Obama's List of 69 DOCUMENTED LIES... and remarkably still growing

See Update 144 Documented LIES


Obama WTF defines "DOCUMENTED LIE " as :

1) a statement by one or more reliable news agencies or credible authorities citing supporting verifiable facts which rebut a reported statement by Obama.
2) observable video/transcript contradictions
3) the omission of an important fact the exclusion of which defies common sense unless the intent is to deceive

This therefore EXCLUDES unintentional gaffes eg the Auschwitz Memorial Day blip; the 57 States etc which can be found at New Gaffe City

This therefore also excludes Flip Flops as they can result from changed circumstances and/or greater understanding of the issue. However they are included if:

a) Obama is seen to be holding multiple positions depending on the audience, eg The Jerusalem flip flop...where his position was altered with 18 hours, talking to different audiences.
or b) Obama lies about holding a different position e.g denying he favored gun control
