You Lie!

A devastating catalog of Barack Obama’s numerous evasions, misleading statements and blatant lies, from statements in his national bestseller Dreams from My Father to “You can keep your health plan,” PolitiFact’s 2013 “Lie of the Year.”

During President Obama’s address to Congress in November 2009, Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina shouted, “You lie!” As Jack Cashill details, the president has been lying about his personal history and his political philosophy from the beginning of his political career. Yet throughout his meteoric rise and the first five years of his presidency, the liberal media turned a blind eye to his numerous evasions, contradictions, misstatements, deceptions, untruths, and outright falsehoods.

It wasn’t until the disastrous Obamacare rollout that the president’s lies caught up with him. Finally, it was impossible even for the mainstream media to ignore the president’s repeated assertions that all Americans could keep their health care plans and family doctors if they so chose. In You Lie! conservative journalist and author Jack Cashill provides a devastating compendium of the president’s false and misleading statements on matters great and small, from the deliberate distortions in his celebrated memoir, Dreams from My Father, to his rise to the White House and his years as president.

This meticulously researched account separates fact from fiction and details the deceptions that defined a presidency:

• A Postmodern President: A deconstruction of the personal history presented in Dreams from My Father and other accounts, separating verifiable fact from political fiction.
• Mainstream Media Bias: A thorough examination of how the liberal media ignored years of contradictions and falsehoods to protect a political ally in the White House.
• The Obamacare Deception: The full story behind PolitiFact’s "Lie of the Year" and how the promise of "keeping your plan" was known to be false from the start.
• Presidential Scandals: An unflinching look at the administration's misleading statements on Benghazi, the IRS targeting of conservatives, and the deadly Fast and Furious operation.
