2013 was the Year of the Snake. For Americans, however, the year just drawing to a close will be known as the Year of the Lie. Not since the Nixon Administration -- which ended with Richard Nixon resigning in order to avoid being impeached -- has the credibility of a President been held in such low esteem.
Mired in more scandals than fingers and toes on which to count, it seems President Barack Obama and his defenders spent more time this year fibbing to the American people than actually running the executive branch. From the scandals that rocked the IRS, to the disaster that is ObamaCare, the lies emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue have indeed come – to coin a phrase – “Fast and Furious.” Herewith, the Top Ten Lies of 2013.
Lie Number 10: “[The debt ceiling] is not something that is a negotiating tool. It’s not leverage.” - President Barack Obama, 12/20/13. Obama’s words in December differ drastically from the actions his Administration took during October’s government “shutdown.” While Republicans worked for a budget resolution, the White House intentionally made the shutdown as worse as possible for citizens and government workers, including using barricades to block visitors from open-air national monuments.
Lie Number 9: “I didn’t set a red line. The world set a red line.” - President Barack Obama, 9/4/13. Obama’s lack of experience in matters of diplomacy and international affairs is most obvious in his haphazard approach to foreign policy in the Middle East. Addressing the matter of chemical weapons in Syria, Obama sent a “warning shot” to the Assad regime in Damascus, deliberately using the term “red line” in August to describe what would prompt America to take military action. When the American public turned against Obama’s rush to war, he tried amateurishly to flip the script with a lie, contradicting what he said just weeks before.
Lie Number 8: “I don’t have time to think about a false controversy.” - National Security Advisory Susan Rice, 12/22/13. The September 11, 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi led to the first assassination of a U.S. ambassador since the 1970s, and the murders of three other American citizens. Yet, Rice, arguably one of the most powerful players in the Administration because of her long and close personal relationship with Obama, is still trying to convince the American public nothing happened. This is one lie that will likely linger through the 2016 election.
Lie Number 7: “The president enrolled in a health care plan made available by the Affordable Care Act on the D.C. marketplace.” - White House Spokesman Eric Schultz made this glib statement earlier this week. It sounded good, except for the fact Obama did not “enroll” in anything. While on a multi-million dollar, taxpayer-funded vacation in Hawaii, the President’s aides “symbolically” enrolled Obama in the healthcare exchange. Obama has yet to personally enroll in his namesake health program, since doing so would require him to navigate the same nightmarish process millions of other Americans are legally being forced to endure.
Lie Number 6: “It is transparent, that’s why we set up the FISA court.” - President Barack Obama, 6/17/13. Obama once promised that his Administration would be the most “transparent” in history. Such a description of the past five years, however, could not be further from the truth. Every effort to shine light on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court -- the epicenter of the authority under which the National Security Agency has been surveilling untold billions of American citizens’ electronic communications – has been resisted and defeated by the Obama Administration (with enabling support from leaders of both political parties on Capitol Hill).
Lie Number 5: “With regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that I have ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be a wise policy.” - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, 5/15/13. When exposed for using the power of the U.S. Department of Justice to intimidate reporters unfriendly to the Obama Administration, Holder did what his boss routinely does: simply deny all knowledge. In this instance, however, media reports quickly linked Holder to the investigation; in turn prompting a House Judiciary Committee Staff Report calling the Attorney General’s testimony a “deliberate” attempt to “circumvent proper congressional oversight and accountability by distorting the truth about the Justice Department’s investigative techniques targeting journalists.”
Lie Number 4: “Let me repeat: Nothing I'm proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime.” - President Barack Obama, 2/12/13. The national debt has increased by 57 percent under the Obama Administration, compared to 38 percent under President George W. Bush, and 32 percent under President Bill Clinton. When Obama promised in this year’s State of the Union speech that his new proposals would not increase the deficit by a single dime, the GOP calculated Obama had already increased the deficit by 58.6 trillion dimes. The scope and long-term negative effects of this lie are staggering.
Lie Number 3: “I have not done anything wrong.” - Former IRS official Lois Lerner, 5/22/13. This statement, along with Lerner’s assurance that she committed no crimes and violated no IRS policies, were the only words Lerner spoke to the House Oversight Committee before ducking behind the Fifth Amendment. Despite clear evidence linking Lerner to illegally-sharing confidential tax information with the Federal Election Commission, and setting a dangerous precedent of unaccountability for federal misconduct, Lerner was allowed to simply retire in September, still eligible for her taxpayer-funded pension. The President, meanwhile, has never admitted his Administration did anything wrong.
Lie Number 2: “Not wittingly. There are cases where [the NSA] could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly.” - Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, 3/12/13. Following the devastating revelations from Edward Snowden regarding the Obama Administration’s massive, illegal domestic surveillance program, the notion that the NSA “inadvertently” and “unwittingly” collects information on innocent American citizens is not only wrong, but stupid. And, coming from the man in charge of America’s intelligence community, it becomes an outright lie. Members of the House Judiciary Committee are not taking Clapper’s “willful lie under oath” lightly, and are demanding a criminal probe. Just as former President Clinton tried to avoid the truth by claiming, “It depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is,” Clapper’s effort to avoid uttering the truth by use of the term “wittingly,” may come back to haunt him.
And Lie Number 1: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period.” - President Barack Obama. Perhaps the President should have ended this phrase with an asterisk and a footnote, considering that literally millions of Americans are losing their health insurance plans because of stipulations in ObamaCare. Even PolitiFact, the reliably left-leaning political “fact-checker” organization, dubbed this quip from Obama as the organization’s lie-of-the-year.
As I wrote regarding the frightening trend of “New Speak” in the Obama Administration, democracy can only survive in an environment in which citizens are given accurate information on issues affecting them and about people for whom they are asked to vote. Clearly, if the trend in government illustrated by the routine and systemic lies practiced by the current Administration continues, our very way of life is in peril.
“According to the Chinese calendar, 2013 was the Year of the Snake.”
It can’t be both?
Yep, it really rocked em alright. As they continue to do as they always have.
Scandals don't get people killed or directly destroy lives. Treason does.
The Year of the Lie
2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
"A snake is the symbol of Satan."
Enough said
Well, all these lies constitute what?
Fascism.
And the press is nothing more than a propaganda tool of the fascist Obama junta.
And it was predicted and written about YEARS ago:
Barak Obama, The Quintessential Fascist:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html
We need to define them, expose them, ridicule them and deafeat them at whatever cost, whatever effort.Our freedom is at stake.
“As worse as possible...”?
Copy editor must be on vacay.
And your spell checker must be on vacation as there is no such word
That’s what the snake did...lied.
How appropriate for Obama.

Fits, doesn’t it?
My brother, a life long demonRAT and an obama voter in 2008 finally saw the light and voted against obama in 2012 but to no avail.
There is no greater hater than a demonRAT turned against his life long political bent, but I fear for his mental health.
Since he turned against obama, he can't understand why the rest of the demonRATs haven't seen the light, and he rails against their stupidity.
It took him until he was in his 60's to finally wake up but now he expects miracles. It is one conversion at a time.
THE LINGERING LIE The September 11, 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi led murders of the Ambassador three other American citizens. Yet, Rice, who got her NSA job b/c she toadied for Obama---parroting the WH "video" script. She's still trying to convince us nothing happened.
================================================
Susan Rice was on TV a-g-a-i-n---on 60 Minutes. She can't get enough TV time to save her sorry a**---to continue the Benghazi lie and the cover-up. Forget the video---the cover story now includes national security as the rational. Rice figures that should be enough to pump up her sorry resume.
Better to cover up what happened than to let the entire world know about Hillary's involvement....part of her shady MO to get into the WH in 2016.
===========================================================
LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE In 2009, Obama made a "Smart Power" suck-up speech in Cairo----"apologizing" for America's historical role in the Middle East. By snubbing Mubarak, Obama set the stage for the Egyptian president's overthrow by the Islamic mob.
When the worst-case scenario happened, when Obama's personal choice---Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Morsi, was elected president----Obama sap-happily sent his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to Cairo to personally kiss-up to Morsi....perhaps at that time hatching their plans to destroy Westen civiliation in compliance w/ Muslim dictates.
Obama's treacherous ill-advised component of US foreign policy----sucking up to the very people who want to kill us and destroy our churches. He portrayed teeming Muslim majorities there as "victims of Western colonialism and Cold War policies," stupidly promoting American-style democracy for these conflicting cultures w/ thousands of years of religious and territorial factionalism.
OBOBO'S SUCKUP "The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars," Obama said in the June 2009 speech in Cairo. "More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies, without regard to their own aspirations."
==================================================
Fast forward to 2013: the savage Muslim Brotherhood torched some 63 Egyptian churches and many Christian businesses. Obama ignored the bloodbath and spent the crisis dining out, golfing, power-partying, and vacationing in exclusive Martha’s Vineyard on the taxpayers' dime.
Rice stupidly advised Boobamba to phone Gen al-Sisi from MV. But al Sisi refused to take the call knowing Boobamba planned to order the general to call off his beating back the Muslim Brotherhood .
OBAMA: "First, let's make sure the cameras get this staged
photo-op to pump your resume. Now what lie should I tell the
American people about Egypt?"
RICE: "After saying 'the Taliban is on the run and Osama Bin Laden
is dead'.... tell 'em Gen al-Sissi is a big sissy for not taking your phone call."
Report: Healthcare.gov couldn't verify Barack Obama's identity
examiner.com ^ | december 24, 2013 | joe newby / FRPosted by lowbridge
President Obama -- not exactly leading by example -- was finally signed up forObamacare in a symbolic move showing support for his own law. But, Fox News' Ed Henry reported Monday, the healthcare.gov system couldn't verify his identity, so his staff had to sign him up in person.
The reason, Ed Henry said, is that Obama's personal information is not in particular government data bases. "So healthcare.gov could not actually verify his identity, oddly enough," Henry said.
So Obama himself did not sign up for healthcare. Instead, an official told Politico that his staff went to the D.C. exchange in person to sign him up.
“Like some Americans, the complicated nature of the president’s case required an in-person sign-up,” the official said. “As you’d expect, the president’s personal information is not readily available in the variety of government databases HealthCare.gov uses to verify identities.”(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
========================================
DOG AND PONY SHOW---OBAMA's AIDE ENROLLED OBAMA AND NOT THE OBAMA FAMILY B/C TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING BIG BUCKS FOR THEIR INSURANCE.
Obama himself did not sign up for healthcare---his staff went to the D.C. exchange in person to sign up Obama.
STRANGE BUT TRUE Seems Obama's personal information is not readily available in the variety of government databases HealthCare.gov uses to verify identities.........
(NOTE---enrolling Obama w/ fraudulent documents, using several identities, stolen SS nos, and falsifying govt documents is a felony--should be investigated ASAP).
My New York liberal cousin and and her husband both finally woke up too. They voted Obama in 2008, but didn’t vote at all in 2012 because they “just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for him again” Roger has recently begun listening to Hannity and says he has the right ideas. You are correct when you say, “One convert at a time”
Now if I could just get my two liberal kids to think the same way.
