Where was all this anger about a POTUS lying when Bush Jr lied about reasons to invade Iraq that cost us billions and the lives of 100s of thousands of civilians ans 1000s of American soldiers? I honestly don't remember this much fervor and disdain.

Yes this president has lied. What's new? He's a politician that's what they do...unfortunate but true. We do need to call all of them out for their lies but half of the lies Obama is accused of telling are complete fabrications made up just to make a Democratic president look bad. I almost can't wait to see what conservatives start with when Hillary, Warren or Sanders get elected.

Who in government doesn't lie to get into higher office positions?!
Every president lies about something. Every president is "the worst we've ever had" while they are in office.

Obama's Uncle was INDEED, involved in the liberation of Concentration Camps, just not Auschwitz, but Buchenwald. My God, If I had a dime for everything Bush screwed up saying I'd be rich...here is your Linkie from the Washington Post. It Says Obama screwed up his Words and says Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald. My God when it comes to you Anti Obama people, you will just hear something and run with it. No need to look into it. There are more links that show this as well, but I am not going to waste my time.

Obama... lies again...

At this point, I would be shocked if something he said, turned out to be true.
It's past the point of getting old, listening to our fearless leader speak.

First lie:
When the reality is that Obama never had an uncle in the military..
That was lie #1.
Charles Thomas Payne
Grand-uncle of Barack Obama, younger brother of Madelyn Dunham, born 1925. Served during World War II in the U.S. Army 89th Infantry Division.[37] Obama has often described Payne's role in liberating Ohrdruf forced labor camp.[38] There was brief media attention when Obama mistakenly identified the camp as Auschwitz during the campaign.[39] In 2009, Payne spoke about this experiences:
"Ohrdruf was in that string of towns going across, south of Gotha and Erfurt. Our division was the first one in there. When we arrived there were no German soldiers anywhere around that I knew about. There was no fighting against the Germans, no camp guards. The whole area was overrun by people from the camp dressed in the most pitiful rags, and most of them were in a bad state of starvation."[40]

At the time of the arrest, the President told reporters that while he was aware that he had an uncle in Massachusetts he had never met him or spoken with him.
CNSNews.com also asked,
“Was the president aware that his uncle was in the United States as an undocumented immigrant?”
But before the question was completely asked, Carney interjected,
saying President Obama “was made aware of this issue when I walked into his office and, among other subjects, mentioned it to him and he was completely unaware.”
Carney apparently was speaking in reference to when the president first learned of his uncle's arrest. Carney did not say whether the president knew his uncle was in the United States illegally.
Ms. Onyango soon turned up represented by an expensive Cleveland immigration attorney when she had frequently chorused she was "broke." Then, the very same judge who had ordered her deported from US soil in 2004 mysteriously ordered that she could stay in America. What the hell's wrong with this picture?
And as some astute reporter discovered, Obama's aunt also made illegal campaign contributions to his Presidential campaign; illegal aliens are strictly forbidden from contributing money to US politicians.
Obama's uncle is an even worse story of an illegal taking advantage of the American system with even worse results.
"Drunken Uncle Omar," according to a statement by Rep. Steve King (R-IA), has twice been ordered deported and thrice arrested in our country all while being here illegally. He is being held on an ICE arrest warrant. How do these people remain in our country?
I did not say the United states. I simply stated that our society was a democracy. ie: we have the opportunity to choose things by taking a vote.

Being annoyed that his uncle was in the country illegally and he lied about it is only the tip of the iceberg! Spending time with a Kenyan is not an issue. Spending time with an illegal, socialist is the big issue. We are supposed to live in a democratic society and would like to keep it that way. When someone lies to gain the highest office in our country we have to question their motives!

Why not just say you are unhappy that Obama may have lied about his uncle being in the country illegally.
Being annoyed that he spent time with a kenyan is offensive.
Being annoyed that he spent time with a socialist is just weird.
The United States is a republic...

Why is he still in office?

"We are supposed to live in a democratic society and would like to keep it that way."
The problem is we aren't a democracy....we are a republic. Go to your local walmart and just watch folks for a bit. Then tell me you want the majority to be able to decide our fate..edit on 12 4 13 by crawley because: jots & tittles

The people that "vetted" this guy - that signed off on him running on the democrat party ticket would include nancy pelosi - harry ried - and every democratic party head in every state.
Impeach all of them - throw them in the hooskcow - get them out of our country.
They know they are to blame, too.
