“After we published a list of President Trump’s lies this summer, we heard a common response from his supporters. They said, in effect: Yes, but if you made a similar list for previous presidents, it would be just as bad. We’ve set out to make that list. Here, you will find our attempt at a comprehensive catalogue of the falsehoods that Barack Obama told while he was president”.

You'd have to be an idiot to believe that.
Even the far-left Politifact has a catalog of over 60 of Obama's falsehoods, and that's far from being a comprehensive list. For that matter, Obama made at least 10 demonstrably false statements in his 2016 State of the Union address alone. Obama had such a troubled relationship with the truth that even the left-wing Washington Post coined the phrase "Obama's Blizzard of Lies", saying that "there is a culture of deceit in the Obama White House — a serial willingness to say things that are untrue to protect the president.". Then, of course, there is the list of over 1000 documented lies that I posted earlier and which you and your liberal comrades keep trying to dismiss with the wave of a hand.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

You claimed Trump has told more lies than any other President. That's unverifiable (as Tellaura pointed out) and you've given no source for that claim....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

Originally posted by Mountain Man View Posteven the left-wing Washington Post coined the phrase "Obama's Blizzard of Lies", saying that "there is a culture of deceit in the Obama White House — a serial willingness to say things that are untrue to protect the president.".
Even if we granted your ongoing BS claims that the WaPo is "left-wing": When they print an opinion piece authored by a right-winger and that right-winger makes dumb claims in the opinion piece, those are not opinions being expressed by the newspaper itself.
So it wasn't "the left-wing Washington Post" who coined the phrase "Obama's Blizzard of Lies", it was George W Bush's chief propagandist/speech-writer. Which rather undercuts your point that 'even' the Washington Post was saying it. Rather it simply shows that Washington Post are fools enough to print right-wing garbage. (Of course, we also know they are fools because of how much they like to smear left-wingers like Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein, but that doesn't fit with your BS "they're left-wing" narrative)"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell

That's an impressive display of cowardice and hypocrisy.
Based on your underwhelming lack-of-answer, it's likely that
- Obama's claim is not false
- Obama did not lie
- Breitbart was wrong
- You were wrong
