53.)I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko’s wife buys the lot beside it that you can’t afford, saving you $625,000.
54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, it’s $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.
55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.
56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”
59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton’s and McCain’s more than a year before!
60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.
61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.
62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren’t there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?

Thanks for giving me a good laugh. You realize of course that without providing evidence, they are in fact, just stupid and unbelievable at best.
It would be nice if there were links to web pages, or specific page numbers from his book, to verify this information. Anyone can come up with a list of lies but they need to be backed up. Many inaccuracies but noting one: Barack is “both Swahili (as it is a part of Swahili lexicon) and Arabic (since it is Arabic by origin).” You could go even further that it has Semitic roots, to the Hebrew baruch, which means “blessed.” See Language Log by University of Pennsylvania phonetician Mark Liberman: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004187.html.
I have never see so many truths twisted. I guess it is an art nowadays. it is obvious that whoever wrote this never read a book about Barack and pretends to know him more than Barack knows himself.
Actually I wrote Obama’s Laundry list of lies which I started during the primaries. I was very flattered to hear the very liberal Snopes is trying to refute my claims. How funny. A list of Snopes lies about Obama’s lies!!! I’m now up to 85 (you are welcome to add yours to mine since the purpose is not to blow my own horn but to get the message out of what the real Obama is all about. Just make sure you cross reference everything.) and have more to add as soon as I finish throughly verifying them. Too bad Snopes hasn’t done the same, instead choosing to use just one reference whereas I did multiple cross references for authenticity. Do yourself a favor and make a printout of what I wrote and compair it to what Snopes said about it. You’ll see flaws and ommissions from Snopes all over the place. (Example - #5 My Grandmother has always been a Christian. Snopes claims Obama was referencing his white grandmother. This is not only clearly disengenious but downright laughable of Snopes since why would anyone be questioning whether his white grandparents where Muslim? Especially since there were no - NO- white Muslims in Kansas when his white grandparents were young. I doubt if there are many, or any, white Muslims there now. You and I and everyone else on the planet know which grandmother he’s talking about. But the most important thing is that’s who Obama was talking about.) In case you’re interested here are the rest of his lies I added to the list though I’m having difficulty with a whopper he told the other day because I don’t know how to categorize Obama stating that he was for and against off shore drilling in the same sentence. What a guileless boob!
BTW - To Maria Boggiano - I’ve read both Obama’s, to use Ann Coulter’s term, die store Mein Kahpfs,(’Dreams …’ and ‘Audacity of Hype’), and found them especially useful to cure bouts of insomnia. What a boring, humorless, clown.
OBAMA’S LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES. (85 & Counting)

70.) In Your Book, ‘Audacity of Hype’, You Said, “One of my favorite tasks of being a senator is hosting town hall meetings. I held thirty-nine of them my first year in the Senate, all across Illinois, in tiny rural towns like Anna and prosperous suburbs like Naperville, in back churches in the South Side and a college in Rock Island… For the next hour or so, I answer to the people who sent me to Washington… My time with them is like a dip in a cool stream. I feel cleansed afterward, glad for the work I have chosen.” LIAR, guess you now like to feel dirty since you turned down John McCain’s invitation to travel across the country doing town hall meetings.

72.) Obama flip-flops on same sex marriage. Was for it before he was against it.
73.) Public Financing – You Reneged on Your Agreement with John McCain over Public Financing Saying “The System of Public Finance is Broken.” LIAR, In 2007 you challenged the Republican Presidential Candidates to accept public financing for the general election to end what you said were unfair campaign practices. But since you’re now outraising McCain 3-1 you no longer care if it’s unfair, as long as it’s unfair for your opponent and not yourself.
74.) Special Interest – Referring to John Edwards during the primaries You said: “John said yesterday he didn’t believe in these 527s.” Then you added, “You can’t say yesterday you don’t believe in it, and today three quarters of a million dollars is being spent for you.” – LIAR, Apparently You believe in what you chastised John Edwards for using otherwise you wouldn’t be doing business with numerous 527s, including Vote Hope, Powerpac.org., and Moveon.org.
75.) Cuba Embargo - “I Will Maintain the embargo,” You said to cheers from CANF members. – LIAR, During Your 2004 Senate campaign You declared that it was “time for us to end the embargo with Cuba…. It’s time for us to acknowledge that that particular policy has failed.”

He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka…” – LIAR, Your grandfather couldn’t have liberated Auschwitz since it was the Soviets who liberated that camp, unless of course, he was a member of the Soviet army; and no allied troops ever liberated Treblinka since it was closed and destroyed by the Germans in 1943.
83.) I’m Against the Big Oil Monopoly. –LIAR, You accepted four hundred thousand in campaign contributions from big oil and sign a bill for tax breaks for big oil even though McCain wouldn’t.
84.) The Strategic Oil Reserve Should Only Be Used for a Genuine Emergency. –LIAR, You now think we should use the strategic oil reserve even as oil prices decline.
85.) John McCain is using the Race Card in this Election. –LIAR, You’ve been using the race card since the primaries to deflect from having to answer real questions about real issues. Your first victims were the Clintons.
