Obama is in South Africa delivering the annual Mandela lecture in Johannesburg. His topic was politics in the world today. It was yet another of those sanctimonious "I'm so great" smugness that caused so much nausea over the eight years he was President. But this section was worth mentioning:
When it comes to doubling down on a lie he's the expert. His infamous promise that ObamaCare meant "if you like your plan or your doctor you can keep it/him" was Politifact's Lie of the Year in 2013. Perhaps it should have been lie of the decade since Obama didn't just double down on it but repeated it 36 times! Don't take my word for it:"We see the utter loss of shame of political leaders where they're caught in a lie, and they just double down and they lie some more. Politicians have always lied, but it used to be if you caught ‘em lying, they'd be like, ‘Aw man.' Now they just keep on lying!" - President Obama pic.twitter.com/qRsSdIXT4E— VICE News (@vicenews) July 17, 2018
Next time someone accuses Trump of lying, just remind them he doesn't hold a candle to Obama!
