Mine has almost reached god-like status and is a prelude to how politicians abroad should share information. the Iraqi Information Minister

I don't really care for liars with the exception of Bill Clinton as mentioned above who has made massive comebacks since then. I will tell you who I have been loving for the last couple of years though, Anthony Weiner. Whenever people dream of powning politicians this is the guy who is actually doing it. That guy would have my vote every time if I just lived in the correct area.

I think it is actually a tie between Obama and Bush Jr. Both lie through their teeth, and both have somehow decieved a large amount of their population with those lies :lol:

Almost everything he promised never happened, in fact some of the opposite of what he promised happened.

I don't like Obama, but in his defence the whole of the US seems to be against him, and so it should be no surprise that he hasn't accomplished his goals.

But it doesn't matter either way.

I wish people would quit with this silliness. All modern Presidents have used teleprompters, Reagan included. It's a perfectly valid way to deliver a speech.

Bill Clinton.

Although OP's guy is pretty impressive too. It takes a real character to insist that the enemy is nowhere near your city when there are plumes of smoke rising behind you.

I'm not saying he's the worst political liar because he isn't but even when the American people DO back him he caves in. The majority of the American people were against extending the bush tax cuts and he "compromised" he never even put up a fight. In 08 he was saying how "America can't afford to keep these tax cuts" he made speech after speech against them. He's kept some of his promises

It's always the promises he publicizes that he caves on.

He compromised on it because that was the only realistic course of action. Pursuing a fight would have raised taxes for everybody, and it was the compromise that enabled the other lame duck Congress legislative achievements.

Why would I look at your slanted video when the promises are all laid out in an objective fashion in my link?

You said that almost everything that he promise didn't happen. The 134 accomplishments prove this absolutely wrong. The stalled, in the works items are taking political reality into account, something that you seem to be unwilling to do.

As for your two years comment, he doesn't have a magic wand. Certain things take time. But I know it's easy to be an armchair quaterback. :roll:

I have a long list, but it's Obama right now. I got dupped in thinking I was voting for a moderate. How's that working out. I have a feeling he'll try that trick again next year.

Bill Clinton

Only because what he lied about was not a big deal. If someone can't even tell the truth about the little stuff then its scary what big stuff they arefibbing about.

How is he not a moderate? He is highly pragmatic and his own political ideology is very near the center.

He's not a moderate. He's pretty liberal. Ramming health care through, overturn overseas abortion funding, the blame game on conservatives, his political background, his stance on taxes.

Yes, the majority of the American people were against extending the Bush tax cuts, but guess what? Those same American people voted Republicans (pro Bush Tax Cut) into their respective positions! There is no "strictly better" party right now...and there probably won't be for awhile. Both Democrats and Republicans have proven that they can't run a country. Also, that video is so right-leaning that I'm practically sideways. If you want to prove a point, then try and pick something from a reliable, moderate perspective.

Oh, and let's not forget that you have Beck, O'Reilly, Palin, Limbaugh, and Hannity spoon-feeding bull**** to anyone who will listen to their pathetic rants. The liberals don't have Keith Olbermann anymore, so the GOP just gained a monopoly on hate-spewing propaganda machines.
