The double-barreled dog whistle: it's not the lies, it's the lying

If you’re referring to the Politifact thing, there are no other Presidents to compare him too since it started in his term or maybe just before.

In any case, if a poster named BObama was only true or mostly true 47% of the time he would quickly be regarded as an idiot or a liar or both.

And as the most recent statements show, the man can’t even come within shouting distance of the truth when he’s promoting his health care law.

We had this conversation before, Politifact only looks a portion of what the president says, from that small sample you are getting a very out of proportion ratio.

As **BobLibDem **pointed out in another thread where that point of yours did not impress many.

@BobLibDem

Does Politifact check every utterance and tally the right things he says? Of course not. They check the things that sound fishy. So if you make 1000 statements a day, 10 of them sound fishy, and 5 of those are false, you can hardly say that 5 false statements out of 1000 makes you a compulsive liar.
