A devastating catalog of Barack Obamas numerous evasions, misleading statements and blatant lies, from statements in his national bestseller Dreams from My Father to You can keep your health plan, PolitiFacts 2013 Lie of the Year.

During President Obamas address to Congress in November 2009, Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina shouted, You lie! As Jack Cashill details, the president has been lying about his personal history and his political philosophy from the beginning of his political career. Yet throughout his meteoric rise and the first five years of his presidency, the liberal media turned a blind eye to his numerous evasions, contradictions, misstatements, deceptions, untruths, and outright falsehoods.

It wasnt until the disastrous Obamacare rollout that the presidents lies caught up with him. Finally, it was impossible even for the mainstream media to ignore the presidents repeated assertions that all Americans could keep their health care plans and family doctors if they so chose. In You Lie! conservative journalist and author Jack Cashill provides a devastating compendium of the presidents false and misleading statements on matters great and small, from the deliberate distortions in his celebrated memoir, Dreams from My Father, to his rise to the White House and his years as president.

I would like to thank executive editor Adam Bellow for developing the idea; Eric Meyers and the editors at HarperCollins for striking the right balance; publicist Joanna Pinsker for getting the story right; attorney Chris Goff for not overly acting like an attorney; my agent, Alex Hoyt, for taking good care of me; and my wife, Joan, for bearing my unorthodoxy.

CONTENTS



O n the night of September 9, 2009, a still highly popular President Barack Obama spoke spiritedly to a joint session of Congress. He had summoned the members of both parties to introduce his plan to transform American health care. The promises he made that night were many and, to most in the television audience at least, sounded fresh. Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have, said the president. Let me repeat this: Nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have.
If the assembled Democrats found reason to applaud, the Republicans did not. There was little about the proposals that appealed to any of them. Nor could they have liked being scolded by Obama for the scare tactics they had presumably used to block reform and the partisan spectacle they had presumably created. Well, the time for bickering is over, Obama warned the presumed bickerers sternly. The time for games has passed.
Simmering throughout this public spanking was an obscure five-term South Carolina congressman named Joe Wilson. He had taken abuse long enough. When Obama denounced as false the claim that this proposed health care system would insure illegal immigrants, Wilson could hold his tongue no longer. You lie, he said, but widespread Republican grumbling drowned him out.
Obama elaborated, saying, The reformsthe reforms Im proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. Now Wilson burst out even louder, You lie! and this time there was no crowd noise to cover him. A distracted Obama turned his head to the source of the outburst, and as he did, the Democrats erupted in the kind of indignant gasp one hears in a playground before the cry of Im telling.
For his part, Wilson promptly apologized. While I disagree with the presidents statement, said Wilson soon after the speech, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility. Apology or not, respectable Republicans rushed to the microphones to denounce Wilsons remarks, and Democrats rushed to their direct mail vendors to exploit them.
Forgetting for the moment that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had admittedly called President George W. Bush a liar on multiple occasions and a loser at least once, the Beltway punditry convinced itself that Wilson had done something unprecedented, had led his party across a rubicon of coarseness into a brash new world. Unaware perhaps that a Democratic congressman from his home state had once clubbed a Republican senator nearly to death, House Majority Whip James Clyburn from South Carolina called Wilsons behavior embarrassing and a new low for the states congressional delegation.
Missed in the hubbub over Wilsons remark, however, was the particular nature of his locution, You lie. He might have said, Thats a lie or, Youre lying, but, in fact, Obamas health care reforms did not apply to illegal aliens. No one really expected that promise to hold, but technically Obama was not lying. As history records, Wilson could have safely shouted out Thats a lie on at least five other occasions during that same speech. He did not. Instead he made the existential declaration You lie. So saying, Wilson spoke to what he saw as the very essence of the man: Sinatra sings, Astaire dances, Obama lies.
Five years later, almost all Republicans and more than a few Democrats would agree with Wilsons assessment. Obama has subjected America to what Marc Thiessen described in the Washington Post as a fundamentally dishonest presidency. This was not easily accomplished. It took a near perfect alignment of environmental factors to elevate to the White House a man who, in the words of the veteran civil libertarian Nat Hentoff, doesnt give a damn, because he can get away with whatever he wants.
Get away Obama does. Before his second term was halfway through, Obama would be caught in major lies on any number of critical issues, such as the terrorist assault on the Benghazi consulate, the IRSs targeting of the Tea Party, the Fast and Furious gunrunning operation, and Obamacare, among others. Yet it has almost always been Fox News or the conservative blogosphere that has done the catching. The major media, excluding Fox News, have done their best not to notice. The Obama faithful have done their best not to know. And Obama has kept on fabulating.
Obamas distinctive upbringing had much to do with making him the serial fabulist he has become. Many who have studied the president have been led astray by trusting Obamas own accounts of that upbringing. Like Obama himself, they have focused on his father and Obamas dreams thereof and slighted the parent who really shaped him, his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. Although she indulged the young Obama in many ways, Dunham failed to give him a genuine sense of who he was. The parent of a mixed-race child in a world with monolithic expectations, she could have infused him with the most powerful and compelling of all identitiesthat of an American. She did the opposite.
In one of the more believable passages in his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama told one revealing story about his mothers allegiances. During their years together in Indonesia, Dunhams then-husband, Lolo Soetoro, asked Dunham to meet some of her own people at the American oil company where he worked. She shouted at him, They are not my people. Obama absorbed the attitude. Even as a boy, he saw his fellow citizens abroad as caricatures of the ugly American, and they would not grow prettier over time.
Obama and Dunhama lonely witness for secular humanism, according to her sonwere hardly unique among liberals in their shared disdain. Condescension, in fact, may be the most enduring of liberal traits. Sinclair Lewis had his Babbitts. H. L. Mencken had his booboisie. Obama would have those benighted souls in backwater Pennsylvania who cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who arent like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
When he returned to Hawaii as a ten-year-old, Obama struggled to define who he was. Given what he knew about Americans, he could hardly have wanted to be one. As to being an African American, all he knew was what he saw on TV. And so he told his new schoolmates that his father was a prince and his grandfather a chief of a great African tribe. The story worked on his classmates and almost on himself. But another part of me knew that what I was telling them was a lie, he writes, something Id constructed from the scraps of information Id picked up from my mother. For the next forty years, Obama would continue constructing identities for himself: high school stoner, college Marxist, New York intellectual, Chicago Alinskyite, Harvard cosmopolitan, African American ward heeler, all-American presidential candidate. He would continue constructing identities for himself into his presidency, and it is around these identities that this book is structured.
