    It's an admission against interest. Polibifact is all leftist agenda all the time. When EVEN they admit that Obama's a filthy scum sucking liar you know the word is out.

    Keep shilling for lying and fail!

    So it's only an admission against interest when it supports your position. Got it.

    One of your more ignorant posts, to be sure.

    It's an admission against interest when it's an admission against interest. My position doesn't figure in. It's 100% about THEM admitting something against THEIR position.

    Stings, don't it?

    To be fair, they did scapegoat for the Scumbag-in-Chief for 3 years. They were a 'go to' source for lefties looking to bolster their agitprop. But the tide changed and so did they. They also hedged. It's not like they quit being a mouthpiece for the Dems.

    Actually, it appears that Politifact is greatly influenced by progressive "thought" and a consistently detectable liberal bias. Politifact is thoroughly enmeshed with Cox Enterprises, whose liberal credentials go all the way back to its famous founder, James Cox, in 1898, when he bought a newspaper in Ohio. Through the years, the newspaper and communications empire grew so that today it is generally recognized as one of the most powerful "information" networks in the United States: http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/arts-culture/cox-enterprises

    Politifact? They've blasted Sara Palin, for example, when she claimed that Obamacare would lead to death-panels, in which government bureaucrats decide who gets treatment for serious illness, and who does not. This is certainly not the behavior of a "moderate" news organization, especially since the inclusion of death-panels (IPAB -- Independent Payment Advisory Board) as part of the Obamacare plan has been confirmed by no less than hyperliberal Time magazine's Mark Halperin.

    But now Politifact comes forth and tags President Transparency with being the biggest LIAR of the year...(at least).... Some attribute this sort of common-sense "coming out" seen among liberal Democrats in recent weeks as a general awakening from the stupor of illusion and delusion of the "hope and change" Obamarama. Others shrewdly observe that this is merely the Bill Clinton wing of the Democrat party trying to save its ass (and Hillary's 2016 presidential aspirations) by calling Obama out loudly, in public, and admonishing him to tell the truth and honor his stated promises -- PERIOD!

    Does Politifact fall in the Bill Clinton camp? It seems so. About the only people who are still true-believers ("useful idiots") in Obamacare are the hard-core Socialists and other socialized-medicine extremists who are utterly manic in their determination to get something for nothing -- in this case, government "subsidies" to pay for their nearly-free medical care.

    It could never have happened without Obama telling his damned, dirty LIE, over and over. And it's sickeningly ironic -- Bill Clinton was nearly impeached and removed from office because of lying over "sex with that woman" -- BUT -- today, Libocrat Socialists are happy to ignore it while Barack Obama puts a monstrous wealth redistribution engine into existence, built on a LIE that affects ONE-SIXTH of the economy of the United States. Ultimately, all Politifact has done is to repeat what many of us have known all along -- Obama is a deceitful, manipulating LIAR. It is he who needs to be impeached, removed from office, and, sent to prison for this high crime....

    Yeah right, Clinton gets beat up over a blowjob and Obama gets to skate when he lies like a dog and starts the biggest welfare fraud in the country's history. Hey, a lie is a lie is a LIE. And the person who tell it over and over is a LIAR. PERIOD! Now I wonder what else this SOB has been lying about?

    Politifact is so liberal and they gave Obama "lie of the year" award?

    Damned funny way of showing it, isn't it?

    Making something up in order to sell something constitutes dishonesty. Obama sold Obamacare. It is his product. If someone else made up the lie, and Obama merely repeated it over and over, then it still constitutes dishonesty. When you are selling anything, you are obligated to make certain that the information you are presenting as facts are indeed facts. If you you don't, then you are just as responsible for the lies as the scumbag who thought them up. Is the defense ignorance? Are we to give Obama a pass because he didn't actually know anything about Obamacare even though he was appearing on up to five talk shows a day in order to educate everyone on the subject? No matter how you try to spin it, Obama is 100% responsible.

    Obama, of course, went much further. He had that website set up so people could report their friends, neighbors and family directly to the White House if they made any "fishy" sounding statements regarding the ACA. Yet he was out there saying anything that sounded good without putting in any effort to verify whether or not it was factual. He actually had the gall to attack others for lying about the ACA as he lied about it. Though I don't think he cared in the least whether he was telling the truth or not. He would have said anything (and in fact did) in order to get the ACA through. Obama promised to go through legislation line-by-line to make sure there weren't any wasteful earmarks etc. in it. Going through legislation line-by-line would entail actually reading it. I don't, for one moment, believe Obama actually read any of the legislation he signed as he promised he would (more dishonesty. how shocking!). I believe he merely regurgitated dishonest talking points his team dreamed up. Needless to say, he, the main stream media and the gullible liberals on this forum attacked anyone who dared questions his statements that have, of course, turned out to be nothing but blatant lies, and they all look like absolute idiots because of it.

    I'm not seeing a lie there. How many of those people liked their health plans? Obie should have said "If you like your health care plan, and we know you don't, you can keep your health care plan."

    Whether it was a lie or not, it doesn't quite rise to the level of "we know Hussein has biological, chemical and nuclear weapons". 200,000 dead ones because of that lie.

    Some things Obama said about the ACA were wrong.

    The Affordable Care Act, nationalized WillardCare, is the law of the land, and will continue to be implemented.

    The President was was born in Hawaii.

    He was twice elected President by both the electoral vote and by a popular majority of the US electorate.

    His dismal approval level is at 43%, whilst Republicans in Congress are at 24%. They have no serious alternative to the Affordable Care Act.

    Sometimes, it's necessary to put things in perspective and remind folks of reality.

    The inveterate bellywhinging pantywaists need to be reminded continually.

    It gives me hope to see Politifact chosing its recipient of "Lie of the Year" award with equanimity, accuracy, and, perhaps, a chastened degree of fairness, especially after tearing into Sarah Palin (as I said earlier).

    Sarah Palin didn't lie, whereas President Transparency has done nothing but lie -- over and over again! I like to think that even the "useful idiot" category of hyperliberals are capable of seeing a devious, manipulating, doctrinaire autocrat like Comrade Obama for what he is, Iriemon when the evidence is finally seen for what it is! It shouldn't be hard now, after Obama has shown his ASS like a super-nova in the night sky....

    But, we've got a long way to go -- both Democrats and Republicans! We were all ready to barbeque Bill Clinton for lying about getting a knob-job from round-eyed Monica, but we're going to just look the other way while President Jive-ass tells bald-faced LIES to set a wealth redistribution engine into motion that threatens the stability of 1/6ths of the economy of the United States?! I would welcome Bill Clinton back in the White House TODAY, with tears in my eyes, and a song in my heart, and I've said that before now. With all his faults, Bill Clinton had twice as much sheer mentality as Idiot Bush and Idiot Obama put together; moreover, he has ten times more sincerity and truthfulness than Idiot Obama will ever have in his whole deceitful life....

    Clinton was disbarred for his perjury during court testimony. Please don't minimize his crime.

    Yes, you're right, Bill Clinton lied about "sex with that woman". Still, compared with our current President Transparency, I'd take Bill Clinton back in the White House today, with tears of gratitude in my eyes -- that's how thoroughly loathsome, disgusting, and maddening Barack Obama is to many of us who are outraged at his crass, strong-armed Obamacare mechanism, which was sold to the Congress on the basis of a whole portfolio of bald-faced LIES which he has repeated over and over!

    I would 'welcome' Carter. He didn't hate America.
