Obama’s litany of lies gives lift to GOP

- By MICHELLE MALKIN Michelle Malkin is host of “Michelle Malkin Investigat­es” on CRTV.com.

Former President Selfie Stick is back in action, firing up Democrats before the midterms with his signature rallying cries:

I, I, I, I! Me, me, me! My, my,my!

According to a tally by The American Mirror’s Kyle Olson, Barack Obama’s campaign speech last Monday for Nevada Senate Democratic candidate Jacky Rosen referred to himself 92 times in 38 minutes — or an average self-allusion every 24.7 seconds.

When he wasn’t “I”-ing, the former narcissist-inchief was lying.

“Unlike some, I actually try to state facts,” Obama snarked passive-aggressive­ly in a swipe at President Trump. “I don’t believe in just making stuff up. I think you should actually say to people what’s true.”

Sit down, Mister “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”

Thanks to you, my husband, children and I lost not one, not two, not three but four private individual market health plans killed directly by Obamacare. Reminder: When the health insurance cancellati­on notice tsunami hit in 2013, liberal Mother Jones magazine sneered that the phenomenon was “phony.” But after 4 million American families received cancellati­on letters at the end of 2013, Obama’s health care prevaricat­ion was finally deemed the “Lie of the Year” by left-leaning PolitiFact.

And five years after promising Americans they could “keep their doctor” along with their health plan “no matter what,” Obama belatedly fessed up that “the average person” would be forced “to have to make some choices, and they might end up having to switch doctors.” Facts, schmacts. Moving on, Obama tried to galvanize voters by trashing Trump’s jobs boom: “When you hear all this talk about economic miracles right now, remember who started it.”

Hold up, Mister “Jobs are not coming back.” I remember you taunting Trump for needing a “magic wand” to achieve what you claimed was an unachievab­le manufactur­ing industry renaissanc­e — for which you are now claiming unadultera­ted credit!

I remember you, Mister Multitrill­ion-Dollar-Stimulus, promising the sun, moon and stars with the “most sweeping economic recovery package in our history” that was supposed to lift two million people out of poverty.

I recall sky-high unemployme­nt rates for black Americans, nearly double the national rate, and 90 million-plus able-bodied citizens of all colors simply giving up looking for work while wasted billions went to fund crony green energy boondoggle­s, bridges to nowhere, renovation­s to Joe Biden’s favorite Amtrak train station in Delaware, General Services Administra­tions junkets in Las Vegas and Hawaii, ghost congressio­nal districts and stimulus propaganda road signs planted nationwide and stamped with the shovel-ready logo.

Wait, we’re not done yet. Astonishin­gly, Obama is now on the campaign trail comparing the Trump White House to a “tin-pot dictatorsh­ip” and calling for a return to “decency” and “lawfulness.”

Yes, this is the same man who sicced the IRS on Tea Party conservati­ves, evangelica­ls and pro-life citizens, amnestied millions of illegal immigrants through executive fiat, appointed dozens of unaccounta­ble and unvetted policy czars, used his Justice Department to spy on journalist­s, deceived the country over the Benghazi massacre and the Iran deal, demonized his political opponents, and mastered the very social justice agitation techniques now wielded by left-wing mobs targeting Republican­s in every corner of the public square.

Thanks, Obama, for reminding America of your miserable legacy of deceit, division, persecutio­n and redistribu­tion as voters head to the polls. You wanna make the 2018 midterms all about you? It’s on.
