    Why can’t you answer a simple question?
    Not confident with the number of persons polled or are you having issues finding it?

    I remember very clearly. Please link to proof that Obama lied even a fraction as much as Trump has.

    I stand by my statement.

    He is telling the truth. The title of this thread is fact news, the link in the OP itself proves it. He isn’t not burying the UE numbers

    1375 lies alone would amount to 172 lies per year over eight years of the Obama Presidency. The Washington Post maintains a similar account of lies and/or misleading statements by President Trump. Through January 20th, 2020 (or about three years of the Trump Presidency), they've documented 16,241 falsehoods, or 5,414 lies/misleading statements per year (roughly 31 times the Obama rate).

    I see you can't or won't understand the finer points of what I wrote so I'll just leave you with the irrefutable fact that barry obozo lied continuously about things that matter, and that makes the post I originally responded to a leftist lie. Have a nice day. :)

    BTW, reply #120 debunked the OP so why are you even here?

    I'll take that as an admission that you "cherry pick" your media sources according to whether you are directing your post to the left or the right. And, you forgot my weather question.

    One of those was when the White House hosted a Championship team Trump said something along the line of the food reached the sky and your "fact checkers" actually tried to claim he was being serious and called it a lie.. Children /facepalm

    It refutes itself, do I need to explain what MOE is, sampling variance, coverage and margin bias? From your poll of 502 adults: “The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 5.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample of adults. The margin of sampling error takes into account the design effect, which was 1.36. The margin of sampling error is higher and varies for results based on sub-samples.”

    Alman makes a living vilifying Obama. I'm surprised you take him so seriously. Like I said, all politicians lie sometimes, but Trump lies all of the time, either deliberately or out of ignorance. Compared to Trump, Obama is a boy scout.

    Trump supporters are living a lie. Keep listening to him, and the "living" part could be in jeopardy.

    You said he lies about everything. None of those links contain a complete list of everything that he has ever said. Also many of his "lies" listed are not lies but things taken out of context or an exaggeration taken as a literal "fact" by the media, or he was simply wrong. And no, I'm not saying that he has never lied. But the MSM is misleading you.

    The MSM is not misleading me, there's no need. I hear the words coming from his own mouth, I see the tweets. Whenever he doesn't know what he's talking about, he pulls bad information out of his ample backside instead of just saying "I don't know, but let's ask an expert."

    Trump is not capable of admitting that he doesn't know something; instead, he claims to be a genius who knows more about everything than the experts. That childishness causes him to impart the wrong information, and his supporters take it for gospel and act accordingly. Do you really not see the danger of that, especially where this pandemic is concerned?
