30 (and counting) lies of Barack Obama. I will continue to update this as I find more lies. If you have any not listed here, post them in comments and I’ll add them to the list!
1 – The Poor Poor Daddy Lie
Barack Obama has portrayed his father as a ‘goatherd’; suggesting his father was some poor poor peasant black migrant, who miraculously traveled to America. In reality, the Senior Obama came from an affluent, successful family and often bragged about his wealth. Read more here.
2 – The Christian Lie
Barack Obama pretends to be a Christian. It’s common knowledge that he was raised in the faith of terrorism (Islam), but he also considered joining the Nation of Islam in the 1980’s. He eventually joined the church he still belongs to: Trinity United Church of Christ (which is an left wing church). Furthermore, Obama has never given any definite dates for baptism and membership at Trinity. Read more here.
3 – The Law Professor Lie
Barack Obama claimed to be a professor at the University of Chicago law school. He did not hold the title of professor; he was a senior lecturer. Read more here.
4 – The Ordinary Land Deal Lie
Barack Obama bought a piece of land from a troubled developer: Tony Rezko. And claimed it was just business and didn’t know about Resko. Resko was in trouble before this transaction. And Obama and Rezko go back to at least 1990 and Obama knew he was dealing shady business. And more recently Obama admitted he accepted as much as $250,000 from Rezko for this early campaigns. Read more here and Here.
5 – The Foreign Experience Lie
Barack Obama attended a Muslim school in Indonesia at the ages of 6 to 10. That is his basis for claiming he has a good background for foreign policy.
6 – The Early Drug Use Lie
Barack Obama admits to using drugs in his ‘youth’. Was his youth in 1999? This person claims to have snorted coke (and had sex) with Barack Obama in 1999. Read more here.
7 – The I Won’t Run Lie
Barack Obama made the statement “I Won’t Run On A National Ticket In 08” on live TV. No further comment necessary for this lie.
8 – The I Saved Altgeld Gardens Lie
Barack Obama wrote in his book about this community work in the ghetto Altgeld Gardens in the 1980’s. In his book, he pretends he had a major role in redevelopment. Coworkers contradict that and said he overstated his role at Altgeld Gardens. When exposed, Obama called this embellishment of an author. By the way, Altgeld Gardens is hardly redeveloped. Read more here.
9 – The I was Always Against Iraq Lie
Barack Obama claims to have been against the Iraq invasion, but was not in the senate when it was authorized. Since then, Barack Obama has voted to continue funding it!
10 – The I am Against Wal-Mart Lie
Barack Obama has been against Wal-Mart and in 2006 put his support in a union-backed campaign against Wal-Mart. But his wife, socialist Michelle Obama, is a paid board member of Treehouse, a Wal-Mart exclusive supplier.
11 – The Horrible Subprime Mortgage Crisis Lie
Barack Obama pretends he has has the answer to the mortgage crisis and can lift the country out of the problem. But his hands are DEEP in the subprime pot – he took in over $1,000,000 from subprime sources. Read more here.
12 – The I don’t think my Church is Controversial Lie
Barack Obama said “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial” in reference to his hate church. When the Wright videos exploded and Obama was forced to make a speech, his gums flapped a different story “Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes.”
13 – The Gun Control Lie
Barack Obama tried to pretend he would protect the right to bear arms. Yet he funded 2.7 million to anti gun groups. His name appeared on a Senate questionnaire that supported banning “the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.” After that last point surfaced, Obama tried to blame it on his staff. Read more here.
14- The Gas Tax Lie
Obama critized Hillary Clinton and John McCain for offering the American people a gas tax break during the upcoming summer. He called it pandering to the voters. Too bad Obama has himself supported gas tax breaks to Illinois voters in the past. Read More here.
15 – The Barack Obama Name Lie
He was once known as “Barry Soetoro” What kind of a person changes their name like that? Answer? A socialist from a broken home. Read More here.
16 – The Hate Crimes Lie
Barack Obama made up lies about hate crime statistics. It was picked up on Lou Dobbs, and when exposed, Obama tried to accuse Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh of hate crimes. Read more Here.
17 – The Auschwitz Lie
Barack Obama said his great uncle helped free prisoners from Auschwitz in WWII. This was quickly dissed as a lie (wrong camp!) and it clearly shows that Obama just makes things up as he goes along. Read more Here.
18 – The Precondition Lie
In the summer of 2007, Barack Obamas was asked point blank: “Would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries.”. He answered “I would”. Now he’s backpedaling and talking about preconditions such as meeting with Raul Castro “at a time and place of my choosing.”Read more Here.
19 – The Peel off the Skin Lie
Barack Obama made up a lie about seeing a story in Life Magazine about a black man who had tried to ‘peel off his skin’ by using chemicals to lighten it. Life Magazine could find no such article and then Obama tried to cover it up by saying he forgot what magazine it was. Read more here.
20 – The No Lobbyist Money Lie
Barack Obama pretends he (and the DNC) keeps their hands clean from Lobbyist money. He says “… we will not take a dime from Washington lobbyists”. Too bad he takes money from plenty of other lobbyists. He conveniently accepts money from lobbyists who don’t do business with the government AND he accepts money from family members of lobbyists. That sounds pretty loose to me and leaves plenty of lobbyist doors wide open. Major BS alert! Read more hear. Read more here and here!
21 – The Public Funds Lie
Barack Obama for years supported the idea of people running for office being restricted to the use of public funds. This was to keep the special interest money out. This was in line with “Change you can believe in” mantra. But as with all things Obama, it was BS. He doesn’t hold himself to the same standards and refused public funds because he suddenly says the public funding system is broken. So much for change we can believe in! Instead it’s Sky’s the Limit special interest money lining his pocket. Read more here.
22 – The Iraq Troup Withdrawal Lie
Obama based his campaign on a quick withdrawal of troops from Iraq. In July 2008 after he had clinched the nomination illegitimately, he changed his mind or said he might change his mind. In other words, he lied. Read more here.
23 – The Troop Surge Lie
Barack Obama vehemently opposed the troop surge that President Bush ordered in January, 2007. The opposition was voiced on his website. The Iraq troop surge was listed as part of “The Problem”. But sometime around July 15, 2008, that opposition disappeared from his website. Read more here.
24 – The Pre-convention Debate Lie
Barack Obama thought John McCain’s idea to have a series of a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings was a good idea – until it came time to follow through. Then he chickened out and just agreed to the standard three debates in the fall. Read more here.
25 -The Offshore Drilling Lie
Barack Obama rode his campaign on a lying energy horse. He said he opposed offshore drilling and he opposed tapping emergency reserves. Now his “energy plan” includes both of those options! Read more here.
26 – The I was Born in Hawaii Lie
Barack Obama says he was born in Hawaii and is therefore an American by birth. However it appears that his birth document is forged from his sisters! And that leads to the question: where was he born? Who cares? He is a liar, a fraud, and cannot be president. Read more here and here
27 – The Atheist Dad Lie
Barack Obama claims that his father (Obama Sr) was an atheist. However Obama Sr was muslim and was buried as as one. Read more here.

We’re going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is. This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country.” In reality, Barack Obama Sr was awarded a sponsored scholarship in economics to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He was not part of an airlift. See Full Text here.
30 – The Tornado Lie
Barack Obama told an audience in Kansas after a deadly tornado: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died.” In reality, the death toll was 12.Read More here.
