Menarik juga membaca ada yg mengungkat hal seperti ini lying ditengah 
pemerintahan President Trump yang lying kayak makan sehari tiga kali:).
Claimed atau kampanye Obama "If you like your health care plan, you can keep 
it." sebenarnya secara prinsip atau garis besar benar. Pada waktu keluarnya 
Obamacare saya punya Blue shield/Blue cross dan tanpa ada masalah apapun saya 
tetap mempertahankan health plan itu (sekarang sudah ganti). Memang ada kasus 
mereka yg ganti healthplan baik sadar ataupun tidak sadar, pada waktu sign-up 
seharusnya waktu itu juga memilih health-plan, disana cukup banyak yg tidak 
memilih atau social worker yg memilihkan sehingga pd saatnya health-plan nya 
tidak sama lagi. Atau juga terjadi health-plan nya tidak/belum masuk ke 
Obamacare pada waktu itu, karena memang untuk ikut partisipasi ada ketentuan2 
yg harus dipenuhi.
Saya nonton debat Obama dan Mitt Romney tentang "act of terror" itu, lucu juga. 
Romney accused Obama lambat bertindak untuk mengatakan bom Benghazi sebagai 
tindakan teroris, Obama menjawab bahwa keesokan harinya setelah serangan 
Benghazi telah mengatakan tindakan itu sebagai "act of terror" dan lucunya juga 
moderator (cewek, dari CNN rasanya) menengahi memberikan fact check benar Obama 
mengatakan pada pidatonya sebagai "act of terror."

Former President Barack Obama lamented the state of political rhetoric in the 
U.S. at a rally in Wisconsin on Friday, saying politicians are “just blatantly, 
repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying.”

Obama traveled to Wisconsin to campaign for Democratic candidates for office 
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers and others.

Obama accused Republicans of lying about health care, namely that GOP 
politicians would protect coverage of pre-existing conditions.

 

“Listen throughout human history, certainly throughout American history, 
politicians have exaggerated, they make promises that they may try to fulfill 
but then it turns out to be harder than they expected,” Obama told the crowd 
assembled in Milwaukee. “They pump up the things that they did that are good.”

“They downplay the things that they did that aren’t so good.. They try to put a 
positive spin on things,” Obama continued. “But what we have not seen before, 
in our recent public life, at least, is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, 
baldly, shamelessly lying.”

Obama spun news, evaded questions, contradicted himself and made false 
statements a number of times while he was in office.

In 2011, Obama claimed he “signed into law the biggest middle-class tax cut in 
history,” referring to the Making Work Pay provision in his stimulus package.

Obama’s calculation for his claim was based on “dubious math,” according to The 
Washington Post. Former-presidents John F Kennedy and George W. Bush signed 
larger tax cuts into law.

When campaigning for his health care bill called the Affordable Care Act, Obama 
claimed, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.”

After his bill passed, cancelation notices began pouring into at least two 
million Americans’ mailboxes because of a short cutoff to bring existing plans 
in under the new law and strict regulations written by Obama’s administration, 
The Washington Post reported.

Terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, 
killing four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Obama and 
his administration downplayed the terrorist aspect of the attack in the 
immediate aftermath of the event, but the then-president later tried to spin 
his comments, saying, “the day after Benghazi happened, I acknowledged this was 
an act of terrorism.”

Obama referred vaguely to an “act of terror” immediately after the attack, but 
“over a period of two weeks, given three opportunities in interviews to 
affirmatively agree that the Benghazi attack was a terrorist attack, the 
president obfuscated or ducked the question,” The Washington Post reported.
