Obama’s Top Ten Lies From His State Of The Union Address

America has had to listen to the very last Obama State of the Union (and the crowd goes wild)!  It was only the 16th longest since 1966 and full of shams and misinformation.  Ten lies have topped the Breitbart fact check from Obama’s final hurrah and they are listed in chronological order.

• Lie number 1: “[W]e’ve done all this while cutting our deficits by almost three-quarters.” Obama has doubled the national debt. He spent astronomical amounts of money in his first few months, yet attributed it to the Bush fiscal year. Until last year, all Obama deficits have been worse than Bush’s, except for the last two years.
• Lie number 2:  “Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is peddling fiction.”  The truth is that despite the slow recovery–the slowest since World War II–labor force participation is the lowest it has been in decades. Wages are stagnant, household incomes still have not recovered from the recession, and young people see a bleak future.
• Lie number 3:  “That’s what the Affordable Care Act is all about. It’s about filling the gaps in employer-based care so that when we lose a job, or go back to school, or start that new business, we’ll still have coverage.”  Obamacare canceled insurance coverage for millions of Americans who did not change jobs. It also raised deductibles and premiums so high that many insurance companies are leaving the Obama exchanges totally.
• Lie number 4:  “Food Stamp recipients didn’t cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did.”  Actually, food stamp recipients, metaphorically speaking, were indirectly responsible–as well as Wall Street sharks. Obama leaves out the government’s role, under the Community Reinvestment Act, in pushing mortgages on people who could not afford them, and in backing the derivatives based on those mortgages that ultimately burst the whole bubble.
• Lie number 5:  “We’ve protected an open internet…”  Net Neutrality has turned Internet service providers into public utilities under an ancient regulatory regime.  The result has been a decline in investment, as well as, a less free and open system.
• Lie number 6:  “Seven years ago, we made the single biggest investment in clean energy in our history. Here are the results.”  Obama claims his failed clean energy spending–Solyndra–led to the fracking-fed energy boom we have enjoyed for the past several years.  He also nixed the Keystone pipeline and started a plan to kill coal plants.
• Lie number 7:  “No nation dares to attack us or our allies because they know that’s the path to ruin.” Of all the lies in Obama’s speech, this was undoubtedly the worst, coming hours after Iran seized two U.S. Navy boats and ten sailors. Obama did not even mention those Americans in captivity at any point in his speech, declining the chance to reassure the nation that they would come home safely. It is an omission that will define this address in history.
• Lie number 8:  “As someone who begins every day with an intelligence briefing, I know this is a dangerous time.”  Obama does not attend most of his daily intelligence briefings, preferring instead to read intelligence reports–so he claims–on his iPad.  Obama claimed that there was little risk from attack, radical Islamic terrorists carried out brutal attacks in Paris and in San Bernardino.
• Lie number 9:  “We are training, arming, and supporting forces who are steadily reclaiming territory in Iraq and Syria [from Islamic State].”  The Obama administration’s attempt to train and arm Syrian rebels has been a disaster.  Obama has not made a serious effort to defeat the Islamic State, and is even giving up on regime change in Syria.
• Lie number 10:  “Fifty years of isolating Cuba had failed to promote democracy, setting us back in Latin America.”  The Castros remain firmly in power, and we are not helping the opposition. Worse, the Cuban regime continues to arrest thousands of political dissidents, to cozy up to enemies like Iran and North Korea, and to carry out provocative acts–such as stealing a U.S. Hellfire missile.

Sadly, the state of most Americans listening to the State of the Union, is one of a nation in a coma, only hearing what the P.C. media wants them to hear and know.
