So this happened today:
BREAKING: Obama notes 'utter loss of shame among political leaders when they're caught in a lie and they just double down.'

AP – Former U.S. President Barack Obama is taking aim at the “utter loss of shame among political leaders when they’re caught in a lie and they just double down and lie some more.”
Obama’s spirited speech in South Africa is his highest-profile address since leaving office. He is marking the 100th anniversary of anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela’s birth and giving an impassioned defense of the values held by the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Obama says these days “people just make stuff up” in politics and no longer show embarrassment when being caught out.
He warns that the denial of facts could be the undoing of democracy.
Whut.
I mean seriously. From a man who lied so many times about so many things…
Note he laments that people don’t show any embarrassment when being caught in a lie. But that’s because of him! He did that! Yeah, he totally built that.
Allow me to remind you of a few of his great hits:
- “The most transparent administration evah!”
- “Shovel ready jobs!”
- “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, period.”
- “If you like your health insurance, you can keep it.”
- “Benghazi was because of a video!”
And there are so many more that I could spend all day writing them out. But unfortunately I don’t have that kind of time.
The last person on this earth that should be calling out anyone for lying is Obama. He was as shameless as they come and the media turned the other way while he coughed them up.
