<![CDATA[ObaMao's biggest lies...from only his first term]]>http://www.politico.com/story/2012/10/10-quotes-that-haunt-obama-081895

“I’m the first one to confess that the spirit that I brought to Washington, that I wanted to see instituted, where we weren’t constantly in a political slugfest … I haven’t fully accomplished that. Haven’t even come close in some instances. And, you know, if you ask me what’s my biggest disappointment [it] is that we haven’t changed the tone in Washington as much as I would have liked.”


“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”


on the economy:


“If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”


“Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.”


“I think that health care, over time, is going to become more popular.”


and one of the biggest, most notorious lies of all:


“I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.” (see Osiris's view on this, eh?)


“It’s here that companies like Solyndra are leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future.”


“I fought with you in the Senate for comprehensive immigration reform. And I will make it a top priority in my first year as President.”


and, lol, obaMao on the growth of entitlement programs, another bareassed lie:


“ What we have done is kicked this can down the road. We are now at the end of the road and are not in a position to kick it any further. We have to signal seriousness in this by making sure some of the hard decisions are made under my watch, not someone else’s.”
