Is President Obama A Pathological Liar?

The Obama Record: The most frightening aspect of this president may not be his radical ideology but his rank dishonesty in selling that ideology. Now he's been caught lying about family racism.

In "Dreams from My Father," his 1995 memoir, Obama used the story of his paternal grandfather's imprisonment and torture at the hands of British colonists in Kenya as an example of white cruelty. He claimed Hussein Onyango Obama was unjustly detained for six months before being released a crippled, lice-ridden "old man."

In fact, none of it is true, according to Washington Post editor and biographer David Maraniss, who traveled to Kenya to investigate the tale. His grandfather was not detained or beaten by his "white rulers," as Obama, writing as a 34-year-old lawyer, claimed.

This is only the latest example of a growing body of fabrications, embellishments and outright lies told by this president, who has a real and possibly pathological problem with the truth.
Quote:
Lie No. 1: Obama has repeatedly claimed his white grandfather, Stanley Dunham, "fought in Patton's army," when he was a clerk with no combat in WWII.
Quote:
Lie No. 3: Obama claimed his father "fought when he got back to Kenya against tribalism and nepotism, but ultimately was blackballed from the government," when in fact he fought against capitalism and lost his job when he advocated communism.
Quote:
Lie No. 4: Obama has claimed his late mother's health insurer refused "to pay for her treatment" for cancer while citing a "pre-existing condition," when Cigna paid all her hospital bills and never denied payment.
Quote:
Lie No. 7: Obama claimed his parents decided to marry in the excitement of the Selma civil-rights march of 1965 — and that he personally has "a claim on Selma" — when in fact they were married several years earlier.
Quote:
Lie No. 8: Obama claimed his father got to study in the U.S. thanks to JFK's efforts to bring "young Africans over to America," when in fact the Kenyan airlift his father participated in occurred in 1959 under Ike.
Quote:
Lie No. 10: Obama denied being a member of the socialist New Party, when a member roster of the Chicago chapter of the party lists him joining on Jan. 11, 1996.

Lie No. 11: Obama claimed he had only a passing acquaintance with Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, when in fact they held a fundraiser for their Hyde Park neighbor in their living room, and years later, while Obama served in the U.S. Senate, hosted a barbecue for him in their backyard.
Quote:
Lie No. 13: Obama claimed he got in a "big fight" with old white flame Genevieve Cook, who after seeing a black play asked "why black people were so angry all the time," when in fact she never saw the play nor made the remark.
I wonder how many Obama Drones admit in the secret hours of the night, when they're all alone, that they've elected a fraud, someone they'd never hire to work in their home?

No, I think you have too much time on your hands. Find a girlfriend and you will lose some of this anxiety. I'll explain some of how it works later.

It's amazing that the New Party website says "NP-member" and NAMES Barack Obama, but in his supporter's and the media's world, it didn't happen...

So you would hire someone with a fictitious background to work in your home?

You know, I'm a long time, certified contractor, licensed, bonded and insured [this statement in untrue]. I'd love to visit your home to discuss an inexpensive remodel. Do you have a lot of small, valuable items lying about?

Not everyone considers an Obama blow up doll a girlfriend. But if it works for you...

Pathological is gratuitous. It tends to excuse Obama's confabulations as some psychological malady over which he has no control. What happened to simply pointing out a politician simply making things up to support his position? Obama is particularly vulnerable to this because he recites whatever rolls over the teleprompter with little comprehension.

It's nothing more than a sales pitch, truth and accuracy are irrelevant to the story.

This is a dumb thread. If I wanted to I could post a bunch of examples of Romney flipping on this or that. You all know it. Does it mean Romney is a pathological liar? Or do we save that phrase for the black guy?
